Senate Pushes College Sports NIL Reform | Wilmington News
Description
Senator Ted Cruz is leading a bipartisan push for the “Protect College Sports Act of 2026,” aiming to regulate Name, Image, and Likeness deals in college athletics — a bill that’s stalled but backed by big names like Nick Saban and Deion Sanders, even as President Trump weighs in. Cruz’s appearance on ESPN’s College GameDay in Austin turned chaotic, met with boos and chants of “Ted you suck,” highlighting the political minefield of campus sports. Despite strong support, the bill faces an uphill battle in Congress, recently delayed until September amid Senate chaos — leaving fans and lawmakers alike wondering if this landmark legislation can actually become law.
