The Senate has passed the bipartisan Protect College Sports Act by a vote of 77 to 22 in a sweeping effort to rein in college sports and the Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) landscape. With college football programs managing multi-million-dollar payrolls, unchecked transfer portals, and unregulated booster funding, Congress is attempting to establish order and set clear parameters.

Outkick host Craig Carton joined Dave Anthony on The FOX News Rundown this past week to discuss how NIL evolved from fair athlete compensation into what he calls "the wild, wild west." Carton breaks down the proposed reforms, including restrictions on transfer rules, caps on agency commissions, conference realignments, and how these changes will impact student-athletes, coaches, and college athletic programs moving forward.

Carton also discusses his new show on Outkick, which blends sports, politics, and culture.
