Student-athlete Protections and Opportunities through Rights, Transparency, and Safety Act

This bill protects student athletes' ability to sign name, image, and likeness (NIL) agreements with outside companies (like endorsement deals) without school restrictions, requiring such agreements to be in writing with clear terms like compensation and duration. It mandates colleges to disclose anonymized NIL agreement data to create a public database for estimating fair market values, while requiring institutions to provide NIL education, career training, and financial literacy resources. Schools must maintain scholarships regardless of athletic performance or injury and cover sports-related medical costs for four years after graduation. The bill preempts conflicting state laws and clarifies student athletes are not employees of their schools.
