Will the U.S. Senate pass the college sports 'NIL' bill before Aug 8?

Why: The supplied evidence contains no Senate roll-call record showing final passage. The official legislative page for S.4668 (Protect College Sports Act) shows its latest Senate action as a cloture motion on 2026-08-05 and lists the bill status as Introduced, with no entry showing ‘Passed’ or ‘Agreed to’. Contemporaneous reporting (The Hill, 2026-08-07) describes the bill as still holding up the Senate’s path to recess and Senate leaders seeking consent to move forward, i.e. the measure remained pending as of Aug. 7. Multiple news items in the pool report negotiations and sponsorship comments but do not report any recorded Senate roll-call with result “Passed” or “Agreed to” by the deadline. On the basis of the official bill status and same-day reporting in the provided evidence, the Senate had not recorded final passage of the NIL bill by 11:59 PM ET on August 7, 2026.
