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.

El presidente surcoreano le pidió ayuda a Donald Trump para lograr la paz con Corea del Norte, como lo hizo “en Medio Oriente”
El presidente de Corea del Sur, Lee Jae-myung, solicitó a su homólogo estadounidense, Donald Trump, que lo ayude a alcanzar la paz con Corea del Norte, “tal como resolvió el conflicto en Medio Oriente”. Según un comunicado de la oficina presidencial surcoreana, durante una conversación mantenida en la cumbre del G7 en Francia, Trump consultó a Lee sobre los avances en las relaciones intercoreanas.
La petición se produjo en el contexto de la inminente firma de un memorando de entendimiento entre Washington e Irán para poner fin a su guerra, un hecho que ha alimentado la expectativa de que la administración de Trump podría concentrarse a continuación en la península coreana. El mandatario estadounidense avivó esa especulación tras anunciar el acuerdo con Teherán al publicar en sus redes sociales una imagen junto al dictador norcoreano Kim Jong-un, tomada durante su cumbre de 2018 en Singapur.
En el diálogo entre el mandatario estadounidense y el surcoreano, “el presidente Lee le pidió que él (Trump) tomara la iniciativa para lograr una resolución pacífica de la cuestión norcoreana, tal como resolvió el conflicto en Medio Oriente”. El boletín añadió que el inquilino de la Casa Blanca “expresó su compromiso de trabajar” para alcanzar esa distensión.
El presidente Lee mantiene una postura conciliadora hacia Corea del Norte, en contraste con la más firme de su predecesor, Yoon Suk Yeol. En esa línea, el Ministerio de Defensa de Seúl anunció nuevas normas que amplían el acceso público a la zona fronteriza altamente militarizada, permitiendo a los civiles acercarse varios kilómetros más al límite con Corea del Norte.
Las dos Coreas continúan técnicamente en guerra desde 1953, cuando el conflicto finalizó con un armisticio y no con un tratado de paz, y se hallan separadas por una zona desmilitarizada. Por años, la Línea de Control Civil (CCL) restringió el paso de surcoreanos a menos de 10 kilómetros al sur de la frontera fortificada. El ministro de Defensa, Ahn Gyu-back, informó que la CCL se reducirá a un promedio de 6 kilómetros, lo que incrementará el acceso para residentes, agricultores y visitantes.
Pyongyang rechazó en reiteradas ocasiones los intentos de acercamiento de Lee, calificando oficialmente a Seúl como su enemigo “más hostil” y reafirmando su condición de estado nuclear “irreversible”. Analistas especializados en la península coreana consideran que las probabilidades de un nuevo encuentro entre Kim Jong-un y Trump son bajas.
Cabe recordar que Corea del Sur y Estados Unidos restablecieron la referencia a la desnuclearización de Corea del Norte en la declaración conjunta emitida tras una reunión clave sobre asuntos nucleares en Seúl la semana pasada. El texto, correspondiente a la sexta sesión del Grupo Consultivo Nuclear (NCG) y difundido la noche del jueves, señala que ambos países “reafirmaron su objetivo común de lograr la desnuclearización de Corea del Norte”.
En la anterior sesión del NCG, celebrada en diciembre en Washington, se había omitido toda mención directa al régimen norcoreano y a la desnuclearización de la península, hecho que alimentó especulaciones acerca de un posible intento de facilitar un acercamiento entre el presidente estadounidense, Donald Trump, y el dictador norcoreano, Kim Jong-un.
El retorno del compromiso bilateral ocurre después de la reciente cumbre en Pyongyang entre Kim y el líder chino, Xi Jinping, en la que no se abordó públicamente el tema. La Casa Blanca sostuvo que, tras la reunión del mes pasado entre Trump y Xi en Beijing, ambos mandatarios ratificaron el objetivo compartido de desnuclearizar el territorio norcoreano.

GOP Gov DeWine urges Ohio to abolish the death penalty, says it is no longer a deterrent
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, on Tuesday announced support for abolishing capital punishment in his state, reaffirming his change of heart on the policy he helped write as a legislator 45 years ago to reinstate the death penalty in Ohio.
DeWine, who has repeatedly postponed executions during his time as governor, pointed to data showing that the death penalty does not serve as a deterrent to violent crime.
«For the state to take a human life, there must, in my opinion, there must be evidence that in doing so it will help protect the public, that the threat of that action will deter someone from committing murder,» DeWine said at a news conference.
«I do not believe that argument today can be successfully made, nor do I believe that there’s any chance in the future the facts that I’ve cited to support that belief will change,» he said. «Therefore, I believe Ohio should abolish the death penalty.»

As he made his case, DeWine brought out charts and graphs showing the decline in both the number of death sentences handed down by courts and the quantity of executions being carried out. The data also showed the exceedingly long wait times as legal appeals play out for inmates on death row.
The governor said condemned murderers are increasingly unlikely to be executed, as they sometimes die by natural causes or by suicide before they can be executed.
«Even if the murderer is caught, indicted, convicted and sentenced to death, the odds are still pretty good they’re not going to be executed,» he said.
«In summary, each decade that the death penalty has been in effect, the chances of a murderer getting executed get more and more and more remote,» he added.
The last 10 people to be executed in Ohio had been on death row between 14 and 32 years, he said. Since the state reinstated capital punishment in 1981 under a law co-written by DeWine, 56 people who received the death sentence have been executed and 41 died by natural causes or suicide while on death row. Another 89 death sentences were overturned due to «judicial action» such as legal errors.
DeWine emphasized the years of pain for victims’ loved ones due to the delays and the impact on the mental health of state employees who work on execution teams.

