Eric Schmitt, US Senator, Joins Big 12 Today

About this episode

U.S. Senator Eric Schmitt joins Big 12 Today to discuss the future of college athletics and the bipartisan Protect College Sports Act. Schmitt shares how his experience playing college football and baseball at Truman State shaped his perspective on college sports, why he believes Congress needs to establish new guardrails for the industry, and what the legislation is designed to address. We also discuss NIL, transfers, eligibility and enforcement, the bipartisan coalition behind the bill, and what comes next as the Protect College Sports Act moves through the Senate.
