Original: The NCAA used to be the villain. Now Congress wants it back in charge
Lawmakers in Washington are moving toward legislation that would give the NCAA expanded authority over college athletics, a striking reversal after years in which Congress criticized the organization and athletes won the right to profit from their name, image and likeness. Reports note the shift follows chaos around NIL rules and conference realignment, with both parties signaling support for a stronger national governing body.
Why now: Congressional momentum toward new college sports legislation has made the NCAA's revived role a fresh political story.
