The Restore College Sports Act would create a new American Collegiate Sports Association (ACSA) to replace the NCAA as the governing body for college athletics. The bill establishes that a commissioner, appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, would oversee the ACSA and enforce several new rules designed to reshape college sports. These rules require equal distribution of name, image, and likeness revenue among all student athletes at each school, allow athletes to transfer freely between institutions without penalty, limit coaching salaries to no more than 10 times a school's cost of attendance, and mandate equal sharing of all athletic revenue—including ticket sales, merchandise, and broadcast rights—among member institutions and their athletes. Additionally, the bill requires athletic conferences to consist only of schools within the same time zone to reduce travel disruption. Any institution of higher education must be an ACSA member and comply with these requirements to maintain federal education funding eligibility.
