Kiley Holds Hearing on Private Equity's Role in the Commercialization of American Youth Sports

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 14:15:00 GMT

Today, Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary Education Subcommittee Chairman Kevin Kiley (I-CA) delivered the following statement, as prepared for delivery, at a hearing titled "Field of Fees: Private Equity’s Role in the Commercialization of American Youth Sports":

"As this Subcommittee discussed last December, youth sports remain one of the best investments we can make in the next generation. They help children develop physical health, mental resilience, discipline, and essential life skills.

"There is encouraging news. New data from Project Play shows youth sports participation has rebounded from COVID-era lows, with 58 percent of children now playing sports. While that represents meaningful progress, too many families still face unnecessary barriers to participation.

"Over the past decade youth sports have become increasingly commercialized. What was once an experience made possible through local leagues, volunteer coaches, and community recreation has, in many places, evolved into a business model that asks families to spend more every year. Average family spending on a child’s primary sport increased 46 percent between 2019 and 2024 and is likely even higher today.

"Recent investigative reporting has highlighted certain practices that deserve closer examination. In some markets, consolidation is driving up costs for families while limiting access to more affordable, community-based options. In many cases, families face a “pay more or quit” dynamic if they want their children to continue playing.

"Some operators have used strategies that prioritize revenue over participation. Families report higher fees, mandatory add-on costs, stay-to-play requirements that force them to book hotels and lodging through affiliated partners, vertical integration that requires participation in the same operator’s leagues, tournaments, camps, and streaming services. These practices can limit consumer choice while making youth sports more expensive.

"The consequences are clear: a widening participation gap. In 2012, there was a 13.6 percentage point difference in regular sports participation between children from homes earning under $25,000 and those from homes earning $100,000 or more. By 2024, that gap had grown to 20.2 percentage points.

"Too many children are being priced out. It’s not that they lack talent or determination. It’s that their families simply cannot afford the rising costs.

"Parents recognize this trend. A recent survey found that 73 percent believe youth sports have lost sight of the core mission of fostering fun and developing teamwork, while 61 percent believe organizations now put profits ahead of that mission. At the same time too many young athletes are led to believe that sports only matter if they results in a college scholarship or professional career. That, of course, misses their true value: healthier kids and stronger families.

"It is important to recognize that commercialization itself is not the problem. Private investment has helped address real gaps created by declining local investment in parks and recreation. Many responsible operators have expanded access, improved facilities, and created more opportunities for young athletes. Capital, when invested responsibly, can broaden access and participation.

"Our concern is with particular practices that reduce competition, drive up costs, and limit access for families. Simply put, we should encourage models that expand opportunity while discouraging practices that leave parents with fewer choices and higher bills.

"Today’s hearing will examine both sides of this dynamic. We will hear about practices that have driven up costs and reduced access to affordable, community-based options. We will also hear about successful examples involving private investment, traditional nonprofits, and community-based models that are expanding participation while keeping costs manageable. I look forward to the testimony of our witnesses and to a constructive discussion about how youth sports can remain affordable, accessible, and focused on what matters most: giving every child the opportunity to play."

Chair Walberg on Trump Naming Sonderling to Head Department of Labor

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 13:40:00 GMT

Education and Workforce Committee Chairman Tim Walberg (R-MI) issued the following statement in support of President Trump’s announcement that he will nominate Acting Secretary of Labor Keith Sonderling to serve as Secretary of Labor:

"President Trump picked the right person for the job. Keith Sonderling has shown he understands what it takes to support American workers, create jobs, and get government out of the way. Keith knows that when American workers and job creators succeed, our country succeeds. His experience leading the Department of Labor and advancing President Trump's America First agenda makes him the right person to expand opportunity for hardworking families, support job creators, and ensure workers—not Washington bureaucrats—come first.

"As our nation prepares to celebrate 250 years of freedom, I look forward to working with Keith Sonderling to keep the American Dream within reach for the next 250."

