The Protect College Sports Act advanced Monday after the U.S. Senate voted 77-22 to pass the federal bill, marking a significant step in its path toward becoming law.
The legislation is aimed at reshaping the college sports landscape, an industry that has undergone major changes in recent years. Following the vote, Sen. Ted Cruz said, “This bill puts an end to the chaos plaguing college athletics.”
The Senate’s approval moves the bill forward in the legislative process as federal lawmakers continue to address issues surrounding the structure and governance of college athletics.
