Bipartisan deal floated on college athletes’ name, image and likeness legislation

Senators Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell reached a bipartisan agreement on legislation to establish a national standard for college athletes' name, image, and likeness compensation. The bill aims to preempt state laws, address issues like coach mid-season transfers, and create a five-year eligibility timeline for athletes, while a separate House bill remains stalled due to opposition from the Congressional Black Caucus.
