The “Protect College Sports Act” is a bipartisan piece of legislation designed to establish federal regulations for college athletics amidst the changing landscape of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) compensation and the NCAA. Co-authored by Senators Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell, the bill seeks to address the current legal and regulatory patchwork across different states.

Key components of the legislation include setting clear limits or caps on the amount of revenue-share and NIL money schools can spend on players, establishing retention funds, and placing restrictions on the number of transfer opportunities for student-athletes. Proponents argue that the bill brings necessary stability and structure to college sports, while critics and certain minority groups, including the NAACP and specific lawmakers, have raised concerns that the legislation does not fairly represent student-athletes or limit their compensation and economic mobility appropriately.
