H.R. 10090 is a bill introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on August 13, 2026, by Rep. Hageman and Rep. Biggs. It would add a 10% excise tax on private colleges and universities that allow male athletes to compete in female intercollegiate sports. The tax would be based on the school's total spending on all athletic programs. Schools could not pass the cost on to students through higher tuition or fees.
Private colleges in Houston could face a new federal tax affecting their athletic budgets if this bill passes. That could change how local schools manage sports programs and funding.
