COLLEGIATE ATHLETICS – States findings of the Legislature and urges the United States House of Representatives and Senate to take immediate federal action to restore clarity, consistency, and stability to intercollegiate athletics.
SJM 114 is a joint memorial from Idaho's legislature urging Congress to pass federal legislation creating a consistent national framework for college athletics. It specifically requests a single national standard for name, image, and likeness (NIL) compensation, student-athlete employment rules, and protections for women's and Olympic sports to prevent program cuts. The resolution highlights Idaho's economic reliance on college athletics - citing Boise State University's $350 million annual economic impact - and argues that current regulatory uncertainty threatens public universities and state investments. This procedural resolution does not create law but calls for federal action to restore stability in college sports governance.
