West Virginia Senator Shelley Moore Capito joins Big 12 Today to discuss the Senate’s passage of the Protect College Sports Act. She credits Senators Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell with leading the effort and explains why she believes college athletics needs change to create a more competitive balance.
Capito also addresses opposition to the bill, which she says is largely regional, and discusses the Senate vote, the outlook for a House vote, and the President’s influence. She notes that if the bill doesn’t pass the House before the new Congress is sworn in on January 3, it would need to pass the Senate again.
She also reflects on her own experience as a college tennis player.
