President Donald Trump is set to issue an executive order that would establish national regulations for name, image, and likeness (NIL) activities in college athletics, in a potential game-changer to the system.
The report, as per CBS News, believes the significant federal action comes as lawmakers continue to debate the future of athlete compensation and a flurry of state laws create a fragmented legal landscape for intercollegiate sports programs.
The move by the Trump administration aims to streamline NIL regulations under a unified national framework and comes shortly after an amended version of the SCORE Act (Student Compensation and Opportunity through Rights and Endorsements) was introduced in the House of Representatives.
The proposed legislation would secure NIL rights for student-athletes and seeks to promote equitable compensation practices across all NCAA institutions to create a level playing field for the athletes.
A historic move from the President
If signed, the executive order would be the first presidential intervention to directly shape NIL policy, signaling a new phase in the increasingly politicized debate over college sports reform.
Currently, states govern NIL policy through individual legislation, leading to varying levels of protection and oversight, and this patchwork system has created competitive imbalances and raised concerns about transparency, recruiting practices, and market fairness.
Proponents of federal legislation argue that national standards are essential to restore integrity and consistency across college athletics.
While the executive order has not been officially confirmed by the White House, Trump’s interest in college sports policy has been evident since the early months of his second term.
In May, reports surfaced that the administration planned to form a college sports commission focused on NIL reform, and the proposed commission would have included high-profile figures such as Cody Campbell and Nick Saban.
Donald Trump news: Epstein stance could trigger MAGA civil war
Trump is facing renewed scrutiny over his handling of potential files related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein as in a recent post on Truth Social, he dismissed the controversy as a “hoax” pushed by “radical left Democrats.”
Insisting it is yet another politically motivated attack, he also lashed out at his own supporters, writing, “My PAST supporters have bought into this ‘bulls**t,’ hook, line, and sinker… They haven’t learned their lesson.”
This unexpected pivot has raised concerns among political allies who fear the strategy could alienate Trump’s core Make America Great Again base, particularly ahead of midterms in 2026.
However, peaking from the Oval Office, Trump doubled down, blaming “stupid” and “foolish” Republicans for amplifying the narrative in what could damage his longstanding image as a political outsider fighting against a corrupt establishment.
Public pressure is mounting for transparency. A recent YouGov poll found that 79 percent of Americans support releasing all Epstein-related government documents, including the so-called “list of clients”.
That includes 75 percent of Republicans highlighting that demand for disclosure is growing, and implying Trump could walking a fine line between deflection and alienation despite telling Fox News in 2024 that he would release the files if he had the opportunity.
