DAILY DILEMMA: Trump Might Cap College Athletes NIL Money
Donald Trump may be cooking up a new executive order — and this time, he’s eyeing college athletes’ NIL money.
According to recent reports, he’s considering an executive order to regulate NIL deals for college athletes.
This move would shake up how players get paid for their Name, Image, and Likeness in today’s college sports world.
And just like that, the money game might be getting a new referee.
Take the poll below.
The draft proposal lays out three main changes.
First, it would exempt the NCAA and others from antitrust laws, basically giving them more legal cover.
Second, it aims to block shady agents from jumping in and hustling student-athletes.
Third, it would create one federal NIL law, replacing the messy patchwork of state-by-state rules.
Trump says it’s about bringing structure. Critics say it’s about control.
Either way, this could cap earnings and change the NIL landscape overnight.
So that sneaker deal or energy drink endorsement might hit different under a Trump signature.
Debates over money and fairness in college sports keep heating up.
Now, Trump’s move could toss fuel on the fire.
