What was being voted on
119-SAMDT-6835 — To establish certain standards with respect to coaches of varsity sports teams.
This amendment would add new sections to the bill regarding transfer protections and compensation for coaches. It would allow a coach to transfer from one four-year institution to another once without losing or delaying eligibility to coach intercollegiate sports. A coach could transfer a second time with a loss of eligibility during the first academic year following the transfer, unless the transfer is due to the discontinuation of a sport the individual coaches or due to sexual assault or harassment by an individual associated with the current institution.
