Dispute Over NIL Go Could End Any Semblance of a Salary Cap
Attorneys asked the court to prohibit third-party companies from being subject to extra scrutiny by the College Sports Commission.

This would be a disaster for SHU as it would effectively create a loophole for programs to funnel operating revenue to uncapped NIL rather than capped revenue sharing. Wouldn't change a thing for us as we don't hit the revenue sharing cap anyway, but the cap would be easily circumventable for those that do.

WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump on Tuesday repeated his call for Congress to pass legislation that would rein in college sports at a time athletes are allowed to move freely from school to school and command salaries that put athletic departments in financial peril.
Trump's remarks came at a White House event honoring some 100 athletes from seven teams that won NCAA championships in 2025.
Trump this month signed an executive order that would limit eligibility to five years, allow one transfer without penalty for undergraduates, stop pay-for-play schemes and build in protections for women's and Olympic sports.
Aspects of the executive order might not withstand legal scrutiny, which is why Trump and some college sports stakeholders are asking for federal legislation that would codify restrictions and grant the NCAA an antitrust exemption to enforce rules.
Dozens of athletes have challenged NCAA eligibility rules with the hope of extending their college careers and, in turn, their ability to earn money through name, image and likeness deals. He said it's unfair for athletes right out of high school to compete against 28- or 29-year-olds.
"It's a very precarious position the courts have left us in," Trump said, adding that the 2025 settlement of House v. the NCAA created a professional model that has led to financial instability for colleges. "And now it's a total and complete mess. But we're going to get it fixed up and we've got fantastic people doing it. So we need now Congress to act to clear up the confusion created by the courts and institute permanent reforms to protect college sports at every level, especially some sports."
The national championship teams honored were Oklahoma State in men's golf, Texas A&M in women's volleyball, Wake Forest in men's tennis, Georgia in women's tennis, Youngstown State in women's bowling, Florida State in women's soccer and West Virginia in mixed rifle.
"Seventy-five percent of Olympians competing for Team USA played as college athletes," Trump said. "If we don't straighten out this, we're not going to have much of an Olympic team because you have so many of these sports, especially certain sports where it's like the minor leagues, call it the major leagues, whatever you want. But we've trained unbelievable athletes to go in and win the gold medal. Without college sports and without your ability to go into college sports and compete and learn how to play and get better, we're not going to have much of an Olympic team anymore."
There is less than 1 percent 28-29 year olds. In former decades it was not out of the question for a school to honor a football scholarship to someone who went pro in baseball.Trump repeats call for Congress to rein in college sports

NBA drafted a former military member who ended up playing at FSU.
I feel the real scrutiny is foreign nationals on some visa program taking scholarships regardless of.their age. Recently patrick mcenroe has been on a year about this in mens collegiate tennis.
I can recall the 2004 summer Olympics Zimbabwe representation in men's and women's swimming had majority actively at sec programs.
The age range is a fool's errand to me.

The Courts threw lighter fluid on the whole thing. I’m no fan of the NCAA and their negligence started this mess, but what are they supposed to do when Courts keep shutting down rules?
The Courts are dealing with the system the NCAA created by clinging to an amateur model while making billions and coaches making millions. California teams in a Midwest based conference.
By not being proactive, the NCAA and the member institutions left it to the Courts to decide the fate of college athletics and player compensation/movement.
The amature model is out the door and it is now a semi pro model with education as a minor part of it. Sad to say but going to college to play sports and get a degree is no longer in the equation. Strike the get a degree part out and replace it with going to college and making lots of money and showcase to get a pro basketball contract.
The NCAA is the member institutions. The greedy college presidents and ADs didn’t want to give up on the amateur model.
Yep, this is what started it. There’s no putting the genie back in the bottle now.
