Welp. I will say this.
Tommy Tuberville knows where the bodies are buried in the SEC 🤣

as he buried some himself. He's got that used car salesman vibe.

to used car salesmen everywhere.
Generally they are much more intelligent, ethically less challenged, and more suitable for public office

It's one thing to have an NCAA rule. It's a completely different thing to make a federal law that directly controls what the kids can do.
This is insanity.

disparate state laws. Restrictive laws in some states will push the talent to less restrictive locations.
The NCAA may be capable of regulating small Div II and Div III activity but it is no longer adequate to manage major college athletics. We need a professional, for-profit corporation as the umbrella organization over major college sports. The business should be jointly owned by the member schools who wish to invest, and available to others who wish to subscribe to services.
Regulating NIL, agents, recruiting, and endless other needed services can be better managed by professionals (not a description often applied to the NCAA). They could regulate, train, and assign game officials for all events. They could offer scheduling and travel services in a way that allows "ride-sharing" among schools. There is so much angst about increased travel, but it can be managed into a non-problem.
Consider any aspect of college sports that you think is a headache/problem and ask if a central organization could solve it.

sports operate more as a business then it is far more likely to be treated as one, including taxes. That would be a lot of money that would get taken out of the system. So any change has to be very careful in how it is setup.
Overall I agree that there is a need for strong centralization. And there may be the need for some Federal regulation as well, especially around NIL, agents, and anything money related. But I have a strong opinion that Federal law should not reach down to controlling when kids can transfer schools (especially when coaches can change at any time).

They should be allowed one move before they graduate, unless their coach leaves. Should the HC who hired him leave, the athlete should get an extra free move.

They should set a standard for NIL and then go back to their dining-for-dollars with lobbyists.
The schools, and maybe more appropriately, the conferences can own a business without becoming one.

Sound fair on paper. But my skepticism says that it will never pass and if
it does be watered down and twisted to allow for the anything goes situation that currently exists
