## Resource

The Senate just passed the Protect College Sports Act 74-24, a bold bipartisan effort to rein in chaos in college athletics—aiming to cap revenue sharing at 22%, limit transfers to one free move, and restore order amid lawsuits and spiraling costs. While backed by big-name coaches and seen as a timely fix ahead of elections, it’s fiercely opposed by Black Democrats and the NAACP, who argue it protects an exploitative system. With major stakes and heated debate, this could be the turning point for college sports reform. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
