House Introduces Bipartisan SCORE Act for National College Sports Reform
A bipartisan group in the U.S. House of Representatives has introduced the Student Compensation and Opportunity through Rights and Endorsements (SCORE) Act, aiming to create a comprehensive national framework for college sports. The bill establishes clear federal standards to protect student athletes' rights to enter into Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) agreements, limiting agent fees to 5 percent of athlete deals, and providing legal and financial literacy support. It also offers protections against exploitation, mandates coverage for athletic injuries up to three years post-enrollment, and guarantees scholarship security regardless of injury or NIL activity. The SCORE Act includes provisions to shield the NCAA and related entities from antitrust lawsuits, allows schools to regulate NIL deals conflicting with sponsorships, and prevents athletes from being classified as employees. Additionally, the bill requires schools with highly paid coaches to maintain a minimum number of varsity teams and to provide transparency about athletic finances, mental health services, and academic counseling. The legislation has bipartisan support in the House but faces challenges in the Senate, with proponents emphasizing its role in bringing stability and clarity to college athletics.
