AI Summary

This bill requires any company licensed to offer sports wagering, which is betting on the outcome of sporting events, to block access to this activity on the campuses of public colleges and universities in Tennessee. This restriction applies to both the main campus grounds and any sports venues used for college athletic events, even if they are not located on campus, and extends to any internet access provided by the institution. The bill defines "campus" broadly to include contiguous property and nearby facilities used for student housing or communal purposes, and "institution of higher education" as any public college or university that sponsors athletic events governed by a sports organization. The goal is to prevent students and others on college property from engaging in online sports betting through the university's networks.
