The committee staffers will write the legislation

Then they will give a synopsis of the legislation to the elected folks, and then the elected folks will vote on the actual piece of legislation as it is being printed. O/U on number of pages is about 1800 pages with an additional 10000 pages of regulations. Keep in mind, the ACA was 2500 pages(with 17,000 pages of regulations), Dodd-Frank 1800 pages, and this is the government stepping into an area that they have done little to regulate in the past. Congress could decide to create a new agency to oversee this and make rules to govern all college athletics. And if you think that Title IX won't be an issue with football and men's basketball funding, Think again, there is no way that any politician in DC is going to not demand equal (or close to it) funding for men's and women's basketball and all other sports.

Any "real work" is typically accomplished during the closed door sessions

I agree the staffers are the ones who really write the piece of legislation
