That's what frustrates me — we have a bill that's going to protect the wealth and the gravy train for a lot of folks but puts burdens on college athletes.
This bill actually does is it takes away rights for them to legally challenge anything that the cartel of the NCAA does.
That is a lie. The reality is, they don't need Congress' beneficent actions to give them NIL rights, they've earned them in the courts.
At its core, it’s a bill that undermines the rights of young people who pour their blood, sweat, tears, countless hours of work and more, into their craft.
