The Senate has passed the bipartisan Protect College Sports Act by 77 votes to 22, setting out national rules for college athletics. The bill now goes to the House; if representatives approve it, President Donald Trump has said he would sign it. Supporters say a uniform framework is needed to address what they describe as a chaotic system.

The proposal would give the NCAA greater protection from antitrust lawsuits and establish rules for name, image and likeness payments, transfers, recruiting and athlete eligibility, including a five-year framework. It would also set recruiting contact periods and a cap on revenue sharing. Critics, including Senator Chris Murphy, argue the bill would weaken athletes’ bargaining power; some Republican senators have also sought to ensure it does not override state restrictions on transgender women competing in women’s sports.
