That would be the case again if a bill introduced this week in Congress becomes law. Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) and Rep. Tim Walberg (R-Mich.) have authored what they’re calling the Training and Education for Americans Members in University Sports and Athletics (TEAM USA) Act (H.R. 10351). The proposed legislation would amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 by limiting the number of international student-athletes on a college roster to a maximum of 20 percent. “American colleges and universities should first and foremost provide opportunities for American students,” said Walberg, chair of the House Committee on Education & Workforce, in a press release. Division I college golf rosters are set at around eight or nine players, meaning teams could carry essentially one international player if the bill were to become law. According to Walberg, since 2001, the number of international student-athletes receiving scholarships has nearly tripled, from approximately 8,945 to roughly 25,000. It’s unclear how much support this bill, which would look to go into effect during the 2029-30 academic year, has as Congress also wrestles with the Protect College Sports Act.
