U.S. President Donald Trump has issued an executive order to bolster college sports rules, including those on transferring, eligibility, and pay-for-play. The order seeks evaluations on whether any violations of these rules render a university unfit for federal grants and contracts. It also urges the relevant governing bodies to update rules regarding financial arrangements and transfer rules. The cost of college football programs is increasing, leading some universities to abandon some other sports. The value of name, image and likeness contracts has been increasing, making it a costly burden for colleges.
