SB 94 Ohio Senate · 136th Legislature (2025-2026)

Regards broadcasts of intercollegiate athletic competitions

SB 94 prohibits Ohio state universities from entering or renewing contracts that grant exclusive broadcasting rights for intercollegiate athletic events to a single streaming service. The bill directly affects state universities (as defined in Ohio law) and requires them to provide enrolled students with free access to these broadcasts. Key provisions include banning exclusive streaming contracts for new agreements after the bill's effective date and mandating that universities arrange no-cost student access to broadcasts covered by such contracts. The law does not change existing contracts but applies only to future agreements.
