US EditionReport: President Trump, College Sports Leaders to Hold Roundtable
Jeffrey Gold, president of the University of Nebraska, joins college leaders in a roundtable to discuss college sports hosted by President Trump.
- Yahoo Sports first reported Thursday night that Jeffrey Gold, University of Nebraska President, was invited to a March 6 college sports roundtable at the White House, hosted by President Donald Trump.
- The summit traces back to a Feb. 15 golf outing at Mar-a-Lago that included Ron DeSantis, Urban Meyer, Mack Brown, and Nick Saban, organizers say the idea emerged earlier this month.
- Among invitees are Charlie Ward, a Heisman Trophy winner, ESPN chairman Jimmy Pitaro, and Tim Tebow, with Ward confirming his attendance.
- The meeting aims to develop rules after court decisions enabling name, image and likeness compensation, but despite calls from athletic directors and Trump’s support, Congress has not advanced a bill.
- Organizers say plans for the March 6 meeting remain preliminary with no formal materials provided, and an ESPN source said it is unclear whether all invitees have accepted.
