January 1, Senate Passes College Sports Protection Bill With Strong Bipartisan Backing

Wyatt’s Take

• The Senate just moved to protect college sports from radical changes pushed by activist courts and far-left interests.
• Bipartisan support shows even some Democrats recognize the damage that would come from upending traditional college athletics.
• The bill now heads to the House where common-sense lawmakers will decide if fairness and fairness in women’s sports will be preserved.

The United States Senate passed the Protect College Sports Act with an overwhelming majority as the bill heads to the House of Representatives.

The legislation aims to safeguard the structure of college athletics while addressing growing legal and political pressures that threaten the integrity of women’s sports and the future of competitive balance.

Today is a monumental day for college athletics.

The Senate just unanimously passed my amendment to the Protect College Sports Act, which requires foreign investment to be made public so that Americans know who is funding college athletics.

Wyatt Matters

Heartland families know that fair play in college sports protects their daughters and preserves the values that built this country. This bill puts those principles first.
