Last month, senators Maria Cantwell and Ted Cruz drafted the Protect College Sports Act in an attempt to regulate college sports at the federal level. The bipartisan bill is the latest of many such attempts to standardize the constantly fluctuating college sports industry—none of which have yet been signed into law.

As of 2025, 38 states and the District of Columbia have legalized sports betting to some extent, whether through in-person or virtual avenues.
