The House Resolution urges the Board of Regents to conduct a comprehensive study on the funding of collegiate athletic programs and the implications of name, image, and likeness (NIL) compensation and revenue sharing models on public postsecondary education institutions in Louisiana. This comes in light of the House v. NCAA settlement, which allows institutions to directly compensate student-athletes, thereby imposing new financial obligations and regulatory requirements on athletic departments. The resolution highlights the potential fiscal, operational, compliance, and student implications of these changes, particularly for institutions already facing financial challenges.

The study will involve consultations with public postsecondary education management boards and will examine various aspects, including current funding structures, projected fiscal impacts of revenue sharing, compliance costs, and the effects on non-revenue sports and Title IX compliance. The findings will be reported to the House Committee on Education and the House Committee on Appropriations by February 15, 2027, with the goal of ensuring the financial integrity and sustainability of Louisiana's postsecondary education institutions while preserving opportunities for student-athletes.
