The Protect College Sports Act is getting picked apart by good, old Washington politics.
After seven years of lobbying, the NCAA is getting exactly what it signed up for.

The Protect College Sports Act couldn’t beat the Senate clock. While the bill has a “guaranteed vote” in September, it must now survive five more weeks of scrutiny.
Meanwhile, conferences may pivot to Plan B & C.

Sen. Majority Leader John Thune told reporters at the Capitol that the Protect College Sports Act is "an issue, we've got to get better clarity on," per @burgessev. There may only be a procedural (cloture) vote on PCSA before recess, paving the way for a full vote in September.
I don't care if this is an ethical violation or not, but somebody on the Senate Commerce Committee needs to buy Ross some nice bourbon once the recess finally hits. He's earned it.
New: a bunch Republicans have holds on the college sports bill, could kick it to September. Sen. Kennedy says he’s one of them
He says he’s weighing whether to offer an amendment that would cap ticket price increases at 4 percent annually
He also wants to “make sure that this legislation doesn’t — either intentionally or unintentionally — absolve the NCAA, which lacks testicles and a spine, of any liability”
Three more amendments have been filed to Protect College Sports Act, all from Sen. Ashley Moody (R-Fla).
One creates an exception in the expansion provision to permit P4 schools to move conferences without the 5-year probationary period.
Two of Moody’s schools: Miami and FSU.
@VicVinegarNerds There is nothing in the bill that even comes close to undoing any laws regarding transgender participation. This is just a political game, Vic Vinegar
Sens. Josh Hawley, Jim Banks and Tommy Tuberville filed an amendment to the Protect College Sports Act to “ensure the bill does not overturn any state laws banning men from women’s sports.”
As the bill inches toward the floor, another hurdle materializes
