President Donald Trump plans to address college athletics with what could be a months-long endeavor. The question is, can his efforts help save college sports?

That remains to be seen, but The Clemson Insider met with Clemson athletic director Graham Neff at the ACC Spring Meetings in Amelia Island, Fla., where we asked Neff for his thoughts on the forthcoming Presidential Commission and whether it can help college athletics going forward.

Trump plans to create a commission on college athletics, with the intention of studying college sports and finding solutions to issues “ailing” the industry, according to a recent report from Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger.

Neff said the Presidential Commission would be a topic of conversation with ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips during the league’s spring meetings.

“We’re going to talk about it down here just to kind of get the latest from Commissioner Phillips’ lens,” Neff told The Clemson Insider. “Obviously he’s in more of those circles than many of us are.”

Dellenger’s report noted that legendary former Alabama head coach Nick Saban is expected to play an integral role in the commission’s work.

After Trump and Saban met a couple of weeks ago, the Wall Street Journal reported reported that the Trump administration is considering an executive order that “could increase scrutiny” of NIL payments to college athletes.

NCAA President Charlie Baker commented on the Presidential Commission following the ACC’s opening spring meeting on Monday, saying he does not know how or if the Presidential Commission will help with the ongoing issues in college athletics, but he does know they will need some kind of help at some point.

From Neff’s perspective, he believes the Presidential Commission is “indicative of the importance of college athletics in our country.”

“And that means different things to different people,” he added, “and there’s the recognition of gosh, like, this industry of college sports is so, so special for student development, for our social lives, and more support as we all try to figure that out, I think, is a really good thing.”
