Protect College Sports Act Senate Vote Uncertain

Last week's deal securing support from the Big Ten and SEC for the Protect College Sports Act created optimism that the bill would reach a Senate floor vote before an extended recess. However, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) has declined to commit to a vote this week, stating there are 'unanswered questions' about getting the bill in the queue. afnews.co.za

Despite Thune's caution, Senator Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), a sponsor of the legislation, remains confident the bill will pass this week and predicted President Trump would sign it into law on College GameDay this fall. The bill's future remains uncertain as midterm elections approach.
