Ted Cruz booed on ‘College GameDay’ while promoting Protect College Sports Act

Texas fans erupted in chants of "Ted Cruz sucks!" during Saturday's appearance on ESPN's "College GameDay" panel, as the U.S. Senator from Texas promoted the Protect College Sports Act. Cruz, known for his strong support of the bill, defended its merits against the boos and chants, arguing that the transfer portal system needs to be reformed.

He explained that the bill would bring order to chaos by limiting players to just five years of eligibility and allowing one free transfer. Cruz also emphasized the bill's potential to save college sports programs from financial ruin, as well as the need to protect players' rights to compensation for their name, image, and likeness.
