U.S. Senate Commerce Committee chairman Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and ranking member Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) have reached a bipartisan agreement on legislation that they say will restore stability to college sports, titled the Protect College Sports Act of 2026.
According to a press release, the Protect College Sports Act would "restore order in college athletics by creating enforceable national rules, preserving fair competition, protecting student athletes, while also ensuring that long-standing rivalries are maintained."
The senators said the bill "would bring stability to transfers, eligibility, recruiting, tampering, and real Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) rights for athletes; protect student athletes without turning college sports into professional sports; preserve fans’ favorite games and traditions; make TV money work for college sports; and restore competitive balance to ensure all schools, not just the blue bloods, can compete."
