Protection of College Sports Act

H.R. 5076, the Protection of College Sports Act, would take Executive Order 14322—which addresses college sports revenue and athlete compensation—and make it federal law. In effect, the bill would give the policy directions contained in EO 14322 the force of statutory law, rather than leaving them solely as an executive directive. The bill does not add new policy details beyond codifying the EO; it simply elevates the executive order to the status of law. Because the text provided is limited to codification, the bill does not specify formulas for compensation, revenue sharing, enforcement mechanisms, or funding. Instead, it relies on EO 14322 for those policy details. If enacted, federal agencies would be bound to implement the policy as codified, and future administrations would need separate legislation to alter or repeal it.
