Trump signs executive order on college sports, White House says
- In Florida, President Donald Trump signed an order banning `third-party, pay-for-play` payments, a move the White House said is meant to curb `bidding wars`.
- Since legal challenges and state laws in 2021 opened a 'wild west' in NIL, recent court rulings dismantled NCAA transfer limits, and Trump consulted coaches Nick Saban and Tommy Tuberville.
- According to the White House, the order exempts fair-market brand deals, directs departments earning over $125 million to increase non-revenue scholarships, and mandates revenue sharing that safeguards women's and non-revenue sports.
- Within 30 days, Education Secretary Linda McMahon must outline a plan to enforce the order, and Reps Brett Guthrie, Tim Walberg and Jim Jordan said the SCORE Act will complement the directive.
- The order could send shockwaves through college football and men's basketball recruitment, highlights competitive imbalances from 30 state laws, and leaves universities uncertain about rules ahead of the next academic year.
