• Prohibits males from participating on athletic teams or competitions designated exclusively for females, with private causes of action available for affected participants to seek injunctive relief, damages, and attorney's fees.

• Allows intercollegiate athletes to earn compensation from their name, image, or likeness without losing scholarship eligibility, and prohibits athletic associations like the NCAA from preventing such compensation or penalizing institutions that allow it.
