Bill in Congress Would Prevent Schools From Using Student Fees to Bankroll College Sports
UNITED STATES, JUL 10 – The SCORE Act aims to resolve legal disputes by granting the NCAA and a Collegiate Sports Commission authority and protection from antitrust and state lawsuits, lawmakers said.
- A bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced the SCORE Act in the House on July 10, 2025, to establish national rules for college sports.
- The bill responds to the evolving NIL landscape and includes antitrust protections, pre-empts state laws, and bars using student fees to fund athletics.
- The bill allows NCAA to set operational rules affecting schools and athletes, and student athletes can hire agents but are not deemed employees.
- Supporters, including SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey, cite the bill as providing clarity and stability while Clemson and Fresno State have recently increased student athletic fees.
- The bill has a fair chance in the House but faces slim Senate prospects and aims to protect student-athletes, schools, and conferences amid historic changes.
