🚨 This could be HUGE for college wrestling.
The Senate passed the Protect College Sports Act 77-22 last night and sent it to the House.
Among the biggest changes:
• Athletes get ONE transfer without losing eligibility
• Transfer a SECOND time? You sit out the following academic year
• Exceptions include a head coach leaving, your sport being cut, graduate-degree transfers, or sexual assault/harassment
• Five-year eligibility framework
• New federal NIL/recruiting rules
• Increased protections for Olympic sports like wrestling
This still has to pass the House and become law, but it could be a massive change to the current college wrestling landscape.
We'll dive into it on the next Basch & The Brain.
