USC is hanging on by a thread. I don’t know how this bill would apply to public vs private but if this bill passed and SC had to follow suite it would be the nail in the coffin for them.

The people who run most of those schools don't care.

Often, proposed bills are PR gimmicks with no chance of passage.

Yep. College sports... EVEN in California, are still big business. Some state legislature writes am outrageous bill to get their name in the newspaper, because all publicity is good publicity, right?

Then it gets killed before even getting out of committee and everyone moves on.

I read recently how many legislative bills are proposed each year in the House of Reps and how many actually pass.  The ratio is nearly 100:1 if memory serves.

So, folks get excited about some new "gun law" or whatever that was proposed merely for PR by that member.  I know Cruz introduces each year a term limits proposed amendment that goes nowhere.  It's a stunt.

Then there are myriad "resolutions" which mean nothing.  They may rename a post office.

Fortunately, "they" usually "do" rather little, not always, but often.

I agree with the last thing on the list, but the other 3 are nuts.

... Should they?

I mean, I love college sports. But it's mostly a massive marketing arm, which is nice to have, but probably also adds considerably to the bloat of post-secondary education we have in this country. If a school wanted to move toward being more of a school and less of brand, I don't know what the great argument against it is.

(The language reads broad in the bill, which suggests it's just PR fluff. Private schools would sue, at least one would, and it would be a whole damn thing)

And even then, it's a multi-part saga.

My state just passed a bill over one of the most basic contentious issues. It immediately gets blocked by the courts, as it goes against supreme court precedent. Then my state gets to drop several mil to appeal it up to the Supreme Court, where if has been slapped back to this point, though that might change. Oh, and multiple states do this multiple times, hoping to be the one to get their name on a landmark reversal, if it happens. 

But man, folks get all the PR along the way.
