Big Ten and SEC Push for Bipartisan Revisions to Protect College Sports Act

The Big Ten and SEC issued a joint statement criticizing how the Protect College Sports Act has been handled, saying university leaders had limited time for feedback and insufficient engagement with Senate staff before the revised bill. They note progress with the Senate Commerce Committee and welcome amendments, reaffirm their commitment to protecting student-athletes and establishing national standards and long-term stability for college athletics, and pledge to continue bipartisan engagement to refine the legislation.
