"President Donald Trump is ramping up pressure on Congress to overhaul college sports, warning the system could be "lost forever" as a White House-backed committee pushes sweeping changes to rein in athlete pay, transfers and soaring costs.
The proposals include creating a task force to examine pooled media rights, limits on coaching salaries, rewritten eligibility rules and changes to the transfer portal, according to a draft document obtained by Yahoo Sports.
The push builds on a recent executive order from Trump, which described college athletics as an "out-of-control financial arms race" fueled by loosening rules around player compensation, transfers and eligibility — and urged federal action before the system destabilizes further.
The White House said the current model is "driving universities into debt," threatening women’s and Olympic sports and undermining student-athletes’ educational opportunities."
