A Senate bill aimed at regulating college sports has gained new support from the Big Ten and Southeastern Conferences. The conferences agreed to back the bill after negotiations and concessions on certain issues. The bill's chances of passing have improved with this new support.

It still needs 60 votes to move forward. Further details on the bill and its progress are available from KSAT 12, a local news source in San Antonio.
