Can Congress Actually Save College Sports? Sen. Ted Cruz on Ending the NIL & Transfer Chaos

College sports are at a absolute breaking point. Between unchecked transfer portal madness, fake NIL bidding wars, and the threat of a Big Ten/SEC super-league monopoly, the collegiate athletics we love is on the verge of collapse. In this episode, Trey chats with U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) to break down his bombshell, bipartisan Protect College Sports Act. Senator Cruz explains how this landmark bill with Sen. Maria Cantwell aims to restore sanity to the NCAA, establish a national NIL standard, protect student-athlete health, and stop programs from cutting Olympic sports. Plus, Trey asks the Senator about the "Lane Kiffin Rule" banning mid-season coaching jumps and whether this bill is truly the "last, best hope" to prevent college sports from turning into a two-conference minor league.
