SEC, Big Ten voice concerns over "Protect College Sports Act" bill

The SEC and Big Ten conferences have expressed dissatisfaction with the current version of the "Protect College Sports Act," which is moving forward in the Senate. SEC commissioner Greg Sankey highlighted potential litigation risks associated with media rights pooling, which could emerge from the bill. The legislation permits FBS programs to pool media rights if a significant majority of schools agree. Additionally, the SEC and Big Ten oppose a provision that would restrict their ability to merge into a superleague. Amendments to address these concerns are possible before the Senate vote.