Walberg Celebrates SCOTUS Ruling on Protecting Women’s Sports

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Today, Education and Workforce Committee Chairman Tim Walberg (R-MI) issued the following statement applauding the Supreme Court’s decision protecting women’s sports:

“Women’s sports are for women. Unfortunately, radical gender ideology bolstered by policies pushed under the Biden-Harris administration chipped away at Title IX protections. As a result, the very female athletes the law was meant to empower were sidelined in the name of ‘equality.’ I’m grateful these Justices rejected the political rhetoric and stood up for fairness, common sense, and the integrity of women's sports. Committee Republicans will always stand with women athletes and their fight for a level playing field.”

Background
On January 14, 2025, House Republicans passed H.R. 28, Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025, which amends Title IX to protect the law’s intent and the integrity of women’s athletics.

On July 11, 2024, the House passed H.J. Res. 165, a Congressional Review Act resolution to nullify the Biden-Harris administration’s Title IX rule.

Chairman Walberg: Final Rule Ensures Higher Education Delivers Value

Mon, 29 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Education and Workforce Committee Chairman Tim Walberg (R-MI) released the following statement after the Department of Education announced its final rule implementing the accountability provisions of the Working Families Tax Cuts (WFTC):

"Today's final rule delivers on one of the most significant higher education accountability reforms in a generation. For too long, taxpayer dollars flowed to programs that left too many students worse off financially than if they had never enrolled in the first place. That is unacceptable for students, families, and taxpayers.

"Unlike the Biden-Harris administration, which targeted institutions based on tax status, this final rule holds every program to the same common-sense standard: whether graduates earn more because of the education they received.

"Higher education should open doors to opportunity, not leave students worse off than when they started. This rule helps ensure taxpayer dollars support programs that put students on a path to success."

BACKGROUND
The Committee’s policies included in the Working Families Tax Cuts saved $284 billion. Included in these savings are reforms to ensure higher education delivers value.

Hundreds of billions of taxpayer funds flow to postsecondary education every year, and many degrees provide little value while leaving graduates with enormous debt. The WFTC ensures colleges have a stake in students’ success with a “do no harm” measure of postgraduate earnings. The legislation:

Prohibits student loans from paying for undergraduate programs in which most graduates make less than the average student with a high school diploma in the same state.
Prohibits student loans from paying for graduate programs in which most graduates make less than the average student with a bachelor’s degree in the same field of study and state.
Removes loan eligibility from a program if it fails to meet the earnings standard for two years in a three-year period.

Following the markup, Education and Workforce Committee Chairman Tim Walberg (R-MI) said: "The bills approved today tackle real challenges facing students, workers, job creators, and taxpayers. Whether addressing antisemitism on campus, improving federal programs, lowering barriers to employment, or helping us better understand how AI is changing the workplace, these bills focus on solving problems and delivering results. Simply put, they strengthen accountability, expand opportunity, and help restore trust in our institutions."

H.R. 8476, No Antisemitism in Education Act of 2026, authored by Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL):

Increases transparency and accountability in Title VI investigations by establishing minimum standards and requiring congressional briefings.

H.R. 2555, Freedom of Association in Higher Education Act of 2026, authored by Rep. Erin Houchin (R-IN):

Protects students' ability to form and join single-sex organizations and prohibits colleges from discriminating against those organizations.

H.R. 5505, Equal Campus Access Act of 2026, authored by Chairman Tim Walberg (R-MI):

Requires public colleges receiving federal student aid to treat religious student organizations equally to other student groups and protects their access to campus facilities and recognition.

H.R. 2332, States Handling Access to Reciprocity for Employment (SHARE) Act of 2026, authored by Rep. Tracey Mann (R-KS):

Improves interstate licensure compacts by ensuring state licensing boards can obtain the federal background-check information necessary to process compact-based licenses and practice privileges.

