✍️ Efforts to reform college sports remain uncertain as two bills, SCORE and SAFE, struggle to find backing in Congress due to differing priorities.
👉 The SCORE Act would give the NCAA a limited antitrust exemption and bar athletes from becoming employees 👉 The SAFE Act would allow conferences to pool their broadcast rights 👉 Both bills would preempt state laws regarding name, image, and likeness payments 👉 Both bills would require schools to offer medical insurance to athletes after they leave school 👉 The NCAA opposes athletes becoming employees, while many Democrats support it
