President Donald Trump called on Congress to pass the "Protecting University Sports Act" to restore clarity, stability, and accountability to university sports. He noted that years of lawsuits and uncertainty surrounding Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) rights, eligibility, transfers, and revenue sharing have led to a lack of clear and consistent rules in the university sports system. The Trump administration urged Congress to establish reasonable guardrails and clear rules, having previously signed executive orders to protect student-athletes and university sports scholarships and opportunities.
