Sen. Ted Cruz booed at College GameDay while promoting the Protect College Sports Act
Sen. Ted Cruz appeared on ESPN's College GameDay at the University of Texas at Austin to advocate for the bipartisan Protect College Sports Act, which would establish a national framework for NIL compensation and college athletics regulation. The crowd chanted "Ted, you suck" and booed Cruz throughout his interview with host Rece Davis. The bill, co-authored with Sen. Maria Cantwell, has cleared the Senate Commerce Committee and awaits a floor vote after the August recess.
