Mr. CASSIDY submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to the bill S. 4668, to protect the name, image, and likeness rights of, and provide protections for, student athletes and to promote fair competition among intercollegiate athletics, and for other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:
On page 13, strike lines 17 through 25 and insert the

(20) Student athlete.—
(A) In general.—The term “student athlete” means an
individual who is enrolled as a full-time student (as defined
in section 668.2 of title 34, Code of Federal Regulations (as
in effect on the day before the date of enactment of this
Act)) at an institution or is enrolled as a student at an
institution on less than a full-time basis as described in
subparagraph (B), and who—
(i) makes satisfactory academic progress (as determined in
accordance with section 668.34 of such title 34 (as in effect
on the day before the date of enactment of this Act)) toward
completing a degree; and
(ii) participates in intercollegiate athletic competition
or competes for a varsity sports team as part of the
institution's educational, developmental, or extracurricular
programs.
(B) Less than full-time enrollment.—A student is described
in this subparagraph if the student is enrolled at an
institution on less than a full-time basis due to—
(i) a disability;
(ii) practice with the United States Olympic team in
preparation for the Olympic games; or
(iii) a medical reason.
(C) Rule of construction.—Nothing in subparagraph (A)(i)
shall be construed to preclude an institution, conference, or

satisfactory academic progress standards for student athletes
that are more stringent than the requirements described in
such subparagraph.
