Sen. Ted Cruz told Yahoo Sports/On3’s Ross Dellenger he has a “high level of confidence” the House will pass the Protect College Sports Act and stressed that a strong Senate tally matters (Dellenger noted a 70-plus read, though Cruz did not cite a number). Cruz said procedural voting could begin as soon as Tuesday, with timing tied to the Clarity Act vote. On3 reports Nick Saban and Deion Sanders are campaigning for the bill ahead of the floor push, as Senate sponsors press for action after the August recess.
