'Trump plans executive order to address college sports issues' [View all]

"ESPN, WASHINGTON -- After a plea for help from the highest levels of college athletics, President Donald Trump on Friday said he would write an executive order within a week that would 'solve all of the problems' brought forth in an unprecedented meeting at the White House to address the future of college sports."

"Trump, who was joined in the East Room by about 50 people from varied backgrounds, hosted the first 'Saving College Sports' roundtable with vice chairs Secretary of State Marco Rubio, New York Yankees president Randy Levine, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis."

"The group included other politicians, sports celebrities, media executives, conference commissioners, university presidents and chancellors and athletic directors. Those who spoke delivered a similar message: college sports needs federal legislation to restore order in the NIL space and its overall economics."

" 'I will have an executive order within one week, and it will be very all-encompassing,' Trump said. 'And we're going to put it forward, and we're going to get sued, and we're going to see how it plays, okay, but I'll have an executive order which will solve every problem in this room, every conceivable problem, within one week, and we'll put it forward. We will get sued. That's the only thing I know for sure.' "