H.R. 4122, Health Care for Energy Workers Act of 2026, authored by Rep. Rick Allen (R-GA) and Rep. Lucy McBath (D-GA):

Chair Walberg Delivers Remarks at Markup to Combat Antisemitism, Protect Student Freedoms, Support Workers, and Increase Health Care Transparency

Thu, 25 Jun 2026 14:15:00 GMT

Today, Education and Workforce Committee Chairman Tim Walberg (R-MI) delivered the following statement, as prepared for delivery, at a markup of 11 bills:

"Today we’ll mark up 11 bills that address antisemitism in educational institutions, protect college students’ freedom of association, help licensed professional work across state lines, strengthen oversight of federal workers’ compensation programs, expand workforce data collection, and increase transparency in health care costs.

"The first three bills we’ll consider address the ongoing problem of antisemitism within education and the harassment of Jewish students and faculty.

"First, we’ll consider H.R. 8476, No Antisemitism in Education Act of 2026 introduced by Rep. Randy Fine. Since October 7, 2023, antisemitism has exploded at educational institutions. H.R. 8476 requires any K-12 school district or institution of higher education that receives federal funding to treat antisemitism with the same rigor applied to other forms of discrimination prohibited by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. We have all heard the excuses from college presidents and school district superintendents for why they can’t put a stop to the horrific incidents of antisemitism happening in their classrooms, yet we all know that if similar incidents were happening to other protected classes under Title VI, no excuses would be acceptable.

"Next, we’ll consider H.R. 4795, Protect Economic and Academic Freedom Act, introduced by Rep. Virginia Foxx. Israel remains one of America’s strongest allies, yet it continues to be singled out for discriminatory boycott campaigns targeting Israel or Israel-related individuals, organizations, and businesses on college campuses. These economic boycotts are often promoted by those creating antisemitic atmospheres on campus and do nothing to help students learn. H.R. 4795 ensures federal funds do not support universities that allow such boycotts.

"The third bill we’ll consider is H.R. 9203, Student Protection and University Accountability Act, introduced by Rep. Elise Stefanik. H.R. 9203 amends the Higher Education Act to require greater transparency regarding procedures for investigating alleged Title VI violations, establishes minimum standards for those procedures, and requires congressional briefings on Title VI investigations. H.R. 9203 also helps ensure that investigations are not dismissed for dubious reasons as was the case under the Biden-Harris administration.

"The Committee will then consider two bills that protect students’ freedom of association on college campuses.

"Introduced by Rep. Erin Houchin, H.R. 2555, Freedom of Association in Higher Education Act of 2025, protects students’ ability to form and join single-sex organizations. The bill would also prohibit colleges and universities from taking action against a student or student organization because that organization is single-sex.

"My bill, H.R. 5505, Equal Campus Access Act of 2025, requires public colleges that receive federal student aid to treat religious student groups equally to any other student organization on campus. This bill ensures religious student organizations maintain full access to campus facilities and official recognition regardless of their beliefs, practices, speech, leadership standards, or standards of conduct.

"Next, the Committee will mark up Rep. Tracey Mann’s H.R. 2332, States Handling Access to Reciprocity for Employment Act of 2025, or SHARE Act. This bill helps interstate licensure compacts work more smoothly by ensuring that state licensing boards can obtain the federal background-check information necessary to process compact-based licenses or practice privileges. By improving compact operations, the bill will help fill critical labor gaps, largely in health care occupations.

"We will also consider H.R. 4122, Health Care for Energy Workers Act of 2025, introduced by Representative Rick Allen, Chairman of the HELP Subcommittee, and Representative Lucy McBath. The bill allows nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs) to order care for current and former Department of Energy workers receiving care under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act, improving access to care while requiring NPs and PAs to act within their scope of practice under state law.

"Next are two bills related to the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act program—H.R. 8822, Federal Workers’ Compensation Integrity and Care Act, and H.R. 8823, Putting Patients First by Strengthening Provider Accountability in FECA Act, both bills were introduced by Representative Ryan Mackenzie, Chairman of the Workforce Protections Subcommittee.

"H.R. 8822 allows the Secretary of Labor to obtain earnings and employment information from the Social Security Administration and the Department of Health and Human Services to help detect and prevent improper payments under the program.

