President Donald Trump is set to host a White House roundtable next week to address the future of college sports. The meeting, scheduled for March 6, will convene prominent coaches, commissioners from college and professional sports leagues, and other athletes.
The agenda will focus on key challenges such as NCAA authority, name, image, and likeness (NIL) issues, collective bargaining, and governance concerns.
College sports leaders have been grappling with significant reforms amid recent court rulings and the transformative impact of NIL on student-athlete compensation. The growing disparity between major conferences and smaller divisions also remains a key point of discussion.
Calls for a national framework from Congress to stabilize the collegiate sports landscape have been ongoing, though no comprehensive proposal has yet materialized. Reports suggest invitees may include figures like Tiger Woods, Nick Saban, and Adam Silver.
This initiative follows President Trump's previous executive order in July 2025, "Saving College Sports," which aimed to review antitrust protections and oversight of NIL payments. While that order did not lead to binding changes, the current roundtable signals continued presidential engagement on the matter.
