YOUTUBE (The Hill) - Happening NOW: Trump Hosts Roundtable On Future Of College Sports
President Trump on Friday afternoon will host a roundtable at the White House centered on college sports and reforms to the NCAA. Trump earlier this year signed an executive order seeking to ban “pay-for-play” deals with third parties and called on schools to dedicate scholarships and funds to women’s and Olympic sports. Friday's meeting comes after lawmakers voiced concern with the current college sports landscape and complained about the proliferation of Name Image and Likeness deals for athletes at top schools and the transfer portal. The event will include guests such as former Alabama football coach Nick Saban, NCAA president Charlie Baker, NBA commissioner Adam Silver and others.
