NCAA draws a line in the sand for Congress

The NCAA has had enough with Congress, especially when it comes to the Murphy-Sanders bill.

The new bill, which was proposed on Thursday, is called the College Athletes Right to Organize Act. Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), along with Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.), Andy Levin (D-Mich.) and Lori Trahan (D-Mass.) introduced this legislation in the House as well.

The is Congress’ latest proposal to NCAA rules regarding student-athletes’ ability to make money while in school. Most of the others, however, are geared toward name, image and likeness. This is the first one that wants to make student-athletes employees of a school.
