If passed, the TEAM USA Act could limit opportunities for international student-athletes, potentially affecting the diversity and competitiveness of collegiate sports teams. Domestic athletes may see increased opportunities, but critics argue that the bill could undermine the merit-based system and fail to address the root causes of underrepresentation. Additionally, the U.S. Olympic performance, which has remained strong, may not see significant improvement as a result of these changes. The legislation could also strain relationships with international partners and athletes.
