College Sports NIL Policy

More than 20 conservative organizations sent a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson supporting the Student Compensation and Opportunity through Rights and Endorsements (SCORE) Act (H.R. 4312), which would grant the NCAA a limited antitrust exemption, preempt state NIL laws, and bar classifying college athletes as employees. The letter, obtained by Fox News Digital, frames the bill as a 'free market' fix and contrasts it with the Democrat-backed SAFE Act, which supporters say would allow pooled media rights and could lead to unionization.
