President Trump signed an executive order (EO) titled “Saving College Sports” on July 24, 2025, intended to address the rapidly changing landscape of collegiate athlete compensation. The EO focuses on third-party and pay-for-play payments, preserving and expanding opportunities in non-revenue and women’s sports, and protecting college athletics from antitrust and other legal challenges. Notably, the EO also directs the Secretary of Labor and the National Labor Relations Board to clarify the status of student-athletes.
Please join us for a 30-minute audio-only briefing during which NACUA member-experts, Jason Montgomery and Kasey Havekost, will provide an in-depth overview of the EO and share their thoughts on how this EO impacts the current state of collegiate athlete compensation.
