Senate passes Protect College Sports Act 77-22, setting national rules

The Senate passed the bipartisan Protect College Sports Act 77-22 on Monday night, led by Sen. Ted Cruz and Sen. Maria Cantwell. It establishes national rules for name, image and likeness compensation, athlete pay, recruiting, eligibility and transfers, caps school payments to athletes, and gives athletes five years of eligibility. President Trump had urged Congress to pass it. The bill now heads to the House, where its outlook is uncertain.
