Two US Senators Propose Groundbreaking CFB Legislation, Including A "Lane Kiffin" Rule

Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports reports that U.S. senators Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell have agreed on a bipartisan college sports bill called the Protect College Sports Act.

The bill would bar coaches from leaving their teams before the season ends, a move dubbed the "Lane Kiffin" rule.

Here's what the bill includes:

-One-time transfer policy
-Establishes a five-year eligibility length
-A compensation cap, similar to the NFL's salary cap.
-Optional pooling of TV rights
-Prohibits "Super League"
-The "Lane Kiffin" rule
+ More

The act also:

-Makes it illegal for coaches to leave their teams before the season concludes and schools cannot hire coaches before a season concludes — something those on Capitol Hill refer to the “Lane Kiffin Rule,”
