The purpose of this section is to provide additional revenue for institutions to fund all sports, including Olympic sports and women’s sports, and to discourage institutions from raising tuition or fees on students to pay for the varsity intercollegiate sports programs of those institutions. No athletic association or conference shall prohibit an institution or conference from obtaining sponsorship for a single jersey or uniform patch for any sport, if any institution deriving or obtaining revenue from the patch, either individually or through a conference, provides, at a minimum, the same number of roster spots and scholarships for student athletes in non-revenue-generating and women’s varsity intercollegiate sports as the institution provided during the 2023–2024 academic year.
