AP INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — On the eve of the tip-off to the Final Four, the president of the United States is making a splash.
President Donald Trump issued his latest executive order to regulate college sports on Friday.
The 10-page order comes a day before the NCAA’s crown jewel — the men’s basketball tournament — reaches its pinnacle event here in central Indiana.
The order grants the NCAA the ability and suggests the organization limit athlete transfer movement, cap player eligibility, implement funding requirements for women and Olympic sports, and prohibit NIL collectives. As an enforcement lever, the order relies on the reduction of a university’s federal funding — an incentive for schools and conferences to abide by the concepts.
The order directs the NCAA to update its rules by Aug. 1 — to the maximum extent permitted by law — to “bring order and stability to the landscape in certain key areas,” a source who has reviewed the document told Yahoo Sports. Most notably, one of those areas is transferring.
Compliance with these rules will be relevant in determining if schools will continue to receive federal funding.
Many — including the president himself — expect the order to be challenged legally.
