Fair Play Enforcement Act Penalizes Colleges With Player Controversies

OMAHA, Neb. – U.S. Representatives Adrian Smith and Brendan F. Boyle introduced the Fair Play Enforcement Act , which would penalize colleges for fielding athletes who played professionally or gambled on college sports. The bill aims to protect the integrity of college athletics in the midst of a handful of schools seeking to allow former pros to return to college. The bill holds colleges and universities accountable for knowingly allowing athletes to play that participated in sports betting on college sports or was rostered by a professional sports team.
