Sec. 180. Service academy athletic programs: review board

    (a) Independent Review Board.--The Secretary of Defense shall 
appoint a board to review the administration of the athletics programs 
of the United States Military Academy, the United States Naval Academy, 
and the United States Air Force Academy.
    (b) Composition of Board.--The Secretary shall appoint the members 
of the board from among distinguished administrators of institutions of 
higher education, members of Congress, members of the Boards of Visitors 
of the academies, and other experts in collegiate athletics programs. 
The Superintendents of the three academies shall be members of the 
board. The Secretary shall designate one member of the board, other than 
a Superintendent of an academy, as Chairman.
    (c) Duties.--The board shall, on an annual basis--
        (1) review all aspects of the athletics programs of the United 
    States Military Academy, the United States Naval Academy, and the 
    United States Air Force Academy, including--
            (A) the policies relating to the administration of such 
        programs;
            (B) the appropriateness of the balance between the emphasis 
        placed by each academy on athletics and the emphasis placed by 
        such academy on academic pursuits; and
            (C) the extent to which all athletes in all sports are 
        treated equitably under the athletics program of each academy; 
        and

        (2) determine ways in which the administration of the athletics 
    programs at the academies can serve as models for the administration 
    of athletics programs at civilian institutions of higher education.

    (d) Administrative Provisions.--(1) Each member of the board who is 
not an officer or employee of the Federal Government shall be 
compensated at a rate equal to the daily equivalent of the annual rate 
of basic pay prescribed for Executive Schedule Level IV under section 
5315 of title 5, for each day (including travel time) during which such 
member is engaged in the performance of the duties of the board. Members 
of the board who are officers or employees of the United States shall 
serve without compensation in addition to that received for their 
services as officers or employees of the United States.
    (2) The members of the board shall be allowed travel expenses, 
including per diem in lieu of subsistence, at rates authorized for 
employees of agencies under subchapter I of chapter 57 of title 5, while 
away from their homes or regular places of business in the performance 
of services for the board.
