College sports are currently experiencing the chaos they deserve. After decades of corrupt exploitation of athletes under the guise of amateurism, effective enforcement of the antitrust laws has turned things upside down.
Now, there’s an effort in Congress to throw college sports a lifeline.
Via Nick Schultz of On3.com, a bill introduced to the U.S. House of Representative on Monday would scrap the NCAA for an American College Sports Association.
Submitted by Rep. Michael Baumgartner (R-WA), it’s called the Restore College Sports Act.
The ASCA would have a commissioner, appointed by the president.
