Protect College Sports Act of 2026

Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee · Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)

Summary: The bill would establish federal rules for college athletes' name, image, and likeness (NIL) deals, requiring athletes to disclose compensation above $600 and capping agent fees at 5 percent. It would also allow athletes one penalty-free transfer, restrict how schools can pay athletes to work around revenue-sharing limits, and give schools and conferences limited antitrust protection to collectively negotiate sports broadcasting rights.
