HBCU athlete Kedrick Green rallied support for the Protect College Sports Act in Washington, joining a press conference alongside other NCAA student-athletes. The legislation aims to secure future opportunities for student athletes and provide them with a fair chance. Green, speaking from Howard University, emphasized that student-athletes deserve security and fairness.
