Legislators who can't agree on anything can quickly pass legislation on athletics. Maybe we should rebrand the infrastructure bill something like: rebuilding bridges and highways so we can get to watch sports easier bill. Would sail through Congress in an hour.

UConn women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma had said that failing to pass the law could have led to recruits signing with schools in other states where they could monetize their participation.
“If the NCAA votes yes, then great, we’d have the same advantages as every other state," he said. "But if the NCAA votes no, and we don’t have a law on the books, then we’re at a huge disadvantage for any of the athletes that go to UConn.”
Opponents of the legislation have argued that it will only help the more famous athletes, such as UConn women's Paige Bueckers, who could make hundreds of thousands of dollars through sponsored posts to her hundreds of thousands of Instagram followers.
Paige currently has 829K Instagram followers; I've read that each follower equals roughly 75 cents revenue for the Instagramer/tweeter.
She's got my $.75. Does she have yours?
