In a major development for college sports, President Donald Trump signed a sweeping executive order Thursday called “SAVING COLLEGE SPORTS,” sparking debate and raising awareness about issues related to name, image, and likeness (NIL), athlete pay, and the NCAA’s role.

The Trump administration Thursday released a long-anticipated executive order on college sports, an attempt to provide federal guidance to the wild world of big money that has transformed collegiate athletics in recent years.

While Texas Tech seems to be benefiting in the NIL era, programs like Maryland are hoping revenue share leads to a level playing field.

Football coaches, players and administrators shared skepticism and some hope in a post–House settlement world as they await College Sports Commission’s rulings.

The soonest a vote could happen is in the fall Congressional session starting in September, with summer recess looming.
