The "Restore College Sports Act" establishes the American Collegiate Sports Association (ACSA) to replace the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) as the primary governing body for college sports, led by a Presidentially-appointed Commissioner. This new association mandates several key rules for its member institutions, including the equal distribution of all name, image, and likeness (NIL) revenue and general athletic program revenue among all student-athletes and member institutions. Student-athletes would gain the right to transfer freely between member institutions without penalty, while coach salaries would be capped at ten times the full cost of attendance. Furthermore, athletic conferences would be restructured to include institutions solely within the same time zone to reduce travel and academic disruption, with compliance being a prerequisite for federal student aid eligibility.
