May 2026: TRUMP PRESIDENCY Trump warns college sports could be 'lost forever' as committee pushes changes, Congress urged to act

Trump warns college sports could be 'lost forever' as committee pushes changes, Congress urged to act
"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."
