Frontofficesports.com summarizes its ideas about what could happen for college sports in the new Congress:
In college sports, Trump’s presidency and Tuesday’s red wave could have a very real and direct impact on the lives of college athletes. The Republican-led Senate is more likely to push legislation that ensures college athletes cannot be treated as employees and also gives the NCAA an antitrust carve-out. Texas senator Ted Cruz will likely chair the Senate Commerce Committee, and he’s been supportive of most of the NCAA’s requests.
