Senator Ted Cruz of Texas is involved in negotiations regarding proposed legislation to regulate college sports. A key point of discussion is whether the legislation would create a "hard salary cap" to limit third-party payments that contribute to rising roster costs. The proposed cap is valued at $48 million.

However, not all parties are convinced that the language in the bill would effectively establish a hard cap. The SEC and Big Ten conferences are among those still holding out on the proposed legislation. Further details on the negotiations and the proposed legislation are available from ValleyCentral, a local news source in McAllen, Texas.
