Trump creating commission on college sports to help solve NIL issue.
President Donald J. Trump made headlines last week by speaking at a commencement ceremony at the University of Alabama. His visit gained more attention when it was revealed that he was discussing the NIL issue with Nick Saban and considering an executive order to address pay-for-play problems. However, it seems Trump is now pursuing a different approach.
Trump is forming a commission on college sports to investigate NIL-related concerns. This involvement is seen as a significant moment in college athletics, as it may influence the future of the industry. The commission will include college sports stakeholders and business leaders, and it aims to examine various topics such as player movement, booster compensation, athlete employment, Title IX applications, and conference contracts. Saban is expected to be heavily involved in this process.
