• Defines "intercollegiate sporting event" and "student athlete" to cover events under a national collegiate athletics association and any participant in those events.
• Treats violations as unfair or deceptive practices under the Federal Trade Commission Act and gives enforcement authority to the FTC.
• Contains congressional findings asserting interstate commerce impacts of sports betting and federal authority to regulate these bets.
• Does not provide new appropriations or specify an effective date in the provided text.
