S. 4668

In plain English

The bill would protect college athletes’ ability to make money from their name, image, or likeness, with limits, and require reporting payments over $600 to their school. It would require agents to register with a state, cap their endorsement fees at 5%, and allow athletes one transfer without losing sports eligibility. It would make the settlement’s revenue-sharing cap permanent, adjust it for inflation, and require certain schools to preserve opportunities in sports that do not earn a profit. Schools and conferences could also jointly sell certain sports TV rights under a limited exception to antitrust laws.

The connection table

Organizations that lobbied this bill, and money each gave South Carolina's delegates this cycle: its PAC's contributions (FEC) plus its lobbyists' reported contributions and event payments (LD‑203, group events excluded). Exact name matches only. An empty cell means no matching money was found. Under each name is that delegate’s final vote on the bill (passage or last substantive vote). Delegates who didn’t vote on it, for example because they weren’t serving, are grayed out and left out of the Total column.
