NEW: #NotreDame's 5-star TE recruit @IanPremer had 58 tackles and 6 INTs as a safety — now he's using that defensive knowledge to evolve as tight end and make an early impact for the Irish🔥

It's go time for five June-arriving ND football freshmen. ☘️

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.”

Notre Dame AD Pete Bevacqua Opening Remarks on Protect College Sports Legislation "If we don't act now I fear the future of College Sports." #cfbnews #collegefootball #GoIrish #NotreDame

[Cody Campbell @CodyC64]

Great point made by Notre Dame AD Pete Bevacqua in the Senate college sports hearing today: Constant player movement (through the portal) is a real threat to athlete safety and welfare. Consistent access to the same trainers, doctors, strength coaches, and physical development is key in effectively treating, preventing, and rehabbing injuries.

95 days until Notre Dame football ☘️

Pete Bevacqua: “If you wanted to maximize media value around college football, I think you would take 24 to 30 teams, create unbelievably competitive scheduling where a team like Notre Dame would play Alabama, Georgia, Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan…”👀

In a scrum with reporters after the hearing, Sen. Maria Cantwell sounds willing to make changes to the bill based on comments from the hearing and beyond.

But as for the pooling rights portion of the bill, “I’d definitely want to keep that because we need revenue.”

Bevacqua, a former NBC executive, cast doubts on projections of a large increase in media rights value from an FBS pooling of rights.

What would increase value, he says, is to create a super league of 24-30 schools and optimize schedules. He is against a super league, though.

[Ross Dellenger @RossDellenger]

Pete Bevacqua is in favor of a standalone window for the Army-Navy Game even if it must shift from the current date.

[Ross Dellenger @RossDellenger]

The Senate Commerce Committee hearing has concluded.

The Cruz-Cantwell college sports bill now moves on - maybe - to the next stage, which is an amendment process that could begin as soon as this week, especially on the heels of the SEC and Big Ten's suggestions of changes.
