NCAA president Charlie Baker said Wednesday at a Senate hearing that college sports are 'overdue for change' and shifted focus away from federal legislation of athlete compensation and toward players being deemed employees of their schools.
At a Senate hearing Wednesday, NCAA president Charlie Baker shifted the focus of college sports' need for federal legislation away from regulating how athletes can be compensated for their fame and toward the possibility of players being deemed employees of their schools.
He also told the committee the NCAA was moving forward with its own regulations for name, image and likeness compensation deals for athletes. Several bills have been introduced or made public, including a few bipartisan efforts in recent months, but nothing has gained traction. Baker said athlete representatives from all three NCAA divisions have stated they do not want to be employees of their schools.
