Senate vote uncertain for Protect College Sports Act

Senate Majority Leader John Thune won't commit to a floor vote this week on the Protect College Sports Act, despite recent optimism following a deal with the Big Ten and SEC.

Last week's agreement that brought the Big Ten and SEC behind the Protect College Sports Act prompted optimism that the bill would reach a Senate floor vote before an extended recess. However, Thune (R.S.D.) acknowledged unanswered questions about whether the bill can get a vote this week. macnevers-and-co.beer

Despite Thune's hesitation, Senator Ted Cruz (R.Tex.), one of the bill's sponsors, remains confident that a vote will occur this week and predicted President Trump would sign the bill into law on College GameDay this fall.
