Rep. Williams Kicks off Congressional College Football Caucus

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Roger Williams (R – Austin) this morning held the Congressional College Football Caucus’ kickoff event. The caucus is chaired by Williams and Congresswoman Terri Sewell (D – Birmingham).

“I am proud to launch this bipartisan gathering of lawmakers who can set aside politics and unite behind their love of college football. We want to ensure great opportunities remain available for our student-athletes who may otherwise be unable to further their education.”

The Congressional College Football Caucus is a bipartisan gathering intended to promote the values and principles that are developed through playing football. Its goal is to educate lawmakers and the public on the vital role that college football plays in our country, while ensuring that the opportunities created by more than $5 billion in annual scholarships are preserved.

Williams is also chair of the Congressional Baseball Caucus and a coach for the Republican Congressional Baseball Team.
