Callan Stein was quoted in the September 14, 2026, Bloomberg Law article, “NCAA Bill Would Fend Off Antitrust Litigation, Thwart Plaintiffs.”
- If the Protect College Sports Act (S. 4668) becomes law in its current form, it would effectively limit Sherman Act claims against the NCAA, said Cal Stein, a partner with Troutman Pepper Locke.
- “It would be a gigantic, gigantic win for the NCAA,” he said. “For these plaintiffs’ attorneys, if this is passed, it’s going to be extremely difficult on a go-forward basis to try to bring any of these types of suits that they’ve been bringing.”

- Should the bill become law, plaintiffs could potentially recast eligibility disputes as fraud claims, Stein said.
- Challenges to the constitutionality of the act could also happen, but Stein doubted they’d succeed given Congress’s broad power to regulate interstate commerce.
