Senator Murphy (D-Conn) Is Uninspired By The NCAA's Latest Move

Senator Murphy, a vocal proponent of NCAA reform for compensating student-athletes, is referring to the NCAA's potential need for antitrust legislation to allow it to implement the "guardrails" (i.e., limits on how student-athletes can accept compensation) outlined by the NCAA Board of Governors.

This proposal is one step forward, one step back.

The NCAA wants to limit athlete endorsement deals in a way that could make them totally impractical.

And the NCAA wants Congress to give it total power of athletes' compensation. That should be a non-starter. https://t.co/G83zfkHf1i
