I'd like to see it come out of the Senate with an overwhelming bipartisan vote because that would give it a lot of momentum in the House. I talked to President Trump last night about it. He's enthusiastic about the bill. I've been spending a lot of time talking to university presidents, athletic directors, coaches, talking to stakeholders who care desperately about it. And I think there are a lot of folks right now that are reaching out and urging senators, both Democrat and Republican, to get on board with this bipartisan bill. (04:33–04:46)
