Cruz Says Senate Vote on Protect College Sports Act Expected This Week or Next
Sen. Ted Cruz said he anticipates the Senate will vote soon on legislation aimed at regulating college athletics, as supporters push to pass the bill before lawmakers break.
Senator Ted Cruz said he expects the Senate to vote on the Protect College Sports Act within the next two weeks, according to ESPN.
The push comes as college football season is underway, with supporters of the legislation intensifying efforts to move the bill through the chamber before senators leave for a scheduled break, ESPN reported.
Cruz, a Republican from Texas, has been a leading advocate for federal legislation addressing college sports issues, though specific provisions of the current bill were not detailed in the report.
ESPN described the effort as an "all-out blitz" by proponents seeking to secure passage while Congress remains in session.
The timeline for the vote remains dependent on the Senate's legislative calendar in the coming weeks, according to the report.
Further details on the bill's specific provisions, its path through the House, or reactions from other lawmakers were not included in the available reporting.
