SCORE Act pulled from House floor after CBC opposition

This week’s failed effort is the second time in less than a year the bill — which sought to grant the NCAA limited antitrust protections as it faces increasing legal challenges around issues such as eligibility — has failed to advance in the House amid criticism from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. The success, visibility, and cultural influence of major athletic conferences and institutions are inseparable from the talent, labor, leadership, and cultural contributions of Black communities,” the CBC said. President Trump had voiced support for the bill, and Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) told the president during a meeting earlier this year he believed his leadership had secured enough votes for its passage.
