Y'all remember that CR you gave @RepThomasMassie total hell for voting NO on? That's the bill that continued funding to those Learing Centers
@RepThomasMassie @SpeakerJohnson @LeaderJohnThune Actual funding (appropriations) for CCDF comes from annual appropriations bills, such as the Consolidated Appropriations Act or Labor-HHS-Education appropriations.

An absolute crisis. Congress NEEDS to act. For months, I’ve been working night & day to try to bring Republicans and Democrats together to save college sports. If we fail to do so, it will be an utter tragedy. And it’s happening right before our eyes.
