SB 2292 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Education, Higher - As enacted, prohibits, until July 1, 2033, public disclosure of certain commercial contracts entered into in furtherance of an intercollegiate athletics program; extends the prohibition on public disclosure of certain records containing information relating to game or player integrity beyond July 1, 2026; clarifies that protecting certain intercollegiate athletics program records from disclosure does not create any private right of action or basis for any injunctive or equitable relief, except for certain claims made by a business. - Amends TCA Title 49, Chapter 7, Part 1.

SB 2292 would protect certain college sports program records from public disclosure in Tennessee. It specifically shields commercial contracts related to intercollegiate athletics (like sponsorships or facility deals) and records about game/player integrity that could harm a school's competitive edge if revealed. These confidentiality rules would expire for contracts on July 1, 2033, while the existing protection for game integrity records would extend beyond July 2026. The bill also clarifies that this confidentiality does not allow private lawsuits - except for businesses claiming disclosure would undermine their economic advantage. The bill applies to all public universities in Tennessee.
