President Donald Trump on Thursday issued an executive order titled “SAVING COLLEGE SPORTS,” a directive aimed at regulating the rapidly shifting landscape in college sports

President Donald Trump issued an executive order aimed at preserving college sports. The policy mandates that universities expand or maintain scholarships and roster spots. An attorney for athletes says Trump intervention in college sports isn't needed.

Any policies that come from an executive order can either be challenged in court and reversed by the next administration, which means college sports continues to operate under a blanket of uncertainty when it comes to defining the relationship between schools and athletes. That’s exactly what college sports leaders are trying to stop.
