On Friday, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at regulating college sports in response to recent rule changes that permit financial compensation for student athletes. This order, the second of its kind, mandates the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) to enforce a five-year limit on athlete eligibility and allows athletes to transfer schools once before graduation without the penalty of sitting out a season. The changes, which are set to take effect on August 1, also include a call for the NCAA to ban improper financial arrangements and urges Congress to legislate on these issues. Trump expressed concerns that the current lack of consistent rules regarding eligibility and compensation is leading to financial instability for universities. This order follows a previous one issued in July that aimed to restrict recruiting payments to college athletes in high-revenue sports, such as football and men's basketball, to protect funding for women's and non-revenue sports. The NCAA previously prohibited athletes from receiving compensation for their name, image, and likeness until a 2021 Supreme Court ruling changed those regulations.
