There are reports that a bill will be introduced in Congress soon.
Could we be on the verge of seeing federal legislation on college athletics?
Some reports indicate such legislation could be introduced in Congress as soon as today.
Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger broke the news yesterday, with sources saying the proposed law known as the “SCORE Act” could be introduced as early as today in Congress.
The bill would do several things, such as codifying the House settlement, brings regulations to agents, preempts state NIL laws, and provide some enforcement strength to the new College Sports Commission, among other things.
Members of the U.S. House are planning, as soon as Thursday, to introduce an amended college sports bill (SCORE Act), sources tell @YahooSports.

One of the main concerns with the House settlement has been how it would hold up long-term, especially with lawsuits likely to be filed. Federal legislation would give the settlement staying power, while also providing some stability in the college sports landscape that college ADs and others have been asking for.
There’s no guarantee that this bill makes its way through Congress, but Dellenger said it “is on track to progress further than any all-encompassing athlete compensation legislation.”
This will be something to keep an eye on in the coming days to see when the SCORE Act is introduced and whether or not it can be a bipartisan effort to pass it.
