I believe we want an education based model that compensates athletes fairly, protects athletes properly, and still preserves development, competition, opportunity, and tradition.
That is what this bill is trying to do.
It isn't perfect, and I'm sure many, many adjustments need to be made, but this is a serious bipartisan effort to bring order to a system that is badly needs fixing.
I don't think this is bipartisan.
I think it should be nonpartisan.
It's that important in terms of college athletics, in terms of the future for young people.
It protects athletes.
It protects opportunity.
It protects competitive balance.
It protects the sports that do not always generate revenue but still matter.
My first year we had, collective at Alabama, 2.7 million.
Next year, 7 million.
Next year, 10 million.
I retired.
Next year, 17 million.
Next year, 24 million.
Now you have schools that have close to $40 million rosters.
So if we continue to do that, we're going to lose Olympic sports.
We're going to lose non-revenue sports.
We're going to lose scholarships.
