President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Friday to regulate college sports.
According to Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger, the order grants the NCAA the ability and suggests the organization limit athlete transfer movement, cap player eligibility, implement funding requirements for women and Olympic sports, and prohibit NIL collectives. As an enforcement lever, past iterations of the order relied on the reduction of a university’s federal funding — an incentive for schools and conferences to abide by the concepts.
The order will not go into effect until Aug. 1, and will not impact basketball’s transfer portal window, which opens next week.
