Summary

Existing law, known as the Student Athlete Bill of Rights, requires intercollegiate athletic programs at 4-year private universities or campuses of the University of California or the California State University that receive, as an average, $10,000,000 or more in annual revenue derived from media rights for intercollegiate athletics to comply with prescribed requirements relating to student athlete rights. Existing law requires these institutions to rely exclusively on revenue derived from media rights for intercollegiate athletics to defray certain costs accrued under the Student Athlete Bill of Rights. Existing law defines "student athlete" for purposes of the Student Athlete Bill of Rights. Existing law provides for a scholarship to be provided by the institution to an injured student athlete for up to 5 academic years. This bill would instead require intercollegiate athletic programs at private postsecondary educational institutions, independent institutions of higher education, or campuses of the University of California or the California State University that provide athletic scholarships for college student athletes to comply with the prescribed requirements. The bill would rename the Student Athlete Bill of Rights as the College Student Athlete Bill of Rights and would redesignate "student athlete" as "college student athlete" for purposes of the College Student Athlete Bill of Rights. The bill would delete the provisions requiring an institution to exclusively use revenue from media rights for intercollegiate athletics to defray certain costs accrued under the College Student Athlete Bill of Rights. The bill would require a scholarship to be provided to an injured college student athlete for one additional academic year beyond the 5-year limit upon showing of cause for need. The bill would require the provision of an equivalent scholarship to an athletic scholarship to a college student athlete who has exhausted his or her athletic eligibility under certain circumstances. The bill would exempt, from certain of these requirements, institutions that receive, as an average over the most recent 3-year period, less than $10,000,000 in annual revenue as reported pursuant to federal law. The bill would require an institution of higher education to provide each of its college student athletes with a copy of their rights established under the College Student Athlete Bill of Rights and designate an individual at the institution to receive complaints from college student athletes for violations of the College Student Athlete Bill of Rights. The bill would establish a process by which a suspected violation of a college student athlete's rights under the College Student Athlete Bill of Rights can be investigated and remedied.
