Bill > HR168

This resolution urges and requests the Board of Regents to conduct a comprehensive study and analysis of how collegiate athletic programs are funded, specifically examining the effects of name, image, and likeness (NIL) compensation and revenue sharing models on public universities' athletic departments. This study is prompted by the settlement in the case of *House v. NCAA*, which began on July 1, 2025, and fundamentally changed college sports by allowing institutions to pay student-athletes for their NIL rights through revenue sharing. The resolution asks the Board of Regents to look at the financial, operational, compliance, and student-related impacts of these changes, including how they affect budgets, staffing, legal requirements, and the availability of opportunities for all student-athletes, and to report their findings and recommendations by February 15, 2027.
