Following in California’s footsteps, Connecticut has passed the Student-Athletes’ Bill of Rights (“Act”).  Like California’s legislation, the Act requires colleges and universities that receive more than $10 million in sports-related media revenue to provide academic scholarships to injured student-athletes.  Dan Fitzgerald of the Connecticut Sports Law Blog has more information on the Act and its intended purpose.
