The Senate Commerce Committee has internally announced a hearing on the Cruz-Cantwell bill for Wednesday morning.
The hearing is titled “Protecting College Sports: Supporting student athletes, restoring fair competition, and saving the game fans love.”
As reported in a @YahooSports story last week, the bill is expected to also codify portions of the House settlement, offer optionality to pool media rights and create an agent registry system.
It is not expected to include the rigid anti-employment concept found in SCORE Act.
Exclusive to @YahooSports: Sens. Ted Cruz & Maria Cantwell detail their groundbreaking legislation:
*1X transfer
*5-yr eligibility/pro player ban
*hard cap
*5% max agent fee
*"Lane Kiffin Rule"
*optional pooling of TV rights
*prohibits "super league"

Pete Maravich of LSU holds all-time career scoring record in NCAA D1 men’s basketball with 3,667 points!
Pistol Pete achieved this feat during his 3 varsity seasons at LSU from 1967–68 to 1969–70, averaging 44.2 points per game without the benefit of 3-Point Line or Shot Clock!
If St. John's and Louisville win their respective first round games in the Players Era 16 then Rick Pitino will face his former school on Thanksgiving Day in Las Vegas.
Just another reason why Thanksgiving has become a holiday that gets in the way of college basketball.
When two of the Knicks’ three wings are playing well, they’re really difficult to beat. What a night for Josh Hart. Cavs dared him to beat them. He did. Bridges very efficient, Anunoby solid. That means Brunson can be a playmaker. KAT a double-double.
Complete performance.
The @nyknicks will head to Cleveland for games 3 & 4 as they r up on the @cavs 2- 0in @NBA East Finals . Stars of the night for Knicks JOSH HART playoff high 26 & KARL ANTHONY TOWNS ! with 18 pts -13 rebounds - plus JALEN BRUNSON with a strong 2nd half 19 pts & 14 assists.
Yes it sickens me that they water down the tournament by expanding - more teams that are MEDIOCRE at best will. Be added - the real chaos of college hoops instability - no controls of NIL are just left alone - is that leadership ? https://t.co/AFcJ8xBgtB
The problem with expanding the NCAA tournament isn’t the number of teams.
It’s allowing Greg Sankey and Tony Petitti to run roughshod over college sports when they’ve been ineffective leaders at a time of existential crisis.

Tennessee's starting lineup next season will probably be the most talented pure scoring lineup in the entire country.
Their lineup is projected to have the best "Individual Scoring" grade of any unit in the country using https://t.co/cegyfz8ykZ's lineup analysis tool.
Expanding the NCAA Tournament is a terrible thing for college basketball's regular season.

Thanks @MattBakerCFB - As Dick Vitale fights cancer for fifth time, those he’s supported show up for him at annual gala @ESPNPR https://t.co/Izg7hxj8Js via @NYTimes
An absolute clinic of a first half by the Knicks. Jalen Brunson putting on a show, Bridges and company making life complicated for Maxey and Embiid getting challenged much more in this matchup. OG Anunoby sets a tone of toughness for New York. Really impressive 24 minutes.
