Senate Moves Closer to Final Vote—But Don’t Hold Your Breath

The Latest: The Protect College Sports Act (PCSA) cleared its third procedural vote (70-21, 9 absentees) and is chugging toward a final Senate vote—*eventually*. With 35+ amendments filed and unanimous consent to fast-track shot down, this could drag into next week. Last procedural vote hit 77-22, so passage isn’t in doubt, but the clock’s ticking.

The Money Angle: A Britt-Tuberville amendment just slammed the door on NIL loopholes. The rev-share cap jumps from $21.3M to $48.8M, broken down like this:
• $21.3M for HS/transfers
• $22.5M to keep current players
• $5M for non-rev athletes

Big Change: All NIL deals—even from collectives, school sponsors, or MMR partners—now count toward the cap. No more hiding money in the shadows.

House Hurdles: Even if the Senate passes it, the House is a minefield. The ACC’s split over conference expansion (and White House involvement) could sink it. Dems are pushing to swap neutral language for Murphy’s unionization bill, but with 77 votes already locked in, don’t expect last-minute deals.

Verdict: Senate’s got the numbers, but the House? That’s where this thing dies or gets gutted. Buckle up—it’s gonna be a long week.
