Saving College Sports

President Donald Trump issued Executive Order 14322, titled "Saving College Sports," on July 24, 2025. The order aims to protect and expand opportunities in college sports, particularly for women's and non-revenue sports, by setting guidelines for scholarship distribution based on athletic department revenues. It prohibits third-party pay-for-play payments to athletes, except for legitimate market-value endorsements, to preserve the educational and developmental benefits of collegiate athletics. The order also directs the Secretary of Education and other officials to develop a plan to enforce these policies and ensure the stability of college sports. Additionally, it calls for legal protections for college athletics from lawsuits and seeks to maintain the role of collegiate sports in developing athletes for the U.S. Olympic Team.
