The most recent congressional proposal to reshape college sports aims to go far beyond codifying a college athlete's ability to earn endorsement money.

There is some good but also some serious crazy in that proposal. They call revenue everything over scholarship cost. Then they say take 50% of that from everyone in fbs and fcs then dole it out to every single player in football, baseball, and basketball, womens and men equally.

Schools struggling now to keep facilities decent will just drop sports, because if scholarship cost is the common denominator most make that much, but lose money to provide everything else.

I doubt there are more than 50 schools that really turn profits.
