Big Ten and SEC just threw their weight behind a Senate bill to regulate college sports, potentially giving it a shot at passing before Congress heads into summer break. After last-minute tweaks and President Trump’s late intervention, the conferences agreed to let schools spend an extra $27.5 million on athletes — replacing payments from third parties that were undermining the existing $21.3 million cap. The deal also demands clearer rules to ensure those third-party deals aren’t secretly tied to school media partners. Still, opposition remains in the Senate, and the bill faces hurdles in the House. With NCAA court losses fresh in mind, leaders are pushing hard for action — even coaches are calling the current system a mess.
