Bipartisan bill introduced in Congress to fix NCAA Infractions Process

I don’t need to tell you the NCAA’s infractions process is pretty terrible. It’s 2022 and we’re still waiting to hear what will happen to Louisville and Kansas for their involvement in the 2017 pay-to-play scandal. The NCAA’s system is so broken even Congress is getting involved, with two senators from across the aisle teaming up to fix it.

According to Sports Illustrated’s Ross Dellenger, Marsha Blackburn (R., Tenn.) and Cory Booker (D., N.J.) will introduce a bipartisan bill, the NCAA Accountability Act of 2021, this week to establish due process requirements for the NCAA’s investigative process.
