New Executive Order Issued For College Sports

[TexasPhilly]

President Trump delivers new executive order attempting to regulate college sports.

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order of "urgent national action to save college sports," an intervention at the highest level aimed at federally regulating NIL collectives, limiting transfer movement, capping player eligibility, and enacting funding requirements for the Olympics and women's sports, the White House announced Friday (3 April 2026).

Trump's recommendation includes strict guardrails on player transfers and even mentions the return of the NCAA's "one-time" transfer rule, with an exception for grad transfers.

The order says universities should "provide for the ability to transfer one time during the five-year (eligibility) period with immediate playing eligibility, and one additional such time if the student-athlete obtains a four-year degree."
