The Drake Group commends lead sponsors Representatives Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH) and Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO), for the reintroduction of their bipartisan bill, the Student Athlete Level Playing Field Act, in the 117th Congress that prohibits the NCAA and other national or conference governance organizations or their member institutions from declaring college athletes ineligible for participation because they enter into endorsement contracts or retain agents to represent them in obtaining such contracts. The bill, virtually the same as the version introduced in the 116th Congress, has a few substantive changes. The Drake Group details its concerns.
