College sports bill aims to regulate revenue-sharing without new enforcement body

The Protect College Sports Act is advancing towards a Senate vote scheduled before the August recess. Key provisions allow increases in player revenue-sharing while implementing restrictions on third-party NIL deals to prevent circumvention of the revenue cap. The bill is backed by powerful conferences, including the SEC and Big Ten. A crucial change is that it will not create a new federal enforcement agency; instead, the College Sports Commission will oversee compliance. The timeline for a final vote remains uncertain, with the possibility of delay into September if procedural agreements cannot be reached.
