The Southeastern and Big Ten conferences said the \u201cbill leaves critical issues unresolved,\u201d including not \u201cmeaningfully\u201d preempting state laws with a federal one, which has long been considered a key element for a measure to get support from the NCAA and the conferences. <\/p>\n

In an interview last week, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who drafted the bill with Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., told The Associated Press \u201cthe bill is drafted to preempt state laws that conflict with the provisions in this bill.\u201d<\/p>\n

The SEC-Big Ten statement came out less than 24 hours before a scheduled hearing about the bill in front of the Senate Commerce Committee. Cruz chairs the panel and Cantwell is the ranking Democrat.<\/p>\n

The legislation has received support from the Big 12 and Atlantic Coast Conferences, but the Big Ten and SEC, as the two richest leagues that also have decision-making power over the future of the College Football Playoff, hold the biggest cards.<\/p>\n

One of the bill\u2019s key provisions would give conferences an option to pool their media rights \u2014 an idea the Big Ten and SEC have long claimed would not result in a financial windfall that proponents suggest. The leagues\u2019 statement did not speak to that issue.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the Commerce Committee that Cruz chairs acknowledged the Big Ten-SEC position.<\/p>\n
