Summary
CSU Rams athletic director John Weber criticizes the proposed Protect College Sports Act, specifically Section 205, which he argues would unfairly lock Group of 6 schools out of ascending to major conferences like the Big 12 and ACC. While Weber supports many aspects of the bill, he calls the provision that would prevent movement between conferences 'irresponsible' and detrimental to college athletics. The article explores the implications of this legislation for schools like Colorado State as they prepare to join the Pac-12.

Weber likes a lot of what's in the bill. Save for Section 205.
