The Protect College Sports Act, SCORE Act, and Other Federal Efforts to Regulate Intercollegiate Sports

The Protect College Sports Act is the latest attempt by Congress to regulate the college sports landscape amidst a patchwork of state laws and pleas by college sports organizations for a unified regime. The Act would provide the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) with an antitrust exemption to enforce various rules and grant student athletes a federal right to earn compensation by licensing their names, images, and likenesses. Partners Karen Lent and Kenneth Schwartz discuss how the Act reconciles previous approaches under a framework with bipartisan support.