"H.R. 8823 allows the Labor Secretary to suspend FECA program payments to medical providers convicted of fraud involving FECA, related state programs or other federal health care benefit programs, strengthening accountability and program integrity.

"Next is my bill, H.R. 9381, AI Workforce Assessment and Research Enhancement (AWARE) Act. This bill directs the Bureau of Labor Statistics to collect information on the use of AI in workplaces across the country. The data collected will help policymakers better understand how AI is affecting workers, jobs, and students.

"Finally, we will consider H.R. 9228, Health Data Access, Transparency, and Affordability Act of 2026. This bill amends the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, or ERISA, to protect employer health plans’ access to critical cost, quality, and claims information. The bill gives employer health plants the right to access this information and holds network service providers accountable when they block that access. Giving employers access to this data will help them design better benefits, identify waste, improve care, and control costs.

"I thank the Members who have worked diligently on these measures, and I look forward to hearing from them throughout this markup."

Hearing Recap: "Workforce Rewired: Modern Apprenticeships for a Modern Economy"

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 20:30:00 GMT

Today, the Subcommittee on Higher Education and Workforce Development held a hearing to examine how apprenticeships are a workforce solution that benefits both workers and employers.

Subcommittee Chairman Burgess Owens (R-UT) started the hearing by discussing how Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the skills needed to be successful in nearly every sector of the economy.

“Researchers estimate that 40 percent of the skills required for today’s jobs will change over the next decade. That reality presents a challenge not only for workers, but also for employers who need talent that’s able to adapt to changing business needs... In today's economy, workers increasingly need opportunities to upskill, reskill, and acquire new competencies as they work. The rapid adoption of artificial intelligence is only making that need clearer,” he said.

Rep. Bob Onder (R-MO) discussed with Ms. Natasha Sherwood, Director of Chapter & Workforce Development at Independent Electrical Contractors, how over-regulation has limited apprenticeship opportunities.

“Restrictive ratio requirements keep us from putting enough apprentices on the jobs, and Project Labor agreements limit participation…We also have groups…facing needs tests, [some states] are saying there is not a need. We just heard we need a million apprentices and 80,000 electricians, so I think there is a need…,” she said.

Witnesses explained how apprenticeship programs help businesses fill open jobs by creating a pipeline where employers can develop and better prepare their future workforce.

“Across industries—from construction to manufacturing to transportation—the shortage of technicians has reached critical levels. In the auto body repair sector specifically, the challenge is urgent…Right now, the industry is on track to fill less than 32,000 of those open positions. Put another way, for every 100 open jobs, we’ll only fill 42,” said Ms. Jamie Angell, Senior Director of Apprenticeships and Transitional Programs at Caliber.

Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-WI) highlighted how apprenticeships help individuals build successful careers, without student debt.

“We have to find a way…to make sure people understand the most secure way for a career and the way to make the most money is to get involved in skills-based education…there are so many people very quickly making six-figures without debt,” he said.

In an exchange with Rep. Mark Harris (R-NC), Mr. Joe Ross, President at Reach University, echoed this point.

“Higher ed has had 50 plus years of living with the assumption that there is unlimited debt without underwriting—and that’s created a skyrocketing cost of higher education. We really addressed this first by making a commitment that no one would pay out of pocket more than $75 a month,” said Mr. Ross.

Democrats tried to blame the Trump administration for a lack of apprenticeship programs, even though the Department of Labor (DOL) has been investing heavily in expanding apprenticeships.

Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR) asked the Democrat-invited witness whether staff cuts to the DOL would impact the administration’s goal of approving more apprenticeship programs in a shorter timeline.

“I think actually that part of the process is not the challenge in the system…the approval processes are fairly quick,” said Mr. John Ladd, Senior Advisor at the Center for Apprenticeship & Work-Based Learning, Jobs of the Future.

The Trump administration is cutting bureaucracy and creating more opportunities for workers to earn while they learn.

Bottom line: Apprenticeships open doors to careers, strengthen businesses, and grow the economy. Republicans are working to protect and expand these critical pathways to opportunity.
