The NCAA’s Infractions Process is so bad that Congress is looking into federal legislation to address the issue.
According to a Sports Illustrated report, two U.S. Senators have introduced a bill that would set parameters on the length of NCAA investigations, a statute of limitations and more.
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tennessee) and Sen. Cory Booker (D-New Jersey) filed the NCAA Accountability Act of 2021 this week that would create a deadline for investigations (8 months within a school of receiving a notice of allegations), a two-year statute of limitations, and changes to the appeals process.
