President Donald J. Trump made national news last week when he spoke at a commencement ceremony on the campus of the University of Alabama.

While his visit alone was significant, the headlines got much bigger when it was revealed that he was discussing the NIL issue with Nick Saban and potentially even considering an executive order to try to put an end to the pay-for-play chaos.

Whether or not an executive order would be able to help the situation cannot be known, however, it appears that the President is now taking a different route on the matter instead.

According to a story from Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports, Trump is creating a commission on college sports to help look into NIL-related issues.

“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,” Dellenger wrote. “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.”

While it sounds like fans will have to wait to see what the commission looks like, Dellenger did reveal the general concept of what the goal will be.

“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.”

Perhaps the most significant portion of the story is Dellenger’s confirmation that Saban himself is expected to be heavily involved in the process.

What exactly an arrangement looks like remains to be seen, but it seems to be all but confirmed that the highest powers in the country are working on the issues in college sports.
