AAJ Applauds Bill to Protect the Rights of College Athletes
December 01,2025WASHINGTON, DC—American Association for Justice CEO Linda Lipsen released the following statement applauding the introduction of the College Athletics Reform Act (CARA):
“Our nation’s college athletes are more than players—they’re a cherished part of American culture. But for too long, the NCAA and big institutions have profited off of their hard work while failing to empower and protect them. This critical legislation would finally ensure that college athletes have legally enforceable rights and the same economic freedoms as every other American. I thank Representative Trahan for her tireless work on behalf of college athletes and the schools that rely on them."
