College Athlete Urges Congress to Pass S. 4668 as NCAA Upheaval Cuts Roster Spots

Summary
Clemson thrower and student-athlete advocate called on Congress to pass the Protect College Sports Act, S. 4668, arguing college sports are nearing a "point of no return."
NCAA v. Alston, House v. NCAA, state-law differences, NIL expansion and transfer-portal churn have created what she described as a chaotic system without guardrails for athletes.
Post-House roster caps and tighter budgets have already cut walk-on opportunities, compressed recruiting pipelines and forced some athletes off teams, while some schools have dropped Olympic sports or conference championships.
The athlete said the bill would set a national framework for revenue sharing, NIL, transfers and eligibility, aiming to protect both revenue sports and non-revenue athletes at Power 4 and mid-major programs.
