CLEMSON — Four ACC Schools asked Congress to amend the Protect College Sports Act (PCSA), according to a report from an independent Florida State Website.

The article, written by Tom Hawk Nation’s Jon Loesche, indicates Clemson was one of those four schools asking for change to the bill’s realignment rules. After the bill was passed by the U.S. Senate last week, the leaders at Florida State, Miami, Clemson and North Carolina sent a letter to House leadership earlier this week requesting changes to the bill’s realignment rules.

The Clemson Insider confirmed, through sourcing, on Saturday morning that Clemson University did sign the letter that was sent to the House. The four schools are clearly working as a group to have the language changed on this part of the bill. This potential amendment, however, could uphold the bill’s passage through the House and being signed into law.

This has not gone over well to many on Capital Hill or at the White House.

In its current form, the PCSA caps power conferences at 20 members and requires any school moving from one power conference to another to spend three years as an independent before joining its new league. That waiting period would expire six years after the law takes effect.

The four ACC schools are not making friends in Congress or even at the White House. President Donald Trump is encouraging the passage of the bill. New York Yankees president Randy Levine, who Trump appointed to lead the college sports congressional effort, is fired up, according to Yahoo Sports.

“What’s very disturbing to me,” Levine said, “is that we have this amazing bipartisan bill which got 77 votes in the US Senate, where the Moody amendment was passed, and yet, principally Miami and Florida State continue to try and undermine the bill, which even they say is great for the game, over the fact that they want to blow up the ACC when the Big Ten and SEC have told me as recently as today that neither has any plans to expand.

“The civil war in the ACC, which has been going on for a while, should not be a reason to derail this bill, which solves college sports’ problems, including theirs,” he finished.
