US Senator Ted Cruz has a bill related to college sports that has not moved forward as expected. The bill, known as the Protect College Sports Act, was expected to be considered but did not reach the Senate floor before the August recess. The measure had gained support from certain athletic conferences after a period of little progress.

It had advanced out of a committee chaired by Cruz. Further details about the bill and its status are available from the Texas Tribune, which reported on the development in Washington.
