What to know

  • Britt and Tuberville's amendment would require NIL deals with sponsors, media partners, and collectives to count toward the $48.8 million revenue-share cap, closing a loophole where such agreements currently require only College Sports Commission approval.
  • The Protect College Sports Act cleared its third procedural vote (70-21) on Tuesday and is on track for a full Senate floor vote this week, with House consideration delayed until mid-November.
  • The bill would raise the revenue-share cap from the $21.3 million House settlement to $48.8 million total, split among high school recruits/transfers ($21.3M), retention ($22.5M), and non-revenue players ($5M).
  • President Trump has pledged to sign the legislation and wants to do so on ESPN's College GameDay, providing political momentum for passage.
