President Trump planning to create commission on college sports

Multiple sources, both in Congress and within college sports, spoke to Yahoo Sports under condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak about Trump’s plan. Many college sports stakeholders have been briefed on the matter. It is unclear when an announcement could come.
Trump’s involvement, though not surprising, is a landmark moment in college athletics history — the country’s most powerful elected leader potentially shaping the future of the industry. Details of the commission are for now being kept private, but the group is expected to feature college sports stakeholders, prominent businesspeople with deep connections to college football and, perhaps, even a former coach and administrator.
The commission is expected to deeply examine the unwieldy landscape of college sports, including the frequency of player movement in the transfer portal, the unregulated booster compensation paid to athletes, the debate of college athlete employment, the application of Title IX to school revenue-share payments and, even, conference membership makeup and conference television contracts, those with knowledge of the commission told Yahoo Sports.
Trump’s involvement was expected. Last month, during a trip where more than 100 college sports leaders traveled to DC to lobby on the Hill, they were informed of the White House’s interest and potential action, as reported in this Yahoo Sports story. Last week, Sen. Tommy Tuberville suggested that Trump was contemplating an executive order, news confirmed in reporting by the Wall Street Journal.

Former Alabama head coach Nick Saban, a central figure in the fight for college sports legislation, is expected to be integral to the commission’s work. During Trump’s visit to Tuscaloosa last week to give a graduation address at the University of Alabama, Trump and Saban met about college sports legislation — a meeting that’s now transformed into plans for this executive group to be formed.

I'm okay with this
We need some sort of oversight committee to try to keep things in check b/c the NCAA sure as hell ain't doing it .
And I'm perfectly okay w/Saban running it.

true, but he is the greatest college coach of all time, and the reason why he retired is the current system

Like he wouldn’t have been able to convince dudes to take less $$$ to play for him
he retired because he’s old, and there’s nothing wrong with that

Saban will be the commissioner of college sports in less than 24 months.
Dude is a Hillary supporter but knew what he was doing buttering up to DJT at Bama's graduation.
You can bet the big $$ whales like Texas, Michigan, etc are about to all be limited to Dodge Chargers as NIL packages....

Something needs to change. The whole transfer whenever, NIL not being pay for play has been a disaster and I don't care what side of the political spectrum you are on. Kudos for some strong leaders who can do something about it, are willing to do something about it. Revamp the NCAA because right now they have about as much authority as an unarmed security guard.

Obviously I’m biased here, but Saban strikes me as a consummate professional and someone who genuinely loves college athletics.
I doubt he’s gonna come in with a goal of helping Alabama.
He also correctly predicted all these issues, and everyone just moaned that he was bitching at the time.

And went straight to work. Dude would have much rather have been coaching than on College Gameday.
He admitted he got out because of NIL and transfer portal and I don't blame him. He was the greatest recruiter ever and true recruitment was becoming less and less important.
