The Protect College Sports Act is headed to the full Senate after clearing a key committee step Thursday morning.
The Senate Commerce Committee voted 19-9 to move the bill forward, sending it to the Senate floor for a full vote. The action marks the latest development in ongoing federal discussions surrounding the structure and governance of college athletics.
The bill’s advancement out of committee does not make it law, but it places the measure before the full Senate for further consideration. Any additional action will depend on the Senate’s legislative process.
