Cody Campbell advocates for federal protections for college sports

Cody Campbell, Chairman of the Texas Tech University Board of Regents, argues that the proposed Protect College Sports Act is crucial for the future of college athletics. In an op-ed, he outlines ongoing legal challenges faced by the NCAA and notes bipartisan support for the legislation in Congress. Campbell highlights a recent Supreme Court ruling that questioned NCAA rules regarding athlete compensation and emphasizes the need for federal laws to resolve these issues. Despite this momentum, he mentions opposition from some major conferences, including the Big Ten and SEC, who may prefer to seek collective bargaining instead of federal intervention.
