Trump Repeats Call for College Sports Reform

Trump Repeats Call for College Sports Reform

The president's remarks come as college athletes are increasingly allowed to move freely between schools and command high salaries through name, image, and likeness deals.

Trump suggested that without federal intervention, non-revenue sports will suffer as athletic departments struggle to balance their books.

He urged lawmakers to create a unified regulatory framework to protect the traditional collegiate model.

Critics, however, argue that such measures would unfairly limit the earning potential of student-athletes.
