The page text supplied was cut off part-way through the eligibility section, so any category exclusions or shorter windows further down were not seen. The 60 days applies to "most" items. Returns must generally be resalable, in original packaging, with tags on apparel (unless defective or damaged in transit). Without a receipt, a government photo ID is required, and if the purchase can't be verified you get merchandise credit at the item's lowest price in the past 90 days. Gift receipts get merchandise credit. Cash refunds need an original receipt. Items bought online and picked up in store can't be returned by post. The page does not mention refunding a price drop after purchase.

What the law gives you in the United States
No nationwide return or price-adjustment right: in the US each store sets its own rules, so Pricemend goes by the store's published policy.
This applies on top of whatever Academy Sports + Outdoors offers, and sometimes gives you more.
