On Thursday, President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order aptly named "President Donald J. Trump Saves College Sports."
The order intends to prevent third-party, pay-for-play payments to college athletes, and serves in direct contrast to the deal reached on Tuesday by House vs. NCAA attorneys to allow NIL collectives to still function as any other business and still directly pay student-athletes.
Confused yet?
The President's Executive Order will still allow NIL deals for "fair market value," which is similar language to the original House vs. NCAA settlement prior to Wednesday's deal.
Trump's plan is still developing, but it is rumored to threaten to remove federal funding from institutions that are blatantly breaking rules with regard to pay-for-play.
