With the support of the two conferences, the Senate could vote on the bill this week. University presidents and chancellors in two powerful athletic conferences backed a Senate plan to overhaul college athletics, according to a joint statement released Friday night from the Big Ten and Southeastern Conference (SEC). Lawmakers worked to address their concerns and gave the Big Ten and SEC a deadline last week to decide their position. With the conferences’ support, the bill is likely to receive a vote in the Senate this week before lawmakers adjourn for August, Yahoo Sports reported. President Trump has also made college sports reform a top priority, convening an advisory council to advocate for legislative solutions.
