Establishes a fund to support public institutions' athletic programs and recruiting expenses.
The bill creates the "public institution athletic program fund" to support public institutions' athletic programs. The Tennessee Higher Education Commission administers the fund, which receives fees from vendors and may accept gifts or grants. The fund supports recruiting expenses, transportation, and other related costs. The commission prioritizes grants for smaller public institutions and must report annually on fund administration. The fund's balance cannot revert to the general fund and must be carried forward.
