Kamala Harris, Cory Booker among senators to endorse bill of rights aimed at college athletes

Vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris has endorsed a plan that would help college athletes profit off their name and likeness, and receive long-term medical coverage, according to the Associated Press.

Harris, 55, is among the nine senators that have endorsed the plan, which was brought forth by Cory Booker of New Jersey and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut.

Under the plan, college athletes would profit off their likeness with “minimal restrictions,” according to the Associated Press.

The legislative plan calls for college athletes to have the ability to earn money for their names, images and likenesses with “minimal restrictions,” and much more.

The senators also want to ensure for the athletes long-term medical coverage and treatment, enforceable medical standards, academic freedom and revenue sharing agreements.
