The Protect College Sports Act is in serious trouble in the Senate, despite early momentum from powerhouse conferences like the Big Ten and SEC. Senators are flooding the bill with amendments—like Senator John Kennedy’s push to cap ticket price hikes at 4% and clarify NCAA liability exposure—while others fight to protect state laws on women’s sports, risking Democratic support. The Congressional Black Caucus has also joined the opposition, slamming the bill for excluding athletes and their communities from critical decision-making. Though supporters still hope for passage before August recess, competing legislative priorities and mounting resistance have thrown the timeline into chaos—with a potential September comeback—but getting the 60 votes needed remains uncertain.
