"What we just saw unfold with Lane Kiffin is just an absolute abomination. People say, Well, this is the market working, Chip. This is the market forces at play. This is not supposed to be a market. Not in that classic sense. Yes, college sports can compete with the NFL for revenue. Yes, college sports can compete with other entertainment dollars. I get that. But this is not supposed to be an NFL light."
"And now we're trying to sort of bastardize this whole thing with a Band-Aid on a gunshot wound. That's what we're doing. And I don't think it's sufficient. I think we should have amendments. I don't know what we're doing, what the powers that we have here in engaging and interfering with states, but if we're going to take a big federal step because the federal court intervened, and we're going to intervene, well, then maybe we should fully intervene."
Lane Kiffin left Ole Miss for LSU on a seven-year, $91 million deal after expressing a desire to finish the season, a move that provoked criticism. The House Rules Committee reviewed the SCORE Act, which would add antitrust protections for the NCAA, ban athletes from being school employees, and set federal rules overriding state NIL laws. Representative Chip Roy argued that market forces have turned college football into an NFL-like marketplace, cited conference realignments and regionally misplaced teams, and suggested stronger federal action may be necessary to address growing structural chaos.
