Big Ten, SEC oppose college sports bill

The Big Ten and Southeastern Conferences have issued a joint statement opposing the Protect College Sports Act ahead of Wednesday's Senate Commerce Committee hearing.

The two most powerful college sports conferences oppose the bipartisan legislation aimed at addressing issues in college athletics. The Big Ten and SEC stated they support a sustainable framework for college sports but do not support the bill as drafted. michezonews.co.za

The Protect College Sports Act (formerly Save College Sports Act) aims to provide partial fixes to problems created by antitrust violations in NCAA governance. The conferences argue the bill leaves critical issues unresolved, including not meaningfully preempting state laws or providing needed protections for consistent rules.
