A state lawmaker said watching teams like the Ohio State Buckeyes has become a frustrating experience for many fans, complicated by the emergence of streaming services that now carry certain games each season.

The article from Yahoo News discusses a new bill introduced by U.S. Representatives Burgess Owens and Lisa McClain aimed at reforming college sports by enhancing transparency and accountability. The bill, known as the "Student-Athlete Level Playing Field Act," seeks to establish a national standard for name, image, and likeness (NIL) deals for student-athletes, addressing the current patchwork of state laws. It proposes the creation of a new entity, the U.S. Intercollegiate Athletics Committee, to oversee these regulations and ensure that athletes are not exploited. The legislation also aims to protect the educational focus of student-athletes and maintain competitive equity among colleges. The bill has garnered support from various stakeholders, including the NCAA, which sees it as a step towards a more uniform and fair system for college athletes.
