Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to Bill HB 469 clarifies the required competition for high-enrollment colleges in North Carolina. Specifically, it now specifies the number of games in both low-game and high-game count sports that these institutions must play against each other each academic year. This change is important because it ensures that schools maintain a minimum level of competitive engagement, which can enhance student experiences and strengthen rivalries within the University of North Carolina system.
