The U.S. Senate voted 77-22 on Monday to pass the Protect College Sports Act, a federal bill intended to overhaul the college athletics industry amid ongoing chaos over name, image and likeness rules, revenue sharing, and conference realignment. Senator Ted Cruz, a key backer, said the bill 'puts an end to the chaos plaguing college athletics.' The legislation now moves toward further steps in becoming law, marking one of the most significant federal interventions in college sports governance in recent years.
