WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Wednesday, June 10, Chairman Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Ranking Member Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) will host a roundtable with coaches, student athletes, and university presidents to discuss the Protect College Sports Act, introduced earlier this month by Chairman Cruz, Ranking Member Cantwell, and Senators Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) and Chris Coons (D-Del.). The University of Akron's women's soccer goalkeeper and incoming president of the Conference’s Council of Student-Athletes (COSA), Sara Bower, will speak at the roundtable as a representative of the NA FBS Conferences. 

The discussion will focus on the unique effects of instability, litigation, and financial pressure on student-athletes, women’s and Olympic sports, HBCUs, and first-generation college students and schools outside the wealthiest tier.
