Protect College Sports Act advances in Senate, Cruz warns smaller programs at risk
By

Summary
The article discusses the Protect College Sports Act, a bill that cleared the Senate Commerce Committee with a 19-9 vote. Sen. Ted Cruz argues the legislation is necessary to protect smaller college athletic programs (like Rice, TCU, SMU, Baylor, Texas Tech, Houston) from being left behind as powerhouse programs like Texas and A&M dominate. Sen. Maria Cantwell similarly frames the issue around protecting schools like Washington State. The bill promises to save everyone but the giants, though analysis suggests it may actually build a fence around the current system rather than truly reform it.

· 3 pulledI love Texas and A&M, but they are going to thrive and win national championships. If we don't act, I'm not sure any other Texas program survives.
I look around Texas and imagine a world without TCU, SMU or Baylor or Texas Tech or Houston or Rice.
The Protect College Sports Act cleared committee by promising to save everyone but the giants. Read the text it actually passed, and what it builds is a fence.
