The Senate approved the Protect College Sports Act with a vote of 77-22. The bill will now proceed to the House, where opinions differ on Congressional involvement in college athletics.

Senators Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Maria Cantwell (D-Washington) sponsored this significant piece of legislation. The bill seeks to overhaul college sports by establishing regulations in a system affected by athlete payments, frequent transfers, and extensive litigation. Its passage in the Senate marks an important step, achieving bipartisan backing on Monday night.
