@Leeds376 @WinterSportsLaw @JayBilas Save it from becoming nothing more than just another semi professional sports league
What makes college athletics special is that it’s not professional and offers value that professional sports do not
English
As @JayBilas correctly points out, there’s a lot of hypocrisy in college athletics right now.
It’s only when athletes begin to get paid that it’s necessary to have a federal law to “save college sports.”
English
@PCFriarFaithful @WinterSportsLaw @JRbroadcaster @JayBilas People all over this app are saying that and complaining that some of them are making more than professional athletes. Don’t make shit up.
English
@WinterSportsLaw @JRbroadcaster @JayBilas I haven’t seen one person say that athletes should NOT get paid. Not a single soul has said that. But 2mm+ for a player is just not fun and clearly over the medium/long term benefits a select single-digit amount of schools and over compensates the athletes
English
@SSN_TexasState @WinterSportsLaw @JayBilas Save it from what? The games are just fine, the sky isn’t falling. You’re just mad because “it’s not how it used to be!!??!?!”
English
@WinterSportsLaw @JayBilas Jay bilas been spewing this trash for 20 plus years
He’s part of the problem not the solution to saving college athletics
Listen to his bitterness and anger when coach was trying to speak some sense and logic
SAVE COLLEGE ATHLETICS

@SSN_TexasState @WinterSportsLaw @bulldogfan26 @JayBilas But but but “tHaT’s nOt hOw iT uSeD tO bE!!!!??!?!!”

@WinterSportsLaw @bulldogfan26 @JayBilas If the current law prohibits college athletics from being COLLEGE athletics, change the law

You can absolutely criticize President Trump, I do it daily with the Iran war and our foreign relations. But if you read this as a college sports fan and your immediate response was anything but positive then you need to take a step away from the political ledge.

President Donald Trump's executive order regulating college sports: - College athletes can only play a maximum of 5 seasons in a 5-year window - Maximum of one transfer before graduation, otherwise, need to sit a full season - Schools that violate risk losing federal funding
English
@DPHBuckeyes No conference was going to speak out against it. Lololol.
English
Partisan lunatics will still argue against this even though the best conference in sports supports it.

A statement from Commissioner Tony Petitti on the Presidential Executive Order.

@FoylesC @mfarrellsports It’s not going to stick. The 2025 House vs. NCAA settlement has already declared that the NCAA cannot limit transfers in any way, it’s a direct violation of anti-trust laws.
English
@mfarrellsports Well, since being a student is a prerequisite for being a college athlete, I think the 1 transfer will stick. Maybe Sen Tuberville has the right idea — 1 free transfer then must sit out a year for transfer after that?
English
Don’t be fooled, this Trump EO won’t change much. Lawsuits will increase.
I’d love 5 for 5, not in love with the one transfer restriction which will be the sticking point and won’t be enforceable.
It’s a step towards helping return HS recruiting and less portal reliance for sure but I don’t think it will be adhered to as much as people think. And it won’t stick.
English
@CFBChuckk Brother we agree. My original tweet was in response to reading though your replies.
English
@CFBChuckk No it’s pretty obvious. I’m not mad at college athetes for making money and being able to transfer.
English
@HecoxMichelle @heitner Not if it passes through congress either bipartisan support. This is one bill (thanks to Tommy Tuberville) that will actually get bipartisan support.
English
Who will be the first state attorney general to challenge President Trump’s executive order to reform college sports transfers and NIL rules? Will it be a group of AGs? How long until the first lawsuit is filed?
Ross Dellenger@RossDellenger
Trump's EO also invalidates certain state laws that conflict with his executive order
English
The one time transfer rule needs to be added ASAP
People shouldn’t be able to transfer 4 times in 4 years
You should have to RS after the 1st transfer

NEW: President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order regulating college sports, @PeteNakos reports✍️ Athletes will have one free undergraduate transfer. Details: on3.com/news/donald-tr…

@Riley_Gaines_ And it will be challenged and overturned immediately. Cry more.
English
President Trump just signed an EO reining in NIL chaos.
No more seven year freshmen. Fantastic news.
English
@SenTuberville The transfer portal isn’t ruining anything. You’re washed, sit this one out.
English
Glad to see President Trump take action to fix the broken transfer portal that’s ruining college sports.
I introduced the Student-Athlete Act last week. My bill would make the EO permanent.
College athletes should get 5 consecutive years to play 5 seasons and 1 free transfer. After that, if you transfer, you sit out a year. It’s simple.
I look forward to my bill being brought to a vote soon.

BREAKING: President Trump's executive order on college sports is expected as early as this afternoon, sources tell @CBSSports. Key directives on player eligibility and movement: 5 years to play 5 seasons and one free undergraduate transfer. Story: cbssports.com/college-footba…

President Trump’s executive order on college sports is below. Three key provisions: 1. Five years of total eligibility 2. Only “one” free transfer without sitting. 3. No players can return from pros. Goes into effect on 8/1. Common sense & solid: whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…
English
@CFBChuckk Yet every serious person wants it to happen. Every word of that EO is common sense.
English
@AdamSchefter People thinking this is going to stick are delusional.
English
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday designed to limit how long athletes can play college sports and how often they can transfer between schools.

@AdamSchefter Thank god . Regardless if you love him or hate him or think he shouldn’t worry about this and focus on other things ……… this is a good thing let’s just take the W

@On3 @PeteNakos It will be challenged immediately and will be overturned.

@LandonTengwall Gen X wants shit like it used to be. You transfer - you sit out a year. Should keep it at 4 years eligibility. An added year is just corporations wanting to milk the system. Not all that money goes to the kids….
English
Doubtful that any of this would hold up in Court
