Former Auburn/Ole Miss/Texas Tech/Cincinnati FB HC and current U.S. Senator Tuberville (R-AL) tells Sportico he does not foresee a federal bill passing the next Congress that would include an antitrust exemption for the NCAA. He explains: “We’ve got to take care of all these recruiting possibilities first, and once we get through this we would like to stay out of it. If you get (Congress) involved, it is not a rule, it is a law. We don’t want to jump in this with all four feet and say this is how it is going to be with every situation.” Tuberville, who says he plans to introduce his bill with U.S. Senator Manchin (D-WV) sometime in the spring of 2023, also tells Sportico he believes incoming NCAA President Baker is walking into an “impossible job” and adds: “The problem the NCAA had is they were so vulnerable with lawsuits and couldn’t afford it. It was money going out the door, again and again. We can help to some point, but we don’t want to go overboard on antitrust and all those things.”
