Auburn athletics director John Cohen emphasized the necessity for the Power Four conferences to make "serious decisions" if the Protect College Sports Act fails to pass through the U.S. Senate. After two procedural votes, the bill received 77 votes in a recent Senate session, with 76 counting co-sponsors Sens. Chris Coons (R-Del.) and Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.).
However, the bill still needs to pass through the House, which won't convene until after the midterm elections. Cohen highlighted the potential need for self-governance within the SEC during an interview on The Paul Finebaum Show, stating that discussions are taking place regarding possible actions if the bill doesn't reach the House.
