Trump warns college sports could be ‘lost forever’ as committee pushes changes, Congress urged to act

President Donald Trump is ramping up pressure on Congress to overhaul college sports, warning the system could be «lost forever» as a White House-backed committee pushes sweeping changes to rein in athlete pay, transfers and soaring costs.
The proposals include creating a task force to examine pooled media rights, limits on coaching salaries, rewritten eligibility rules and changes to the transfer portal, according to a draft document obtained by Yahoo Sports and reported by The Associated Press.
The push builds on a recent executive order from Trump, which described college athletics as an «out-of-control financial arms race» fueled by loosening rules around player compensation, transfers and eligibility — and urged federal action before the system destabilizes further.
The White House said the current model is «driving universities into debt,» threatening women’s and Olympic sports and undermining student-athletes’ educational opportunities.

«Further delay is not an option given what is at stake,» the order states, citing roughly 500,000 annual educational, athletic and leadership opportunities and nearly $4 billion in scholarships.
Trump has also raised alarms about the direction of college sports, saying during a White House roundtable last month that «crazy things are happening» as players stay in school longer and earn more through NIL deals, according to previous Fox News Digital reporting.
The draft proposal calls on Congress to quickly pass legislation creating a task force with an antitrust exemption and authority to override individual state laws, a major priority for NCAA and college sports leaders seeking national standards.

Among the most divisive ideas is pooling media rights across conferences, a move opposed by the Southeastern Conference and Big Ten but backed by a group led by Texas Tech regent Cody Campbell, who has argued it could add billions in value, according to AP.
The draft also calls for rules targeting «salary-cap circumvention,» an apparent reference to schools using third-party NIL deals to get around current limits on direct payments to athletes.
That issue is already at the center of an arbitration case brought by Nebraska football players whose NIL deals were rejected by the College Sports Commission, which reviews third-party contracts.

Trump’s executive order also directs agencies that contract with or give grants to higher education institutions to evaluate certain violations of college athletics rules, including eligibility limits, transfers, revenue sharing and «improper financial activities.»
The order defines those activities to include fraudulent NIL schemes, use of federal funds for NIL or revenue-sharing payments and interference with contracts between student-athletes and other schools.
The White House also urged college athletics governing bodies to clarify rules before Aug. 1, including limits on eligibility, transfer rules, medical care for athletes and protections for women’s and Olympic sports.

Congress has been stalled for more than a year on legislation codifying parts of the House settlement that put revenue-sharing into place, according to AP.
The draft committee document calls for lawmakers to act before Congress leaves for its traditional August recess.
Without a national solution, the administration has warned, the financial pressure created by football and basketball could force schools to cut other sports or reshape college athletics entirely.

Condenan en EEUU a hondureño que traficaba fentanilo y metanfetamina ocultos en cajas de cereal
Un ciudadano hondureño de 30 años fue condenado a cuatro años y seis meses de prisión por un tribunal federal de Estados Unidos, luego de ser hallado culpable de participar en operaciones de narcotráfico relacionadas con metanfetamina y fentanilo, así como por regresar ilegalmente al país tras haber sido deportado anteriormente.
La sentencia fue dictada en el Tribunal de Distrito de Estados Unidos en Seattle y anunciada por el primer fiscal auxiliar de Estados Unidos, Charles Neil Floyd.
El acusado, identificado como Jorge Aguilar Martínez, había sido arrestado en octubre de 2025 durante una operación encabezada por autoridades federales.
Durante la audiencia de sentencia, el juez federal James Robart cuestionó duramente la conducta del hondureño y aseguró que sus acciones estuvieron motivadas únicamente por el beneficio económico, sin considerar las consecuencias mortales que el tráfico de fentanilo genera en miles de familias estadounidenses.
“Las pastillas de fentanilo han demostrado ser letales”, expresó el juez Robart ante el tribunal.
Además, advirtió sobre la facilidad con la que una sola dosis puede causar la muerte. “Es muy fácil conseguir una pastilla de fentanilo que contenga una dosis mortal”, agregó.
Según los documentos judiciales, Aguilar Martínez actuó como intermediario entre un comprador de drogas que colaboraba con las autoridades y varios individuos que afirmaban tener la capacidad de suministrar grandes cantidades de metanfetamina y pastillas de fentanilo.
Las investigaciones revelaron que el hondureño ayudó a coordinar contactos y facilitar negociaciones para concretar la entrega de los narcóticos.
Una vez pactada la operación, agentes federales ejecutaron un operativo en el que arrestaron al acusado y a otros dos presuntos cómplices vinculados a la red criminal.
Durante el procedimiento, las autoridades decomisaron aproximadamente 13 kilos de metanfetamina y alrededor de 10,000 pastillas de fentanilo.
Parte de la droga estaba escondida dentro de cajas de cereal, una estrategia utilizada por los traficantes para intentar ocultar el cargamento y evitar ser detectados por las fuerzas de seguridad.
Las autoridades federales señalaron que la cantidad de droga incautada representaba un riesgo significativo para la salud pública, especialmente debido al alto nivel de mortalidad asociado al consumo de fentanilo en Estados Unidos.
Los otros dos sospechosos detenidos junto a Aguilar Martínez también enfrentaron cargos federales. Sin embargo, ambos obtuvieron libertad bajo fianza mientras esperaban el desarrollo de sus procesos judiciales.
Posteriormente, las autoridades confirmaron que los dos habían ingresado ilegalmente a territorio estadounidense y fueron deportados antes de que sus casos avanzaran en los tribunales.
En la petición de sentencia presentada ante la corte, los fiscales solicitaron una condena de cinco años de prisión y describieron el caso como parte de una problemática nacional vinculada al aumento del narcotráfico y la crisis del fentanilo.
“La crisis de las drogas es uno de los desafíos más importantes que enfrenta este distrito y el país entero”, indicaron los fiscales en su escrito judicial.
Asimismo, sostuvieron que la conducta del acusado reflejaba una “total falta de respeto por la ley” y una “indiferencia insensible hacia el bienestar y la seguridad de los demás”.
Aunque Aguilar Martínez no tenía condenas previas por delitos de drogas, el tribunal tomó en consideración que había sido arrestado anteriormente por actividades relacionadas con narcóticos.
El juez Robart también valoró negativamente el hecho de que el hondureño reingresara a Estados Unidos poco tiempo después de haber sido deportado en 2024.
Para el juez, esa acción constituyó una clara muestra de desprecio hacia las leyes migratorias estadounidenses y fue un elemento relevante al momento de definir la pena.
Una vez que cumpla la condena de 54 meses de prisión, Aguilar Martínez deberá permanecer bajo libertad supervisada durante cuatro años en caso de regresar a Estados Unidos.
Las autoridades prevén que sea deportado nuevamente tras finalizar su sentencia.
La investigación del caso fue desarrollada por el Servicio de Investigaciones de Seguridad Nacional (HSI), mientras que el proceso judicial está siendo dirigido por la fiscal adjunta especial Charlotte Storey, representante del Servicio de Inspección Postal de Estados Unidos en tribunales federales.

Jenkinson was released on bail on the condition that he doesn’t enter the county of Norfolk, attempt any contact with Andrew, and he must stay 500 meters away from Sandringham, Buckingham Palace, Balmoral Castle, Windsor Castle and Highgrove.
