Congresswoman Lori Trahan (D-MA), who played D-I volleyball at Georgetown, released the following statement on the SCORE Act. One of the consistent themes among those in opposition was how it capped players, but coaches (specifically football) still received huge buyouts.

Only Denver vs. Western Michigan is still to be decided. Seeds might change, but as you'll see below, locations should not.
The committee could choose to make some changes, but I see no reason why they should.

Wisconsin is 2-8.
If you go by their xG on a per-game basis, they'd be 8-2.
So, I maintain what I've been saying for a month. I'm not worried about Wisconsin. They're playing OK. They need to get over the hump.
-12 goal differential. xG differential is +9.8.
