President Trump signed an executive order on April 7, 2026, aimed at safeguarding college sports. The order directs federal agencies to enforce consistent rules on athlete eligibility, transfers, and compensation, and to promote revenue‑sharing and stronger protections for student‑athletes. It seeks to stabilize programs that support more than 500,000 student‑athletes and provide nearly $4 billion in scholarships. The order has been endorsed by university presidents, conference commissioners, and the National Collegiate Athletic Association, who say it clarifies national standards and supports health care, mental‑health services, and scholarship protections. Supporters urge Congress to enact the bipartisan SCORE Act, which would codify many of the order’s provisions.
