Jack Swarbrick was on Capitol Hill.
fILE - In this Nov. 13, 2017, file photo, Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick attends an NCAA college basketball game between Notre Dame and Mount St. Mary's in South Bend, Ind. Swarbrick tells The Associated Press the school went public with its decision to not be included in EA Sports' new college football video game because the NCAA's proposed rule changes would prevent the names, images and likeness of players from being used in the game.
During a Senate hearing, 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 to the looming possibility of the players being deemed employees of their schools. “It would require a piece of legislation that recognizes the rights of students who are athletes to enter into binding agreements with something,” he said. “There is a challenge here. Are they bargaining with the NCAA or the conference? It can’t be school by school. You need some competitive equity. You couldn’t have one group of student-athletes negotiate for a 10-game season and another a 12-game season.
