Trump issues executive order to bolster college sports rules
U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order on Friday that aims to reinforce the rules of college sports in a bid to restore financial stability and protect the future of college athletics. Friday’s order directs federal agencies to bolster the effectiveness of key college-sports rules on transferring, eligibility and pay-for-play. It seeks evaluations on whether any violations of such rules render a university unfit for federal grants and contracts.
