The NFL Players Association and National Basketball Players Association sent a letter to Senate Commerce Committee leaders supporting a new bipartisan bill aimed at reforming college sports and ensuring Name, Image, and Likeness rights for athletes.
The letter emphasized the importance of providing medical and healthcare benefits to college athletes and urged ongoing engagement and negotiations to enhance the bill and protect athlete interests.
