Protect College Sports Act stalls in overnight Senate showdown, vote pushed to September after chaotic evening

The Protect College Sports Act stalled Friday during a chaotic Senate session as senators filed amendments regarding NCAA liability, women's sports, and conference realignment. Consequently, the vote is pushed to September. This legislation is designed to implement guardrails around an escalating spending spree in college sports. This comes as the industry struggles to adapt to a new operational model where teams can pay players, delaying the measure before the scheduled Senate recess period.
