The last few years of college athletics have been chaos, with schools jockeying for position at the top as the structure of each sport is in flux.
As of Friday night, we are one step closer to some structure coming to college sports thanks to the Protect College Sports Act.

In what has been a conversation over the last few months surrounding the bill that would head to Congress to basically help limit the amount of money schools could pay athletes, as well as limit how large conferences could become, one thing needed to happen.
That happened Friday evening, as SEC and Big Ten school presidents and chancellors voted to support the bill, pushing it further along.
“The Big Ten Conference and Southeastern Conference support the Protect College Sports Act as currently drafted, following detailed and productive negotiations with Senators Cruz, Cantwell and Schmitt and their respective staffs. We appreciate the substantial work that has gone into this effort,” the two conferences put out in a joint statement.
With the two conferences holding so much power over the ACC, Big 12, etc., you would have to think that the conferences must have liked something else that they could potentially get out of it.
Here’s to hoping we get something that brings more balance to the sport.
