The Protect College Sports Act is a playbook that will help programs adapt to the ever-evolving world of NIL. It’s imperative to have rules in place like the ones in this bill to protect the future of college athletics and to ensure that college sports remain in college.

🚨Chairman @SenTedCruz and Senator @RonWyden have officially introduced the JAWBONE Act to combat government-led censorship. Chairman Cruz stated, “Government interference in online speech is not fiction. The Biden administration weaponized the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to pressure Big Tech into ‘canceling’ Americans who spoke out against vaccine mandates and election fraud. Holding the government accountable and giving Americans the tools to fight back is essential. The JAWBONE Act ensures the First Amendment is protected, not undermined.” Read more here ⬇️ commerce.senate.gov/press/re…

Missed this yesterday: The SWAC sent a letter to lawmakers supporting the Cruz-Cantwell bill - despite the legislation remaining neutral on employment.

"The culture that was instilled in us when we were younger was that we listened to our coach, we stayed with our coach, and we fought with our coach. One time, we transferred, and then that was it. After that, you had to pay your own way because it was an educational opportunity."

Ambitious is what we do at NASA. Artemis III will be unlike anything we’ve ever undertaken. A multi-launch campaign bringing together the most powerful rockets in the world to test rendezvous, docking, and interoperability across multiple systems close to Earth before we return astronauts to the lunar surface. This is how we get into the rhythm of the missions that follow. You give NASA and our industry partners a year, we’ll get the job done.

Take a minute and listen to this passsionate testimony. He captures what's at stake: opportunities for student athletes, traditions that unite communities, and a college sports model that is increasingly under strain. We risk losing all of that if Congress doesn't act.
A powerful closing statement from @MemphisFB Head Coach @CoachHuff in Washington DC today with Senators Cruz and Cantwell on the Protect College Sports Act👏 #BuiltToRise x @TigersAthletics

OVER A DECADE OF ICEBREAKER ADVOCACY🧊⛏️ For 10 years, I’ve been fighting to homeport icebreakers where the ice is—Alaska. Now, that fight is paying off. MORE ICEBREAKERS ARE COMING TO ALASKA! This is not only great for our national security, it’s great for our state’s economy, too. 🙌
