Washington -A measure that would determine a national framework for the remuneration of College athlete came up one step closer to becoming the law on Wednesday after it was promoted in two separate US house panels.
The Bill’s Fate remains uncertain because it moves through the congress, and Democrats argue that the legislation The NCAA would give “unchecked authority” about the wages of the athletes and not take into account the athletes.
Two panels with responsibility for the matter – the committees of the house of energy and trade as well as training and workforce – approved the legislation, which are referred to as student allowances and opportunities through rights and notes or the law on the “score”.
The voice of the energy and trade committee fell in the party border with 30-23.
In the training and the personnel panel, the 18-17 votes contained all Republicans who were present when the Rep. Michael Baumgartner from the state of Washington. All Democrats in this panel voted against the measure. GOP representative Kevin Kiley from California and Elise Stefanik from New York have not elected.
MP Tim Walberg, Chairman of the House Committee for Education and the workforce, said the calculation “Put the stability of College Athletics urgently needed”.
“Since the NCAA lifted the name, the image, the similarity and the transmission rules in 2021, college athletics were in a time of chaos as constant legal disputes and efforts to classify student athletes, since the employees endanger thousands of academic and sporting opportunities,” said the Republican of the Michigan Republican while taking into account the invoice.
Kentucky GOP MP Brett Guthrie, Chairman of the Committee for House Energy and Commerce, said during the breakdown of his body: “Without this law, student athletes will insure against bad actors. Not a low generation of sports could be exposed to devastating cuts, and legal uncertainty will continue to lead throughout the university.”
The full house will only take into account legislation at least September if the members return from their summer break, which started on Wednesday a day before the schedule.
A federal standard
The efforts, nominally non-partisan, are made when College Sports World deals with the consequences of the 2021 guidelines of the NCAA, with which school athletes can benefit from names, image and similarity or zero. There are a piece of laws in the states and there is currently no federal law.
A federal judge in June approved the conditions of almost 2.8 billion US dollars Antitrust This paved the way for schools to pay athletes directly.
The legislation would prohibit the College athlete to be recognized as an employee, and require the universities, “to offer academic support and career advisory services comprehensive for student athletes, include programs for the development of life skills”, such as:
The leading sponsors of the Bill are GOP MP Gus Bilirakis from Florida and democratic representatives Janelle Bynum from Oregon and Shomari figures by Alabama.
Guthrie, Walberg and GOP representatives Jim Jordan from Ohio, Lisa McClain from Michigan, Scott Fitzgerald from Wisconsin and Russell Fry from South Carolina were also original co-sponsors.
“Extreme employment”
The MP Bobby Scott, a member of the House Committee for education and workforce, said: “Instead of keeping the revenue-rich NCAA and its powerful conferences responsible, the Score Act offers a number of spaces and rescue packs that do not collect or protect college athletes during the margin of the panel”.
The Democrat of Virginia said that the draft law was “imposed on obligations without supervision, does not include any concrete protection and sporty bans college athletes who have ever had employment or employment protection.”
“This extreme employment ban will not only open the door for the further exploitation of university athletes and protect the profit threshold of the sports departments than the students they serve, but also a wide stripping of the rights of the athletes, and that should not be the solution,” he said.
Rep. Frank Pallone, a democrat and ranking member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee from New Jersey, said similar concerns during the breakdown of his committee.
The measure “offers College athlete no sensible protection and completely ignores the real crisis for universities and universities,” he said, adding that President Donald Trump “continues to destroy the American university system with reduced federal research dollars, taxes on foundations and cuts in state study help”.
Pallone also said that the legislation “The NCAA and conferences are almost unlimited and not controlled to rule how athletes are paid for if they can transmit schools and how much time they can need for training, travel and competition.”
