Ted Cruz Gets 10-Minute College GameDay Interview Drowned Out by Booing in Austin

Summary
Austin fans booed Ted Cruz throughout a nearly 10-minute ESPN College GameDay appearance, making much of the Texas senator’s interview difficult to hear.
Cruz used the segment to promote the Protect College Sports Act of 2026 and said he thinks the bill can reach 60 Senate votes.
Chants of “Ted you suck” broke out on the Longhorns campus, where the reaction appeared tied more to Cruz’s politics and the setting than to the college sports bill itself.
The measure aims to stabilize the NIL landscape in college athletics and has drawn support from figures including Nick Saban and Deion Sanders, but it is still struggling in Congress.
