President Donald Trump has signed an executive order aimed at stabilizing college sports, threatening to cut federal funding to cash-starved schools that don't comply. The order targets eligibility rules, transfers, and costs associated with the industry that pays its players millions per year. It also urges federal agencies to ensure schools are following the rules and threatens to cut off federal grants and funding. This follows a similar approach by the Obama administration to force universities to alter policies related to diversity, equity and inclusion, transgender rights, and the types of classes they offer. The president's order includes a list of proposed fixes, many of which have been pushed for by lawmakers and college leaders. However, it is likely to lead to litigation, with some universities facing large debts.
