The Protect College Sports Act would establish a salary cap on athlete compensation and restrict the number of times student-athletes can transfer between schools, according to the bill's provisions. The Senate could vote on the measure this week. The legislation has been introduced amid ongoing debate over how to regulate name, image, and likeness (NIL) deals and the transfer portal in college athletics.
