Several sources, both in the congress and in college sports, spoke on the condition of anonymity with Yahoo Sports because they were not justified to talk about Trump's plan. Many university sports takeholders were informed on this matter. It is unclear when an announcement could come.

The Commission will be Headed under the direction of Alabama Nick Saban's former businessman and the billionaire of Texas, Cody Campbell,said several sources late Wednesday to Yahoo Sports.

Trump's commitment is not surprising, is a pioneering moment in the history of college athletics – the most powerful leader in the country, who shapes the future of the industry. Details of the Commission are mainly kept privately, but the group is expected to contain other stakeholders for university sports, prominent business people with deep connections to College football and maybe even another former coach and administrator.

The commission is expected to examine the unwieldy landscape of university sports, including the frequency of the player movement in the transfer portal, the non-regulated buoyancy compensation that is paid to athletes, the debate about the employment of college athletes, the Olympic sports structure, the application of titles IX on school revenues and even, at the same time with the commissions, to the commissions with which Commissions have come and the promotion of contract.

Trump's participation was expected. Last month, during a trip where more than 100 college sports director traveled to DC, they were informed about the interest and potential action of the White House, as reported in this Yahoo sports history. Last week, Senator Tommy Tuberville suggested that Trump thought about an executive regulation on how news was confirmed in the reporting of Wall Street Journal.

Trump was able to announce a commission through an executive regulation, as the President only this week when he founded the religious freedom commission.

Saban, a central personality of the struggle for legislation for university sports, will probably be an essential part of the work of the Commission. While Trump's visit to Tuscaloosa last week to keep a final speech at the University of Alabama, Trump and Saban met the legislation of university sports – a meeting that is now transformed into plans for which this executive group is formed.

College Athletics is a pioneering moment in its history.

The industry is in a kind of purgatory that captures between its old facade of amateurism and adult professionalism. In a decades of movement for athletic rights, the rules of the NCAA collapsed the player movement, compensation and other aspects by local and federal judges.

The latest turning point was almost four years ago when the legislators of the state passed laws to initiate the era of the name, image and similarity (Nile) and to force the NCAA to finally end the ban on the athletes, to earn compensation through confirmation and trading transactions. Since then, the association has voluntarily provided the athletes more advantages such as postgraduate health care, guaranteed scholarships and much more.

With the four power conferences that achieved billions in television revenue, the NCAA and their conferences recently agreed to handle three antitrust cases (house) about the compensation of the athletes and thus agreed to pay the schools directly from 1 July as part of a short system.

The agreement, a one -year effort, is in the last phases of consent. In fact, it is expected that the NCAA and the leagues will submit an assignment on Wednesday evening, of which the officials hope that the concerns of a California judge will appease an aspect of agreement in connection with the squad borders in connection with the Californian judge.

Trump's engagement has followed in the last few months of negotiations on College's legislation of five US senators: Republican Ted Cruz (Texas) and Jerry Moran (Kansas) as well as the Democrats Cory Booker (New Jersey), Chris Coons (Delaware) and Richard Blumenthal (Connecticut). In fact, several members of this group only met on Tuesday to work on the legislation.

While the College leaders believe that the five as “tight as they have ever been” to agree to a university sports law, this hop as a shared congress in a domestic and international pressure that has priority.

It was expected that a framework of a legislation includes three main concepts: (1) a limited antitrust protection protection, which partially codes the unification of the house in order to enable the NCAA and power conferences, to enforce the authorization and transfer rules as well as the rules for the new income operating structure. (2) A clause that athletes holds as students and not as an employee, with a possible sunset in this provision after a specified number of years; and (3) Preparation of existing NIL-state laws, many of which contradict the rules for comparison and/or the NCAA.

The aggressive lobby efforts of the NCAA and power conferences are a clear sign that they believe that the federal legislation is necessary to enforce rules without legal challenges, even if the agreement is approved.

How Trump's participation will affect these latest talks remains unclear.

The negotiations between the five senators are only the latest five -year efforts by university sports managers to set the congress for the adoption of a federal solution. More than a dozen legislative templates were introduced, and 13 hearing of the congress, whereby no legislation was debated about the Senate or the House Floor.
