## Resource

Congress moves closer to passing the Protect College Sports Act, a bipartisan bill aiming to establish national rules for college athletics — but tensions rise as critics warn it could undermine student athletes’ newfound financial power and bargaining rights. NCAA President Derrick Johnson defends collective bargaining, calling the legislation a response to athletes gaining leverage. With the House still undecided until after November’s elections and conference-switching complications fueling resistance — especially from Florida lawmakers — the future of this landmark proposal remains uncertain amid growing political and athletic stakes.
