Senate passes Protect College Sports Act with bipartisan vote
The U.S. Senate voted 77-22 on Monday to pass the Protect College Sports Act.
Bill moves to House next
The legislation now proceeds to the House of Representatives where it faces potential opposition. Representatives are not scheduled to vote until after the midterm elections in November. If the bill does not pass during the lame-duck session before January, the process must restart.
Supporters cite student benefits
Senators stated their goal was a large bipartisan vote rather than a narrow margin. NCAA President Charlie Baker noted that student-athletes advocated for the bill to codify future benefits. The act aims to address fairness and equity concerns within collegiate athletics.
