SF 219: Relating to an intercollegiate basketball scheduling requirement for institutions of higher learning under the control of the state board of regents

What it does

This bill directs the state board of regents to require the regents universities and their athletic departments to schedule intercollegiate basketball games against each other at least once annually during the regular intercollegiate sports calendar, with each university arena hosting on an alternating basis. Failure to meet the scheduling requirement will result in a reduction in the amount appropriated to the board and allocated to the institution under the institution’s general university line item equivalent to the total amount paid by the institution’s athletic department to recruit teams with an appearance fee or revenue guarantee exchanged for travel to play in a game hosted by the institution and its athletic department.
