Meanwhile, U.S. Senators Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) have agreed to a bipartisan bill that would set numerous new NCAA rules into law. The bill — called the Protect College Sports Act — has been negotiated over months. If it passes through both houses of Congress, it would give the NCAA a limited anti-trust exemption. 

Among its key components:

* Permits just one transfer before a player must sit a season, with certain exceptions
* Codifies the five-year eligibility
* Prohibits former pro athletes if they earned compensation beyond prize money
* Grants legal protection to the College Sports Commission — established as part of the House settlement — to enforce strict standards over NIL deals and revenue share caps (though conferences would have individual authority to set their own caps)
* Bans the "Power 4" from creating a "super league"
* Limits agent fees to 5 percent
* Permits pooling media rights
* Bars coaches from leaving their team before the season ends

The one transfer and the limit of pro athletes rules would both be welcome IMO.
That'd get rid of these ECHL pros that Powers loves to sign...get those guys out of college hockey.  
And also no more 2 or 3 school guys that just transfer to a new school after every season.
I would like to see both of those rules go into effect, if they can be enforced, of course.
