U.S. Senators Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Cory Booker (D-N.J.) have reintroduced the NCAA Accountability Act. This legislation aims to reform the NCAA's investigation and infractions protocol by eliminating 'backroom deliberations' and 'unfair punishments.' It introduces due process protections for those under NCAA investigation, requires investigations to conclude within one year, and gives the DOJ authority to remove NCAA Board of Governors members.
