- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump urged Congress to pass legislation reining in college sports, citing financial peril for athletic departments as athletes move freely and command salaries.
- Trump blamed the court system and NIL policies for dismantling traditional scholarship models, saying the 2025 settlement of House v. the NCAA created a "total and complete mess."
