Our bill protects student athletes, addresses the transfer portal issue, allows schools to pool their media rights to raise revenue, and ensures the institution of college sports will be around for generations to come. This isn’t a red jersey versus blue jersey issue, and I look forward to our bill continuing to receive strong bipartisan support as it heads to the floor,” said Senator Schmitt. Schmitt, an original cosponsor of the Protect College Sports Act, drafted the legislation with Chairman Ted Cruz (R-TX), Ranking Member Maria Cantwell (D-WA), and Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) and spoke at the Commerce Committee hearing on the importance of passing the bill earlier this month. ###	1	2026-06-23T06:27:52Z	2026-06-23T06:29:20Z
