- The Senate overwhelmingly passed a bipartisan bill (77-22) to nationalize college-sports rules, giving the NCAA new authority over athlete pay, transfers and other governance to "fix" the recent chaos.
- Key changes would cap revenue sharing for players (a $21.5M baseline with optional additional retention funds), limit transfers to one free move in five years, and restrict coach and conference movement.
