A bipartisan bill top lawmakers and athletic leaders have described as the best chance to stabilize college sports is facing a key test in the Senate.

A bipartisan bill top lawmakers and athletic leaders have described as the best chance to stabilize college sports is facing a key test in the Senate.

The Senate Commerce Committee voted to send an amended version of the Protect College Sports Act to the Senate floor for a full vote.

The Protect College Sports Act has moved forward with Senate committee approval. However, the Big Ten and Southeastern conferences oppose the bill, seeking revisions.
