President Donald Trump is reportedly considering an executive order to begin regulating name, image and likeness after meeting with Nick Saban.
Name, image and likeness is taking college sports by storm, and it might take the government to slow it down.
After meeting with Alabama head coach Nick Saban Thursday, President Donald Trump is reportedly considering an executive order to regulate NIL deals in college athletics.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Saban told Trump the influx of money has hurt college sports. Saban does not want to halt NIL payments but wants them «reformed.»
In an appearance on Fox News Channel last year, Saban urged Congress to step in and make NIL «equal across the board.»
«And I think that should still exist for all players, but not just a pay-for-play system like we have now where whoever raises the most money in their collective can pay the most for the players, which is not a level playing field.
