The latest attempt by Congress to provide some sort of oversight for college sports includes a rule that many are already naming after Lane Kiffin.
Senators Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) unveiled the “Protect College Sports Act” on Wednesday, a bipartisan attempt to provide some sort of protection for the NCAA and its member schools.
The text of the bill was released to the media, and one particular section garnered a good amount of attention. The bill would prohibit coaches from jumping from one school to another during the same season, a provision that was quickly dubbed the “Lane Kiffin rule.”
Notably, the rule also would prohibit rival schools from poaching a coach before the season ends.
