Congress Punts on Paying Student-Athletes

New York Times: “Congress is not expected to move this month to override a crush of state laws that, as soon as July 1, will challenge the NCAA rules that have kept college athletes from making money off their fame.”

“The absence of an accord, or even a clear timeline for one, by the start of July would be a blow to the NCAA and its most influential and wealthy conferences, which have spent many months and millions of dollars seeking intervention from Washington.”
