Plain-English Summary

College athletes would gain the legal right to form unions and collectively bargain with their schools over issues like compensation, working conditions, and benefits. This would allow student-athletes to negotiate as a group rather than individually, similar to how professional athletes and other workers can organize. The change would affect millions of college students across the country who compete in NCAA sports.
