Bill Summary · SR 37

Legislative bill overview

Senate Resolution 37 is a commemorative resolution honoring The Ohio State University spirit team for winning the 2025 UCA & UDA College Cheerleading and Dance Team National championship. The resolution recognizes their achievement and celebrates their accomplishment at the national competition level.

Why is this important

While ceremonial in nature, such resolutions serve to officially recognize outstanding athletic achievements by state institutions and their student-athletes, which can boost institutional pride and community morale. These resolutions also create an official legislative record acknowledging excellence in areas beyond traditional revenue sports.

Potential points of contention

  • Limited legislative substance – This is a non-binding ceremonial measure that does not allocate resources or change policy, making it primarily symbolic rather than substantive
  • Selective recognition – Honors only one team's achievement, which may raise questions about why other state university athletic accomplishments do not receive similar recognition
  • Use of legislative time – Some may question whether state legislative bodies should dedicate floor time to ceremonial resolutions rather than policy matters affecting state governance
