Donald Trump college sports NIL executive order plan new to leaders

"College sports leaders have met with Congress 13 different times in an effort to gain federal intervention in the NIL process..."

Well...if we can't get help from the NCAA or Congress...?

I believe Teddy Roosevelt started the NCAA.

I don't know if creating a trust is communist or fascist or whatnot, but that's a gem. Athletes knew they were being screwed 100 years ago.

I definitely am not super interested in an executive order due to its temporary nature, which will just create more stuff to adapt to.

Although maybe we should be for this constant churn as UO seems to gain an advantage by being innovative in adapting to these changes better and quicker than anyone else, giving us an advantage with roster building.

Good luck, yuck, yuck. This is 'speaking softly.' Only Congress carries a 'big stick.' Hats off for trying.

Soaring to Glory

Here we go again. President Trump wants to insert himself...

The money being spent for a winning college football team is crazy. Apparently, the wealthy, and Corporate America, need an immediate intervention. They are asking for someone to impose a subjective NIL “salary cap” to save them from themselves.

Once a collective secures the commitment of a 5* recruit with a stupidly priced NIL contract offer, the collective is expected to continue to offer millions to kids just out of high school. It’s an addiction, and we all are wondering when someone finally intervenes.

Whether we like it, or not, sports entertainment is BIG business.

Spot on. Teddy is credited with saving CFB, which was understandably too rough for the Rough Rider.

President Donald Trump to sign executive order establishing national NIL standards amid evolving legislation

This would be President Trump's latest push to establish NIL standards in college athletics

I still fail to see where anyone - including President Trump - can find a solid argument that would convince congress that there is ongoing antitrust collusion among P5 camps when they are in competition with each other for the same thing.

If the threat of losing the full impact of booster support requires these universities or athletic departments to offer some form of legitimate business status to an affiliation of their boosters, I’m too legally ignorant to know if anything could stop them.

The Executive Order has been issued. To what effect remains to be seen.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday related to NIL and college sports, the White House announced.

Not getting political but as a high school government teacher here are the problems I see with this executive order.

1. Executive orders are NOT laws thought they can be administered like a law.

   1a. Who is going to administer this order? The NCAA?

   1b. What realistic power of enforcement will they have?

2. This is not a law, so how will it interact with existing State laws that do allow for NIL payments. Oregon, Washington, and California I know for a fact all have State laws that allow for NIL payments. I believe Tennessee passed a law last year to allow for even more freedom in NIL payments.

3. Though not 3rd party payments, there is still the House Settlement that will complicate player payments.

4. A lawsuit is certainly coming, most likely from players (probably with some support from NIL backers) because this would be a massive rule change for them.

There are probably more questions that will crop up about this executive order but these are my initial thoughts.

My understanding is that it applies with the force of law until the next President writes one to dissolve it. This was common as Biden wrote 160 Executive Orders, and Obama wrote 277 Executive Orders. Biden revoked 72 Executive Orders from Trump's first term, which again--is common. (Trump has written 171 Executive Orders in his second term)

It does not solve everything, but I view it as a next step?

The Yahoo Sports site's take on the Executive Order is very much the same as David Marsh's succinct, spot-on post.

The Order is a good attempt at trying to fix what ails college sports, but will it have any real effect?

The SCORE Act has made it out of committee. If passed, which is doubtful, it would have the full force of law behind it.
