President Trump calls for the passage of the Cruz-Cantwell senate bill on college sports.

[Commentary Donald J Trump Truth Social Posts On X @TrumpTruthOnX]

College Sports, a Great American Institution that produces our many Athletes, Leaders, and Olympic Dominance, is a total “mess,” and everyone is saying that it must be fixed. After unending lawsuits and crazed rulings, there are virtually no limits anymore, and soon most Colleges won't have Sports because each and every one of them will be bankrupt, never to be heard from again. Women's Sports, and the Olympics, itself, are in the most danger from this catastrophic situation. College Sports are turning into Pro Sports, except with absolutely no rules, a result no one wants. University Presidents, Conference Commissioners, Student-Athletes, Coaches, and Athletic Directors all complained to me that it has become a disaster, after years of no action, and that Schools were losing Hundreds of Millions of Dollars a year. They compared it to a freight train that can’t be stopped!

That is why, a few months ago, I convened a Roundtable bringing together a World-Class Team of some of the best Sports Executives, Student-Athletes, and Political Leaders in our Country. The goal was to find a Bipartisan solution to fix the problem.

Based on these meetings and the expertise of the Leading Authorities, I signed an Executive Order, but I always said that the best solution was to get a Bipartisan Act of Congress to my desk in order to save a long and embarrassing ROAD THROUGH HELL for these Institutions. I’d like to thank Senators Ted Cruz, Eric Schmitt, Maria Cantwell, and Chris Coons, among others, for introducing the Protect College Sports Act. This Law resolves many of the most urgent issues challenging our Universities and Student-Athletes, stops the chaos and, most importantly, it may be the last chance to save College Sports, and Colleges themselves, before it's too late.

The House has worked long and hard on this issue as well, and I am very grateful to Speaker Mike Johnson and Leader Steve Scalise for their work to fix this very major problem.

I urge the House and Senate to come together to pass a final Bipartisan Law, that I can sign this summer, that reflects the views and input of both Chambers. WE HAVE TO SAVE COLLEGE SPORTS! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

[Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt]

“Rules are there ain’t no rules.”

And when it comes to college sports we have to fix that.

@tedcruz , @MariaCantwell and I introduced a bill to protect college sports.

Without it the entire college sports system will collapse.

[Jake Sherman @JakeSherman]

DAN MARINO -- yes, that Dan Marino -- is TED CRUZ'S guest today at the GOP steering lunch.

MARINO will discuss college athletics. CRUZ's NIL/college sports bill was up in committee today.

College sports is worth fighting for, and if we don't, they could be gone for good.

Congress is the only entity on earth that has the ability to grant the NCAA the antitrust status it needs to restore stability and balance to the chaotic system.

Let's get it done.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

Graham Platner told Democrat senators, “The worst of the rumors we’ve all heard aren’t true,” and no one would “credibly” accuse him of sexual assault. I’m starting to think picking the guy with the Nazi tattoo on his chest was a bad idea. https://t.co/zq9eMX6Bsr

Hitler was a socialist

As is Graham Platner

[Senate Republicans @NRSC]

.@tedcruz CALLS OUT Graham Platner and the Democrats standing behind him:

"He has multiple women that his wife told the campaign he was engaged in sexually explicit texts with. He was on this website that is filled with child pornography, that is a website for predators."

[Ted Cruz @tedcruz]

Democrats & media claimed tax cuts were only for the rich.

They lied.

The Working Families Tax Cut was a targeted tax break to working class Americans who needed it.

Cut through the noise and get the facts on the latest episode of Verdict.

[Ted Cruz @tedcruz]

97% of Americans got a tax cut thanks to the Working Families Tax Cut Act — $82 BILLION in relief!

Get the facts that Democrats don’t want you to know only on Verdict.

[Ted Cruz @tedcruz]

The Working Families Tax Cut Act is delivering massive GDP growth.

Meanwhile, Democrats want to reverse it all and hike taxes by $5 trillion.

This election is revealing what Senate Democrats really care about.

John Fetterman is the only Democrat willing to condemn a self-described communist with Nazi imagery tattooed on his chest for 18 years.

Today’s Democrats care about power.

[Mr Producer @RichSementa]

Sen @tedcruz: Democrats Don't Care About Democracy

"This is the same Democrat Party that removed Donald Trump from the ballot in multiple States. That's how little they care about democracy... Chuck Schumer just wants power and and with the voters say doesn't matter."

The party of “democracy” is anything but.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

Nick Saban, testifying in front of a Senate committee now, comes out strongly in favor of the Cruz-Cantwell college sports bill. Says the bill is needed because college sports are a mess headed for a much bigger mess.

[Fox News @FoxNews]

Legendary former Alabama football coach Nick Saban issues a stark warning on the devastating trajectory of college sports under current NIL rules.

"It's become an arms race, who spends the most has got the best chance to win.”

“But I think it's a race to the bottom because if you don't spend to win, you lose your fan base and you don't have any revenue."
