The Protect College Sports Act is the only vehicle to rein this in and ensure only college kids play college sports.

Former Ole Miss starters Dae'Quan Wright, Zxavian Harris and Wydett Williams, all of whom signed with NFL teams this summer, are among a group of athletes who were granted a temporary restraining order Wednesday to return to college for one more season.

Statement on the Protect College Sports Act from NCAA President Charlie Baker:

"After speaking with conference leaders and university presidents in recent days, one thing is clear: there is overwhelming consensus that targeted intervention from Congress is necessary. I am grateful to Senators Cruz and Cantwell for making meaningful changes to strengthen this bill.

This is the legislation we need now. It will grant student-athletes unprecedented academic, health, and wellness benefits, rein in out-of-control agents, and stabilize transfer, eligibility, and revenue-sharing rules.

While no bill is perfect, I implore college sports leaders and Senators to support this bill now. It is our best chance to deliver the benefits and level playing field student-athletes deserve while providing the protections institutions need to sustain college athletics long-term."

Nobody has won more combined regular season and playoff games since I entered the league 10 years ago

The @NCAA has made long overdue changes to its rules, modernizing college sports and delivering real results for student-athletes across the country. Today, DI student-athletes receive $1billion in financial benefits, billions more in scholarships. Additionally, the NCAA now mandates access to health, wellness and educational benefits like guaranteed scholarships.

Thanks to these reforms, the investments of all 1,100 schools, and the support of coaches, educators and trainers, the future for the 550,000 student-athletes competing today is bright and getting even brighter.

We must do all we can to safeguard the opportunities of this uniquely American system for the next generation of student-athletes. Every sports league needs rules, and there are certain challenges to NCAA rules that only Congress can address. The bipartisan Protect College Sports Act’s sections bolstering eligibility, transfer and agent policies are needed now to deliver on that obligation.

As a former governor, I understand that getting important legislation done requires compromise. While the bill does not address every issue college sports face, the current state of play cannot continue, and we must move the bill forward. I look forward to working alongside our student-athlete leaders and all 1,100 schools to advance this bill and make changes to ensure it’s as effective as possible.

Our closing ad is deeply personal. When you run for office, your family gives up a lot. I hope that when all is said and done, my kids can know that this campaign was about making things better for their country, their city, and their future. That’s what I’ll be fighting for in Congress.

[Charlie Baker @CharlieBakerMA]

The Sorsby decision was never about only one student-athlete. We are already seeing downhill effects in other eligibility cases in which state courts are allowing student-athletes to circumvent longstanding eligibility rules, citing Sorsby outcome as part of the court’s precedent.

Another example of why we need Congress to pass the Protect College Sports Act, authorizing the association to apply common sense eligibility rules consistently for all student-athletes and schools, regardless of the state or local court system.

Was a surreal honor telling Coach Belichick how much he meant to me and the entire region of New England on @PardonMyTake today

[Micah Lasher @MicahLasher]

The rumors are true: I was a kid magician. It taught me a lot about policymaking. You learn to look at things that seem impossible and find a way through. That’s what I’ll do in Congress.

One last look at Earth before we reach the Moon.

This view of the Earth was captured on April 5, the fourth day of the Artemis II mission, from inside the Orion spacecraft. The four astronauts will reach their closest approach of the Moon tomorrow, April 6.

[NASA @NASA]

Good morning, world! 🌎

We have spectacular new high-resolution images of our home planet, all of us looking back through the Orion capsule window at our Artemis II astronauts as they continue their journey to the Moon.

This the shit I be talking about

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

.@JamesTalarico: For 50 years, the religious right convinced our fellow Christians that the most important issues were abortion and gay marriage—two issues that aren't mentioned in the Bible.

Jesus tells us exactly how we're going to be judged: by feeding the hungry, by healing the sick, and by welcoming the stranger.

Don’t tell me what you believe. Show me how you treat other people, and I’ll tell you what you believe. Jesus gave us two commandments: love God and love neighbor.

There was no exception to that second commandment regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status, or religious affiliation.

Watching my 23 year old QB get clowned by the entire internet even though I saw him be an all-pro, MVP runner-up and make a Super Bowl in year 2.

[DML @drakemayeloverr]

What a ride man.

Wish it ended differently but it’ll always be Drake Maye and the Pats until I die.

Love y’all ❤️
