President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday aimed at restoring “order, fairness and stability” to college athletics.
The order directs federal agencies to bolster the effectiveness of key rules on transferring, eligibility and pay-for-play by evaluating whether violations of such rules render a university unfit for federal grants and contracts.
The order also calls on the appropriate governing body to update these rules to restore financial stability and protect the future of all college sports, including women’s and Olympic sports by:
— establishing clear, consistent, and fair eligibility limits, including a five-year participation window;
— setting structured transfer rules for academic and athletic continuity;
— ensuring medical care for student-athletes;
— implementing revenue-sharing in a manner that protects and expands opportunities in women’s and Olympic sports;
— banning improper financial arrangements including pay-for-play agreements facilitated by collectives and similar entities; and
— establishing protections against unscrupulous agent conduct.
The order directs the Administrator of General Services and the Department of Education to increase data collection across college athletics to ensure compliance and directs the Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission and the Attorney General to take appropriate enforcement actions.
The order also calls on Congress to “quickly” pass legislation to address these issues.
