Rand Paul introduces the Collegiate Sports Integrity Act in Senate

Published



Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) introduced legislation in the Senate on Tuesday that could redefine collegiate athletics, especially regarding student-athletes’ compensation.

Paul’s Collegiate Sports Integrity Act would exempt “athletic conferences, associations, and participating schools” at the college level from the nation’s current antitrust laws, according to a press release. The senator said his bill would “restore free-market principles” to student-athletes competing in college sports governed by the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
