| Ted Cruz's Bid to Pass His College Sports Bill Soon Is Falling Short | |
 | It turns out the U.S. House of Representatives will not jump through hoops to vote on Sen. Ted Cruz's college sports bill during the campaign season. After the midterms, the House might even try to call some audibles with the legislation. The Texas Republican has been adamant the House could come back before the elections and quickly pass the Protect College Sports Act (or PCSA). But House Majority Leader Steve Scalise told The Washington Sun in an interview on Wednesday the House has a different plan that could include changes to Cruz's proposal, which passed the Senate Monday with a large bipartisan majority. "There's some good elements in the bill, but you saw there were some other problems that a number of our chairmen of the committees of jurisdiction in the House have with that bill, that would need to be fixed," Scalise said. "Look, we've got our own process. We want to make sure we get this right, because it's really important that we allow the schools to govern themselves." Without delving into specifics, the Louisiana lawmaker said that while there are "differences between the House and the Senate" versions of the legislation, "there's a path to get a final bill to the president's desk, which is what we ultimately want." |
