A bill for an act requiring reports to the general assembly regarding establishment of certain postsecondary student athletic programs and including effective date provisions.
This bill requires three Iowa institutions to submit feasibility reports by July 30, 2026, regarding specific athletic programs. Iowa State University and the University of Northern Iowa must analyze establishing men’s baseball and women’s wrestling programs, while Southwestern Community College must assess a men’s wrestling program. Each report must include implementation plans, timelines, cost analyses, and projected financial impacts - such as potential tuition increases from higher enrollment of student athletes. The bill does not create the programs but mandates these studies for the legislature’s review. It takes effect immediately upon enactment.
