THE KIDS DIDN’T RUN UP THIS BILL. On September 28, the Senate passed the Protect College Sports Act, 77–22, sending it to the House. It would put federal backing behind athlete compensation limits and transfer restrictions, alongside scholarship and medical protections. Now check the scoreboard. LSU agreed to pay Lane Kiffin $13 MILLION a year. Brian Kelly’s reported buyout: roughly $54 MILLION to stop coaching. The adults get guaranteed money for leaving the bench. The players get a lecture about loyalty for exploring theirs. That’s a flagrant foul dressed up as financial discipline. Where’s the equivalent ceiling on coaching salaries? Why does budget defense start with a full-court press on the athletes? Scholarship and medical protections belong in the game. So does meaningful athlete bargaining power. Protect athletes’ health, education and ability to negotiate. Hold administrators accountable for the contracts THEY approve. Stop charging the kids for the adults’ turnovers.

Two students argue beside a black sedan on a campus sidewalk, then walk on together.
