Senate Vote Uncertain for College Sports Bill

Last week's agreement between the Big Ten and SEC generated hope that the Protect College Sports Act would reach the Senate floor before an extended recess. However, as reported by Roll Call via Sports Business Journal, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) declined to guarantee a vote this week, noting "unanswered questions" about whether they can "produce a big vote for it on the floor."

In contrast, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), a bill sponsor, remains confident, stating "This bill is going to pass, and it's going to pass this week out of the Senate." Cruz predicts President Trump will sign the bill into law on College GameDay this fall after a "big bipartisan vote" in both chambers. With midterm elections approaching, the bill's future remains uncertain despite its bipartisan support. mchezo.life
