Original: As Congress debates college sports, athletes-turned-senators have a seat at the table

Congress is weighing legislation on college sports, including issues like athlete pay and regulation of the NCAA, and former college athletes now serving in the Senate are playing an outsized role in the discussions. Lawmakers with athletic backgrounds are helping shape proposals, drawing attention to how personal experience informs federal policy on collegiate athletics.

Why now: Congress is actively considering legislation that would reshape college sports, and former athletes in the Senate give the debate a personal angle.
