TEAM USA Act

This bill would change the Higher Education Act of 1965 so that colleges taking part in federal student aid programs must limit international student athletes to no more than 20 percent of each varsity team's official roster. For teams with fewer than 10 athletes, no more than 1 international student athlete would be allowed. Colleges would have to report each team's percentage of international student athletes every year to the Secretary of Education and their athletic association. An international student athlete is defined as a team member who is not a U.S. national or permanent resident, or who has received athletic-related pay or aid from a foreign Olympic or Paralympic committee. The rules would take effect July 1, 2029, starting with the 2029-2030 academic year.
