President Trump and Nick Saban talk NIL
Former Tennessee Volunteers quarterback Nico Iamaleava raised questions about college football when he sought to renegotiate his $2. 4 million deal to around $4 million, causing a public disagreement. His transfer to UCLA has led to discussions about the future of NIL regulations in college sports. This situation has drawn attention, prompting calls for more oversight. Reports indicate that former Alabama coach Nick Saban met with President Trump to discuss possible regulations on NIL payments and athlete compensation. Following their meeting, Trump is considering an executive order to create national guidelines. Meanwhile, the NCAA's Division I board approved a settlement allowing schools to share up to $20. 5 million with athletes and remove scholarship limits.
