Senate panel sets markup on college sports bill
Source ↗ 👁 3 💬 0
The Senate Commerce Committee has scheduled the markup of a bipartisan measure that proposes sweeping changes to collegiate athletics and has the backing of President Donald Trump.



The panel is expected to take up several amendments at the markup on June 18, including one aimed at protecting non-revenue sports. Some athletics departments in recent years have been forced to terminate some Olympic sports due to what some college officials call an “arms race” to pay football and basketball stars
