College Sports Act Senate Vote Uncertain

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) declined to commit to a floor vote on the Protect College Sports Act this week, tempering previous optimism that the bill would advance before an extended recess. While Senator Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) remains confident the bill will pass this week, Thune noted several "unanswered questions" remain about bringing the legislation to a vote.

"I mean, these are all, these are some unanswered questions," Thune said regarding prospects for a floor vote. Cruz predicted Trump would sign the bill into law on College GameDay this fall following passage by both chambers. The bill has gained significant traction with recent support from the Big Ten and SEC conferences. newsindata.org
