HF 2039: Relating to certain athletic competitions between institutions of higher education governed by the state board of regents

What it does

This bill relates to certain athletic competitions between regents institutions. The bill requires an institution that participates in intercollegiate athletics sanctioned by the national collegiate athletics association (NCAA) to schedule games against each other institution of higher education under the board’s control that participates in intercollegiate athletics sanctioned by the NCAA at least one time each year in each sport the NCAA sanctions and that both institutions participate. The bill requires an institution to prioritize competitions against private in-state colleges and universities over competitions against out-of-state colleges and universities when making schedules or making contractual obligations that affect schedules for the institution’s NCAA athletics if both the institution and in-state college or university compete in the same NCAA division.
