US EditionDemocratic senator warns of ‘Power 2' owning college sports if NCAA-backed SCORE Act becomes law
- Senator Maria Cantwell sent a letter on August 25 to leaders of over 350 Division I schools in Washington D.C., warning about the Republican-supported SCORE Act.
- The SCORE Act would provide the NCAA a broad antitrust exemption, override state laws on athlete name-image-likeness, and prevent athletes from becoming university employees.
- Cantwell contended that the bill would promote a dominant two-conference system led by the biggest programs, exacerbating disparities and sidelining smaller and mid-level institutions.
- The legislation includes a 22% revenue-sharing cap, which equals $20.5 million this school year, but could be increased via third-party deals approved by a new College Sports Commission.
- With House committee approvals, the bill is expected for a floor vote next month, requiring at least seven Senate Democrats for passage and possibly attached to larger must-pass legislation.
