Overview

• President Trump intends to sign an executive order establishing federal name, image and likeness standards in college sports, according to CBS News reports.
• College officials including Texas Tech booster Cody Campbell and SEC commissioner Greg Sankey say they have received no briefings on the order’s content or timeline.
• There has been no formal announcement of the presidential commission on college athletics that was previously tied to Trump’s NIL plans.
• Stakeholders have met with Congress 13 times to press for uniform NIL regulations through bills such as the SCORE Act.
• Legal analysts warn the executive order would offer limited enforceability in court and would not preempt ongoing congressional legislation.
