      “The intent of the legislation is to ensure that our universities in the state are able to compete on a level playing field with the other universities across the nation. I don’t want to do anything that is going to hurt our ability to compete,”

      Local legislation doing things correctly I think.

      This is going to hurt the U. College athletics is moving towards pay for play and making student athletes, particularly football players employees. In fact, that’s ramping up faster than expected and is already a topic of discussion this off-season. Even the NCAA is trying to facilitate it. I can’t say I’m surprised the Utah state legislature would do this, though. It would hurt the U, which in their minds helps the TDS since it won’t affect them.

      It’s sponsored by Rep. Jordan Teuscher, a BYU grad. I’m sure he’ll make it an advantage for BYU in some way or another.
