Any thoughts?
For WYO, I thought one of the potential challenges is the stipulation that if you have a coach on payroll that earns $250k+, then you have to sponsor 16 sports. Most speculation was that some sports might have to be eliminated in the revenue sharing era but the 16 mandate doesn't allow much flexibility for smaller schools.
The guardrails on NIL seem helpful and restoring the single transfer penalty free rule is better than what we have now.
Biggest hang-ups in the Senate are prohibiting athletes from being employees because they can't collectively bargain. The antitrust protections also are a major sticking point. As close as this is to getting out of the House, it seems like they should be able to find legislative solutions to these. They likely wont and unfortunately reform probably dies in the Senate.
