College athletes' name, image and likeness compensation

Senators Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell reached a bipartisan agreement on a bill to address college athletes' name, image, and likeness compensation. The legislation aims to create a national NIL standard, preempt state laws, and include rules like five-year eligibility and restrictions on mid-season coach transfers. A separate House bill remains stalled after being removed from the voting schedule.
