Vote Yes on this bill if you want college athletes to have clearer rights to earn money from their name, image, and likeness, stronger scholarship and transfer protections, better medical coverage and safety rules, more say in athletic governance, and tougher limits on unfair recruiting and excessive conference power.

Organizations that support this bill may include student athlete advocacy groups, player-rights organizations, women’s and Olympic sports advocates, consumer groups, and some colleges or conferences that want national rules, stronger health protections, and limits on recruiting abuse and conference concentration.

Vote No on this bill if you want to avoid new federal control over college sports, reduce compliance costs and legal risks for schools and conferences, preserve more freedom for conferences and media companies to make deals, and avoid national limits on compensation systems and athletic program management.

Organizations that oppose this bill may include some large athletic conferences, universities worried about new costs and lawsuits, some media companies, booster-backed collectives, sports agents facing tighter rules, and limited-government groups that oppose new federal regulation of college sports.
