House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) came out today in opposition of the Protect College Sports Act, telling Politico’s Meredith Lee Hill that while he appreciated the work that went into the bill, there are still “big problems” in the House as it relates to the Senate legislation – including the employment status of student-athletes. “Nobody can credibly say they’re going to move a bill to address college athletics and have opposition from the two major college athletic conferences. I’m glad they’re doing some work on the Senate side, but for the House to be able to take anything up, you got to prevent employment status of the student-athletes. You also don’t want to open up all the schools to lawsuits from trial lawyers that would make a much more litigious environment. Those are things that have been big problems on the House side.”
