A bill being introduced Thursday by four Democratic lawmakers would grant college athletes sweeping rights to compensation, including a share of the revenue generated by their sports, and create a federal commission on college athletics.
The College Athletes Bill of Rights is sponsored by U.S. Senators
Corey Booker (D-N.J.),
Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), and U.S. Rep.
Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.). If passed it could wreak havoc with the NCAA’s ability to govern intercollegiate athletics, and the association’s model for amateurism.
