Trump Vows New Executive Order on College Sports Within a Week After White House Roundtable

He also backed renewed House action on the SCORE Act following warnings that lawsuits have upended enforcement.

Overview

  • President Trump said he will issue a more comprehensive executive order within about a week to address NIL, transfers and eligibility, acknowledging it will likely be challenged in court.
  • House Speaker Mike Johnson told attendees he believes the House has the votes to pass the SCORE Act, which would set national standards and grant limited antitrust protections.
  • New York Yankees president Randy Levine was tasked to convene a smaller group to recommend specifics for the order, with follow‑on outreach to include current athletes.
  • About 40–50 leaders attended, including NCAA president Charlie Baker, Power Four commissioners, Nick Saban, Urban Meyer and NBA commissioner Adam Silver, but no current college players were present.
  • Participants cited unchecked NIL collectives, constant transfer‑portal movement and budget pressure on women’s and Olympic sports as urgent problems, noting a prior July order produced little practical change.
