Don Malloy Opposes College Sports Bill, Warning Federal NIL Rules Could Cut Athlete Opportunity

Summary
Don Malloy, a former NFL player and sports agent, publicly opposed the Protect College Sports Act, saying the Senate-backed proposal would curb athletes’ ability to earn NIL income and shape their futures.
Malloy argued college sports need reform but not a Washington-run system, contending federal oversight of NIL deals and transfers would move decisions away from athletes, schools and communities closest to them.
NIL income has already changed athletes’ lives, he said, citing families relieved by first major deals and players using the money to ease financial pressure while learning branding and money-management skills.
The criticism lands as a Senate panel works to advance legislation aimed at regulating NIL and the transfer portal, a system Malloy said remains unstable and confusing but should be fixed from within college sports.
