Sen. Maria Cantwell highlights benefits, she says, of pooling rights: "It lets these schools build smarter schedules so regional rivals can play closer to home.
Experts believe this can bring in an additional $4-8 billion, money we’d like to dedicate to Olympic and women sports."
NCAA president Charlie Baker’s letter to member schools today. It is supportive of the Senate bill, but also identifies unresolved issues in the legislation.
Ted Cruz says the SEC & Big Ten “want to form a super league.” But Tony Petitti rebukes that as “fabrication.”
The Cruz bill marches on without support from two leading stakeholders, now in a fight with US senators.
“A first in modern political history.”

Pray for Ruston freshman football player Lux Smith. On Monday around 11AM my Lux had a severe heat stroke at one of his first football practices of the summer. He was immediately rushed to the Ruston ER. He was unresponsive when he arrived, but luckily they were able to stabilize him. Since then, he's been flown to LSU Medical where he was seen by a Nephrologist. Lux is now at the Arkansas Children's PICU in Little Rock where they have a full spectrum of support for him.
He is still asleep and has been put on dialysis to support his kidneys and his liver. His heart rate, blood pressure and breathing have all improved, but we are just praying for his brain. The doctors are hopeful, but objective. The link to donate is listed below. 🙏🏻🙏🏾
In sworn testimony submitted to the U.S. Senate, Nick Saban strongly supports the Cruz-Cantwell bill and urges Congress to act, per documents obtained by @YahooSports.
The submission - from an ESPN employee & ex-SEC coach - comes a day after the SEC’s statement against the bill.
Spotted on the floor of the U.S. Senate this afternoon: Sen. Maria Cantwell holding a lengthy chat with Sens. Cory Booker and Chris Murphy - two fellow Democrats that she'd want to support her college sports bill.
Ahead of the most significant Congressional hearing on college sports, a question looms: Does the Cruz-Cantwell bill have any shot of passage?
Though pushback lingers - most notably from the Big Ten and SEC - one top official believes it to be a coin flip

87 years after Lou Gehrig became the face of ALS, there is still no cure.
Today on #LouGehrigDay, we continue our mission to raise awareness of ALS, support the need for research and care, remember those who bravely fought, and recognize those who continue to battle.
After 16 seasons and two trips to the Super Bowl as an NFL head coach, the top job no longer interested him. He reassured Joe Brady he didn't have ulterior motives. Fox wanted to return to football to make an impact on young coaches and players. https://t.co/m0x5uHADTl
