Eventually, things get to a point when regulatory organizations lose control and something or someone steps in to regain control. This proposed legislation has some good some bad, some ridiculous. But it is the first step in a process that will take years with all of the legal challenges that will arise. Change will eventually come to the NCAA or its offspring.
Major changes outlined by the proposed legislation:
- Create a new association to replace the NCAA, known as the American Collegiate Sports Association. The entity would replace the NCAA and, “oversee and regulate college sports.”
- The ACSA would have a commissioner appointed by the President with advice and consent of the Senate. The commissioner would serve four-year terms.
- Require all NIL $ from schools & collectives to be distributed equally to all (men & women) athletes at ASCA schools.
- Coaches’ maximum annual salary would have a cap of, “10 times the full cost of attendance at such institution.”
Federal bill introduced to replace NCAA, limitless transfers, shake up conferences, cap coach salaries
Dead on Arrival…
In the present political climate (poisonous), any legislation that permits the President to select the Commissioner has zero chance of approval. IMO, the Collegiate Commissioner should be selected by the collective conference leaders.
Anything short of an antitrust waiver will prevent significant rule changes that apply to the distribution of NIL monies. The Supreme Court has made it clear antitrust violations (as they pertain to college sports) are a non-starter.
A salary cap on coaching salaries is a laughable idea. Good luck with that.
The only way to a sensible landscape is collective bargaining. We are on that road but still a long way from seeing it in place.
