Senators Corey Booker (NJ) and Richard Blumenthal (CT) have formally introduced the “
College Athletes Bill of Rights.”
In August, they announced their intention to draft this legislation and foreshadowed its anticipated framework, which was endorsed by several other senators, including Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.