«I no longer believe the death penalty is a deterrent to murder,» DeWine said. «The moral justification I had for voting for the death penalty simply no longer exists.»
The governor, who is term-limited and cannot seek another term in the 2026 election, said he felt compelled to share his thoughts now after 50 years of experience with the death penalty issue, including as a Greene County prosecutor, a member of the U.S. House and Senate and as Ohio’s attorney general.
However, he said his outright opposition to the death penalty has become solidified in the past year.
DeWine urged the legislature to abolish the death penalty or to leave it up to state residents to vote on the issue, although Republican House Speaker Matt Huffman has said he would oppose such an effort. Other supporters of capital punishment have argued that Ohio’s yearslong execution pause has denied justice to victims’ families and weakened the deterrent effect of death sentences.
DeWine has not authorized an execution since taking office seven years ago, citing, on numerous occasions, pharmaceutical suppliers’ unwillingness to provide the drugs used in lethal injections. Last year, President Donald Trump ordered the U.S. Justice Department to help states to resolve that issue. In January 2025, President Donald Trump ordered the U.S. Justice Department to help states resolve that issue.
The governor has said he expects no more executions during the remainder of his term. Delaying executions has left Ohio with 30 scheduled over the next four years, according to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction. The state has not put an inmate to death since July 18, 2018, before DeWine took office.

«The most important way to protect the public is to lock up violent criminals and to keep them out of society,» DeWine said. «That is a proven way of saving lives and protecting our citizens. Our money and energies are much better spent focusing on keeping these repeat violent offenders out of society.»
Currently, 27 states allow the death penalty while 23 states and Washington, D.C., do not, according to the Death Penalty Information Center.
Since 2019, including that year, three states have abolished capital punishment, while five states now authorize nitrogen hypoxia as an execution method amid ongoing controversy over lethal injection protocols.
At the federal level, Trump has pushed to expand executions. During his first term, 13 federal executions were carried out, which was more than any president in modern history.

Hay 2,4 millones de jóvenes en el padrón de Guatemala hasta junio de 2026, menos que en 2023
El Tribunal Supremo Electoral (TSE) de Guatemala informó que hasta el 15 de junio de 2026 había 2,4 millones de jóvenes empadronados menores de 30 años, por debajo del registro del proceso electoral de 2023. El dato fue analizado por la Comisión de la Juventud del Congreso junto con planes de formación cívica y preparación para las elecciones generales de 2027.
De acuerdo con Omar Alexander Gereda Franco, jefe del Departamento de Inscripción de Ciudadanos y Elaboración de Padrones del TSE, el padrón electoral sumaba 10.095.713 ciudadanos inscritos, de los cuales 2.405.563 correspondían a personas menores de 30 años. Ese grupo representa cerca del 24% de los ciudadanos empadronados en el país.
Gereda explicó que en el proceso electoral de 2023 se registraron aproximadamente 2,5 millones de ciudadanos empadronados de entre 18 y 30 años, dentro de un total de 10,9 millones de electores. La comparación con el registro actualizado para 2026 muestra una disminución en ese segmento de la población electoral.
La reunión de trabajo de la comisión se centró en la participación juvenil en las últimas elecciones, los programas de educación cívica, el empadronamiento juvenil, la inclusión de personas con discapacidad y el presupuesto para iniciativas dirigidas a la juventud.
El diputado Héctor Aldana expresó su preocupación por la falta de información dirigida a grupos juveniles para incentivar su participación en temas electorales. También señaló la necesidad de aprovechar con mayor fuerza las redes sociales y otras herramientas digitales para conectar con ese sector.
La jefa del Departamento de Inscripción de Ciudadanos y Elaboración de Padrones, Virginia García, informó que a finales de julio será lanzada la campaña Alianza Juvenil por la Democracia, orientada a la capacitación y formación de jóvenes voluntarios que participarán en las Juntas Receptoras de Votos en los próximos procesos electorales. Según la representante del programa de Voluntariado Cívico, el proyecto busca fomentar la participación de la juventud y de las personas con discapacidad en los asuntos democráticos del país.
Las autoridades del TSE buscarán apoyo de las organizaciones políticas para fortalecer las secretarías de juventud y ampliar los procesos de capacitación dirigidos a esa población.
Según lo expuesto en la reunión, en los próximos meses se prevé el desarrollo de campañas de empadronamiento y actividades de formación ciudadana enfocadas en jóvenes, con apoyo de universidades, organizaciones sociales e instituciones públicas. Los diputados también plantearon ampliar las oportunidades de participación para jóvenes con discapacidad y promover la participación ciudadana de cara a los comicios de 2027.
En una segunda reunión, la comisión citó a María Victoria Peneleu, viceministra de Previsión Social y Empleo del Ministerio de Trabajo; a Elizabeth Ugalde, viceministra de Desarrollo de la Micro, Pequeña y Mediana Empresa del Ministerio de Economía; y a delegados de la Dirección de Atención y Asistencia al Consumidor para fiscalizar el avance del programa Mi Primer Empleo y otras acciones orientadas a ampliar las oportunidades laborales para los jóvenes.
La funcionaria añadió que el programa mantiene alianzas con 60 empresas en todo el país mediante un esquema de financiamiento compartido: el Estado absorbe el 51% del salario mínimo y las empresas participantes cubren el 49% restante. Durante cuatro meses, los beneficiarios reciben capacitación y adquieren experiencia laboral para facilitar su incorporación al mercado de trabajo.
