A bill proposed by Senator Ted Cruz to regulate college sports is moving forward. The legislation aims to address issues in the current era of Name, Image, and Likeness rules. The senator hopes that the proposed changes will help prevent a significant divide between colleges with more resources and those with fewer.

Cruz collaborated with a Democratic senator on the bill. Further information about the bill and its potential impact on college athletics can be found through the San Antonio Report, which initially posted about the advancement of the bill on June 28, 2026.
