Requests the Joint Committee on Government and Finance to study women's collegiate sports programs at West Virginia public universities, with a report due by January 1, 2027

Study areas include financial stability of non-revenue women's sports, effectiveness of endowment funds and public-private partnerships, and methods for cost savings that could support women's athletics

Examines how Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) regulations and potential revenue-sharing or "student-athlete employee" designations affect women's sports program viability

Responds to recent elimination of long-standing women's programs at West Virginia institutions due to "financial considerations"

Requires the committee to submit findings, conclusions, and draft legislation to the Governor, Senate President, and House Speaker for the 2027 legislative session
