House vote on NIL regulation act canceled despite Trump's backing as some Republicans still not on board

The SCORE Act vote to bring the bill to the floor was canceled in the 2 p.m. hour, despite earlier progress.
Three Republicans—Byron Donalds, Scott Perry, and Chip Roy—voted with Democrats not to bring the act to the floor.
The White House supported the SCORE Act as a crucial step to stabilize college sports and protect athletes.
The act would offer the NCAA a limited antitrust exemption and bar using student fees to fund NIL payments, according to the White House.
Democrats have largely opposed the bill, urging members to vote no, while Republicans showed mixed support.
The White House comment highlighted that college sports influence scholarships, Olympic success, and local economies.
The act would create a framework to regulate NIL deals and protect athletes from certain employment issues.
The report notes the act's focus on safeguarding student-athletes amid legal and financial uncertainty in college sports.
Fox News reported that the act aimed to shield athletes while critics raised concerns over labor and antitrust implications.
The act's fate underscores ongoing partisan debates over federal role in college athletics and NIL governance.
