While Ted Cruz didn’t receive the warmest welcome Saturday in Austin, he did offer an update on the Protect College Sports Act.

The Texas senator made an appearance on ESPN’s “College GameDay” to speak about the bill ahead of Saturday’s Texas-Ohio State matchup. When asked about the bill’s chances of becoming a law, Cruz said his confidence level is “very, very high.”

“We are scheduled to vote on the bill this coming week. It is the second vote that is scheduled this coming week and the question is, where are the senators going to vote?” Cruz said.

Cruz, clad in a burnt orange blazer, was consistently booed by the crowd throughout his nine-minute interview with ESPN’s Rece Davis.

For the bill to continue advancing, Cruz said it would need to receive 60 votes in the Senate. If it doesn’t receive the 60 votes, everything stops. The Protect College Sports Act was initially introduced by Cruz and Senator Maria Cantwell, D-Wash. The bill’s main objectives include regulating NIL payments and setting clear transfer rules for athletes competing at the collegiate level.

Cruz touted the number of supporters the bill has picked up since it was introduced earlier this year.

“To get 60 votes, we’ve got a big bipartisan coalition behind it,” Cruz said. “This bill is endorsed by 24 conferences. It’s endorsed by 370 different colleges and universities. It’s endorsed by the historically Black colleges and universities. It’s endorsed by the NFL, the NBA, Major League Baseball, National Hockey League. It’s endorsed by the NBA Players’ Association and the NFL Players’ Association. It’s endorsed by the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee, and it’s also endorsed by over 100 prominent coaches.”

The bill has faced some opposition since it was first introduced, most notably from Senator Chris Murphy, D-Conn. In a statement he released in May, Murphy said the bill “seems to limit the compensation of athletes while protecting the huge salaries of all the adults – coaches, ADs, sports industry executives – who are getting rich off the performance of the players.”

He also expressed some concerns over the antitrust exemption the NCAA would receive if the bill becomes law.

According to Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger, dueling news conferences between the bill’s supporters and opposition are planned for Monday. A group led by Murphy will speak to media members at noon ET Monday, while the other group led by Cruz will speak at 4 p.m. ET.
