Weekly Syllabus: College Sports Updates on Legislation and Player Movements

This week in college sports, key updates include the uncertain future of the Protect College Sports Act and discussions around College Football Playoff expansion.

The Protect College Sports Act, which is co-sponsored by Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell, remains in limbo as Congress is on recess. Concerns have been raised about its viability, with opposition noted from various congressional groups.

In playoff discussions, while models for expansion typically suggest 16 or 24 teams, a 20-team format has been mentioned but not formally discussed. Meanwhile, LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt has reported full health as he prepares for the upcoming season, and players are beginning to utilize new eligibility rules following a recent court ruling.
