President Donald Trump on Thursday broke his silence over competing bills that would implement major changes to college sports, backing a bipartisan Senate measure and calling for the House and Senate to come together and send him legislation to sign this summer.
In a social media post, Trump backed the Senate’s bill, primarily drafted by Commerce Committee Chairman Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and ranking Democrat Maria Cantwell of Washington. Missouri GOP Sen. Eric Schmitt and Delaware Democratic Sen. Chris Coons were original co-sponsors.
