You're locked in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
On Capitol Hill, college athletics just got a little closer to a major overhaul. The Senate voted seventy-four to twenty-four Tuesday to advance the Protect College Sports Act, clearing a significant procedural hurdle. That kind of bipartisan momentum signals this legislation has real legs, and the college sports world is watching every move closely.
Meanwhile in Oklahoma, Brent Venables is staying put and getting paid. The OU Board of Regents officially signed off on a six-year, sixty-three million dollar extension for the Sooners head coach, locking him in at roughly ten and a half million per year. After a rocky stretch in Norman, the university is making a loud statement that they believe Venables is their guy going forward.
And in Baltimore, the Ravens got some tough injury news out of training camp. Rookie wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane is headed for wrist surgery after suffering a fracture, with reports suggesting he could go under the knife as early as Wednesday. The timetable puts him out nearly a month, which stings for a young receiver who was turning heads all summer long.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
