house 04/07/2025 - 119th Congress
We are proposing the Protecting Student Athletes' Economic Freedom Act of 2025 to clarify that student athletes should not be classified as employees of their institutions, conferences, or associations based solely on their participation in intercollegiate sports. This legislation aims to maintain the student-athlete framework while allowing athletes to focus on both their education and athletic commitments without the complexities of employment status.
