Former College, Pro Players Warn SCORE Act Will Hurt College Sports’ Most Valuable Assets: Athletes
Today, former college and professional athletes joined U.S. Senators Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) Ranking Member of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) in warning that the SCORE Act, being considered by the House of Representatives, would roll-back hard fought NIL rights and health protections, leave athletes vulnerable to unscrupulous agents, short-change women’s and Olympic sports and shut the door on collective bargaining rights. Today’s comments came during a virtual press conference hosted by the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA), National Basketball Players Association (NBPA), National Women’s Soccer League Players Association (NWSLPA), Major League Soccer Players Association (MLSPA), Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) and the National Hockey League Players Association (NHLPA).
