SBJ Morning Buzzcast: September 29, 2026

The Protect College Sports Act's Senate passage (77-23) sets up major NIL, transfer, and revenue-sharing changes pending House action and Trump's signature.

  • NBC's MLB wild card debut: Four games air Tuesday in year one of NBC's three-year wild-card deal—Phillies-Braves and Yankees-Red Sox on NBC broadcast, White Sox-Astros and Cubs-Padres on Peacock; Yankees-Red Sox expected to draw record wild-card audience numbers.
  • Protect College Sports Act clears Senate 77-23: Bill caps Power Four conferences at 20 members, requires a three-year sit-out for intra-Power-Four transfers, raises revenue-sharing to nearly $50M per school (including a $5M women's/non-revenue pool), caps agent NIL fees at 5%, and includes a 'Lane Kiffin rule' on coach poaching; heads to the House after midterms, with Trump expected to sign.
