Sens. Britt and Tuberville propose revenue cap amendment for college sports
Summary

Sens. Katie Britt and Tommy Tuberville have introduced an amendment to the Protect College Sports Act, which has recently passed procedural votes in the U.S. Senate. The proposed amendment seeks to impose a hard cap on revenue sharing for college athletes, including name, image, and likeness (NIL) agreements from associated entities. While the Protect College Sports Act intends to increase the revenue cap significantly, the inclusion of NIL deals in the cap calculation remains uncertain following a failed request for unanimous consent. The Senate aims to vote on the bill in the coming days, but further challenges await in the House of Representatives after its recess.
