Running out of time: SEC, Big Ten wait on 'Protect College Sports Act' revisions as August recess nears

The SEC and Big Ten conferences have not supported the 'Protect College Sports Act' in its current form, as Senators Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell work to revise the bill before Congress's August recess. The legislation aims to regulate Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) rights, eligibility, transfers, and conference realignment, but faces opposition from the conferences over concerns about media rights and expansion. The bill's passage remains uncertain as time runs out before the recess.
