Trump's Sport Executive Order

[mthoopsfan]

"The 10-page order comes a day before the NCAA’s crown jewel — the men’s basketball tournament — reaches its pinnacle event here in central Indiana.

The order grants the NCAA the ability and suggests the organization limit athlete transfer movement, cap player eligibility, implement funding requirements for women and Olympic sports, and prohibit NIL collectives. As an enforcement lever, the order relies on the reduction of a university’s federal funding — an incentive for schools and conferences to abide by the concepts.

The order directs the NCAA to update its rules by Aug. 1 — to the maximum extent permitted by law — to “bring order and stability to the landscape in certain key areas,” a source who has reviewed the document told Yahoo Sports. Most notably, one of those areas is transferring.

Compliance with these rules will be relevant in determining if schools will continue to receive federal funding.

Many — including the president himself — expect the order to be challenged legally."

Seems like he might have more important issues, to deal with, right now...

Ten pages. Proof that lawyers infest the Executive Branch. Why state something in a thousand words when it can be said in 10,000 words. Brevity is clarity. These are not 'Post It Note' people. https://www.amazon.com/post-notes/s?k=post+it+notes

Whenever the fat orange dump speaks he talks for minutes without really saying anything.

 

[tourist]

Extemporaneously.

 

[behappp]

Expecting it to be challenged in court?
Talk about an understatement.
This will keep several law firms in the $$$ for awhile

 

[tourist]

Lawyers, again. Like a sea of maggots.

There was a scene from the HBO 'Conspiracy' years back:

• Dr. Wilhelm Stuckart: The law of the Reich...
• Klopfer: We made the law we need. Why am I telling you this? How many lawyers are in this room? Raise your hand.
• [Almost half of those present raise their hands. Klopfer raises his own and makes Kritzinger do the same]
• Klopfer: Oh, Jesus Christ! It's worse than I thought.
• [Chuckle around the table]

Yes, and I wish he and his people would focus on the other issues and not stuff like this.

He has issues staying on task let alone multitasking.

"Fact Sheet: President Trump Takes Urgent National Action to Save College Sports act Sheet: President Trump Takes Urgent National Action to Save College Sports"

The White House

April 3, 2026​

PROTECTING THE FUTURE OF COLLEGE SPORTS BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to preserve the unique American institution of college athletics by restoring order, fairness, and stability.

• The Order directs Federal agencies to bolster the effectiveness of key college-sports rules on transferring, eligibility, and pay-for-play by evaluating whether violations of such rules render a university unfit for Federal grants and contracts.
• Simultaneously, the Order calls on the appropriate governing body to update these rules to restore financial stability and protect the future of all college sports, including women’s and Olympic sports by:
  • establishing clear, consistent, and fair eligibility limits, including a five-year participation window;
  • setting structured transfer rules for academic and athletic continuity;
  • ensuring medical care for student-athletes;
  • implementing revenue-sharing in a manner that protects and expands opportunities in women’s and Olympic sports;
  • banning improper financial arrangements including pay-for-play agreements facilitated by collectives and similar entities; and
  • establishing protections against unscrupulous agent conduct.
• The Order directs the Administrator of General Services and the Department of Education to increase data collection across college athletics to ensure compliance.
• The Order directs the Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission and the Attorney General to take appropriate enforcement actions.
• The Order also calls on Congress to quickly pass legislation to address these critical issues.

RECOGNIZING THE IMPORTANCE OF COLLEGE SPORTS AND NEED FOR ACTION AND STABILITY: President Trump recognizes the critical role of American college sports in fostering leadership, education, and community pride, and that decisive action is needed to address urgent threats to its future.

• College sports is a uniquely American institution that produces great athletes and leaders, fuels our Olympic dominance, and forms an indelible part of American culture and communities.
  • College athletics support over 500,000 student-athletes with nearly $4 billion in scholarships annually, helping forge America’s future leaders, driving local economies, and shaping national culture.
  • The collegiate athletic system produced 75 percent of the 2024 U.S. Olympic Team and has yielded countless business and civic leaders.
• But the future of college sports—and especially women’s and Olympic sports—is under serious threat, as lawsuits have weakened the rules and created a financial arms race that threatens to put many university athletic programs out of business.
• College sports cannot function without clear, agreed-upon rules concerning pay-for-play and player eligibility that can’t be endlessly challenged in court, as is the case now.
• The resulting chaos is creating financial pressures that threaten to drain resources from all sports except football and basketball, and from many universities altogether.
• While Congress is strongly encouraged to expeditiously pass legislation, further delay is not an option given what is at stake and the turmoil and instability currently facing universities across the nation.

PROMOTING A LEGACY OF ATHLETIC EXCELLENCE: This Executive Order builds on President Trump’s longstanding commitment to showcasing American greatness through sports and recognition of its value in forging American leaders and culture.

• President Trump previously signed an Executive Order providing a clear vision for protecting student-athletes and collegiate athletic scholarships and opportunities, including in Olympic and non-revenue programs, and the unique American institution of college sports.
• President Trump recently held a roundtable at the White House to address the future of college sports, where he pledged to sign today’s Executive Order.
• President Trump signed an Executive Order to keep men out of women’s sports, ensuring equal opportunities for women in sports.
• President Trump played a pivotal role in securing the United States’ bid for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles and the United States’ bid for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
• President Trump has attended countless sporting events and hosted numerous teams at the White House.

At least this is state side and not fighting other countries battles for them.

 

[Triwest]

At least this is state side and not fighting other countries battles for them.

Randy Levine, the President of the New York Yankees along with a committee he headed put this together.

 

[wyomingriz]

Yes, and I wish he and his people would focus on the other issues and not stuff like this.

Do you really think Trump and his “people” spent more than 5 minutes on the executive order? He sure as hell didn’t write any of it. All he did was sign it. You should have put this on Egriz Politics but you couldn’t help yourself. If you take “Trump” off the executive order maybe some on this site might actually read it like an adult. It looks like a start or rough draft, I’m sure there will be plenty of tweaks before it can be passed. Most think guidelines should be implemented, status quo seems out of control, and athletics and the educational system are at risk of busting if nothing is done. Up to this point Congress has done nothing

Yes, I do. Do you think they spent more than 5 minutes on the decision to go to war in Iran?

The Trump order and my putting it in this thread had nothing to do with Policitcs. Zero. The order impacts college athletics.

Your saying it had nothing to do with Politics but you are asking me to answer a political question haha, not gonna go there. If it had nothing to do with Politics why did you, and why are you getting political? Was fine to just put the order on a thread, but with your comments and others after the thread, even a dumbass can look back and see it was just bait to get political, on Egriz FOOTBAll!

My posting of the Oder had nothing to do with politics. You brought up politics not me.

Again, I said: “The Trump order and my putting it in this thread had nothing to do with Politics. Zero. The order impacts college athletics.”

Learn to read. Learn to think.

Also, I know I posted it. It had nothing to do with politics.

uh yeah especially since the SCOTUS already ruled on some of that. But we know what the current President thinks of the law with regard to his EO's.
