Texas senator Ted Cruz receives boos during ESPN College GameDay appearance

Senator Ted Cruz appeared on the ESPN College GameDay set in Austin, Texas, on Saturday morning to discuss federal legislation. The visit occurred ahead of the top-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes against No. 4 Texas Longhorns showdown scheduled for later in the day. Fans gathered on the LBJ lawn responded to the segment with sustained booing and chants directed at the senator. Cruz, a co-author of the Protect College Sports Act, intended to promote the bipartisan bill during the interview with host Rece Davis.

A Senate vote on the measure is expected between September 15 and September 23.
