Trump signs executive order on college sports, White House says

UNITED STATES, JUL 25 – The executive order bans third-party pay-for-play deals and mandates revenue sharing to protect women’s and non-revenue collegiate sports amid rising NIL payments, affecting over 500,000 athletes.

  • On July 24, the White House announced that President Donald Trump issued an executive order aimed at regulating payments in college sports and clarifying the status of student-athletes.
  • This order follows recent court rulings and the start of schools paying athletes up to $20.5 million since July 1, amid growing NIL deals.
  • The order bans third-party, pay-for-play payments but allows fair-market-value compensation like brand endorsements and promotes opportunities for women's and non-revenue sports.
  • It calls for federal agencies to clarify if athletes qualify as employees and urges protection of student-athlete rights to prevent destabilizing legal challenges.
  • The order could reshape college athletics by introducing clearer national standards, while schools and conferences plan to challenge collective bargaining moves legally.
