Protection of College Sports Act

This bill would turn an existing executive order about college sports revenue and athlete pay into federal law. In short, it says the executive order on college sports revenue and athlete compensation (Executive Order 14322) must be treated as law, not just an order from the President.

What this means for people and schools: the rules set in that executive order would become permanent unless changed by Congress later. Colleges, student-athletes, and sports programs would need to follow those rules once the bill takes effect.

• Who is affected: student-athletes, colleges, and college sports programs
• What changes: the executive order on college sports revenue and athlete pay would have the full force of law
• When: it would apply after the bill is enacted into law
