Summary

President of the New York Yankees and Chairman of the Presidential Committee on College Sports Randy Levine joins the Brian Kilmeade Show to pull back the curtain on a revolutionary, bipartisan Senate bill designed to save college sports. Levine exposes the backroom "collectives" and under-the-table financial schemes bypassing current salary limits, which are forcing universities to cut vital Olympic and women’s sports. He lays out the hard rules of the new legislation—including a strict transfer portal cap, age limits, and the federal registration of agents—and issues a blunt challenge to major universities to prove if they are serious about protecting student-athletes or just running a sham.
