🚨 Two of the most influential voices in college athletics are calling on the House to pass the Protect College Sports Act.
Hall of Fame college football coach Nick Saban and longtime university president @gordongee:
"Congress rarely gets the opportunity to strengthen a vital American institution with bipartisan legislation. This is one of those moments.
"The Senate seized the opportunity. The House should do the same and send the Protect College Sports Act to President Trump’s desk without delay when it returns to session."

When fishermen unlawfully catch red snapper from the Gulf, Mississippi fishermen and consumers pay the price. To protect our marine economy, the Senate passed the Illegal Red Snapper and Tuna Enforcement Act. This legislation will support law enforcement officials as they combat illegal fishing, and I look forward to President Trump signing it into law.

The Protect College Sports Act provides much-needed clarity and consistency for student athletes and higher education institutions. It protects athletes’ Name, Image and Likeness rights while also preserving fair competition. Clear national standards will help provide stability for college athletics and protect the opportunities and traditions that make college sports an important part of communities across the country.

Thrilled about last night’s passage of the Protect College Sports Act, which includes an amendment I authored to preserve both women’s and Olympic sports’ visibility and media rights.
As this bill makes its way to the House, I urge my colleagues to vote in favor to help these programs continue to grow and inspire the next generation of athletes.

ALT Statement from the Metro Conference: "The Metro Conference is grateful to the bipartisan leaders in the Senate whose work led to the passage of the Protect College Sports Act (PCSA), a critical step toward providing the stability and consistent national standards that college athletics urgently needs. For mid-major conferences like the Metro, which are committed to providing opportunities for student-athletes across a broad range of sports, this legislation is essential to sustaining broad-based Division I athletics. "We recognize there is more to be done, and the Metro and its member institutions are committed to working with the House of Representatives on legislation that protects the educational experience and competitive balance at the heart of college sports. "The Metro remains a leader in discussions with lawmakers on this legislation and the broader issues that will shape the direction of intercollegiate athletics."
