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.

Trump DOJ unleashes largest denaturalization effort in department history — and says it’s ‘only the beginning’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
FIRST ON FOX: The Department of Justice is moving to revoke the citizenship of more than two dozen individuals who the DOJ said committed crimes ranging from attempted murder to child sexual abuse to identity fraud, marking its largest citizenship revocation surge on record, Fox News Digital learned Monday.
«U.S. citizenship is one of our nation’s highest privileges, and it must be obtained lawfully and honestly,» Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told Fox News Digital on Monday.
«The complaints announced today allege that these individuals secured naturalization through fraud, concealment, or other unlawful conduct— including by concealing violent crimes, sexual offenses against children, fraudulent identities, and other disqualifying facts,» said Blanche.
The complaints against the 25 individuals, filed between July 20 and Aug. 3, involve naturalized U.S. citizens who are natives of 17 countries: Pakistan, Moldova, India, Mexico, Colombia, Nigeria, Liberia, Ghana, Jamaica, Taiwan, Honduras, Cameroon, Jordan, Cuba, El Salvador, Haiti and Sweden, Fox News Digital learned. The DOJ told Fox News Digital later Monday that it had added another case, raising the number of people facing denaturalization from 24 to 25.

«Today’s filings represent the largest coordinated denaturalization effort in Department history, but they are only the beginning. The Justice Department will continue to use every tool available to protect the integrity of the naturalization process and the safety of the American people,» Blanche added.
The cases bring the department’s total denaturalization filings to 88 since Jan. 20, 2025, as the Trump administration ramps up efforts to strip citizenship from individuals it says obtained it unlawfully.
The cases span a wide range of alleged conduct that the Justice Department says should have disqualified the individuals from obtaining or keeping U.S. citizenship.
The complaints involve allegations including attempted murder, child sexual abuse, domestic violence, marriage fraud, identity fraud, passport fraud, bank and credit card fraud, and practicing medicine without a license, among other offenses.
«Today marks the largest denaturalization surge in recorded history,» said Justice Department’s Civil Division Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate told Fox News Digital.

«Every one of these individuals committed crimes incompatible with U.S. citizenship. We are moving at record speed to denaturalize those who sought to deceive the federal government and abuse the naturalization process.»
In one case, the department seeks to denaturalize a man in North Carolina convicted of attempted first-degree murder and assault with a deadly weapon after obtaining citizenship through military service but allegedly failing to meet the required period of honorable service.

Prosecutors also allege a naturalized citizen in South Carolina concealed a violent assault in which he beat and choked his wife, later pleading guilty to assault and battery after the attack left her hospitalized.
In June, DOJ moved to revoke 17 individuals from 13 different countries over allegations of child sexual abuse, narcotics trafficking and large-scale financial fraud.

Costa Rica vuelve a destacar entre los mejores destinos del mundo para jubilados, según Forbes
Costa Rica fue incluida nuevamente entre los mejores lugares del mundo para que ciudadanos disfruten su etapa de retiro, según la edición 2026 del ranking de destinos internacionales para jubilados elaborado por la revista Forbes.
La clasificación analizó 96 destinos ubicados en 24 países de cinco continentes, tomando en cuenta factores como costo de vida, impuestos, calidad y precio de los servicios médicos, seguridad, estabilidad política, facilidad para regresar a Estados Unidos, integración social, requisitos migratorios y riesgos asociados al cambio climático.
El país centroamericano destacó por una combinación de características que durante años han atraído a jubilados extranjeros: naturaleza, tranquilidad, acceso a servicios, cercanía con Norteamérica y un estilo de vida menos acelerado que el de muchas ciudades estadounidenses.
Según Forbes, Costa Rica mantiene un atractivo especial para quienes buscan retirarse cerca de espacios naturales. Sus playas en ambos océanos, los bosques tropicales y la diversidad ecológica fueron señalados como algunos de los principales motivos por los cuales el país continúa apareciendo en este tipo de rankings internacionales.
Además, el informe resalta que el costo de vida es considerablemente menor al promedio estadounidense, mientras que la seguridad es valorada como relativamente alta en comparación con otros destinos internacionales y el sistema político es considerado estable.
Sin embargo, el análisis también menciona algunos desafíos. Entre ellos destaca el impacto de la temporada lluviosa, especialmente las inundaciones que afectan distintas zonas del territorio nacional y que representan uno de los principales riesgos para residentes locales y extranjeros.
Uno de los puntos destacados por Forbes fue el sistema de salud costarricense. El ranking señala que en las principales ciudades del país existe atención médica de alta calidad a costos accesibles y menciona la posibilidad de que residentes extranjeros jubilados se incorporen a la Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social (CCSS).
El informe indica que algunos jubilados pueden pagar alrededor de $150 mensuales por la cobertura, aunque en la práctica la contribución depende de los ingresos declarados y de la situación particular de cada residente extranjero.
El idioma español aparece como un elemento recomendable para facilitar la adaptación, aunque Forbes señala que no representa una barrera determinante debido a la presencia de comunidades extranjeras y servicios orientados a residentes internacionales.
En materia migratoria, el país también conserva una ventaja competitiva. La publicación destaca la categoría de residencia para pensionados, conocida como “pensionado”, que permite a extranjeros con ingresos permanentes solicitar autorización para vivir legalmente en Costa Rica.
Este régimen exige demostrar una pensión vitalicia de al menos $1,000 mensuales y otorga una residencia temporal renovable por periodos de dos años, de acuerdo con la normativa migratoria costarricense. Además, el país permite a visitantes estadounidenses permanecer como turistas durante varios meses mientras completan sus trámites de residencia.
Otro aspecto señalado fue el sistema tributario. Forbes resalta que Costa Rica no grava los ingresos generados fuera del territorio nacional, una característica relacionada con su modelo de tributación territorial. Aunque Estados Unidos y Costa Rica no cuentan con un tratado específico para evitar la doble imposición, los ingresos extranjeros de muchos jubilados no son sujetos al impuesto costarricense.
Entre las zonas recomendadas aparecen San José, el Valle Central y comunidades como Atenas, reconocida internacionalmente por su clima templado. También se menciona Santa Cruz, en Guanacaste, como una alternativa atractiva para quienes buscan cercanía con playas y comunidades de extranjeros.
El Valle Central continúa siendo una de las regiones preferidas por jubilados internacionales debido a su cercanía con hospitales, servicios, el aeropuerto internacional y costos generalmente más bajos que algunas zonas costeras de alta demanda.
Costa Rica comparte la lista con otros destinos que compiten por atraer a esta población, entre ellos Panamá, México, Belice, Colombia, Uruguay, Portugal, España, Francia, Italia, Tailandia y Vietnam.
El ranking de este año también incorporó con mayor peso los riesgos climáticos. Algunos destinos europeos fueron retirados debido a factores como incendios forestales y temperaturas extremas, mientras que otros países fueron descartados por altos niveles de vulnerabilidad ante fenómenos naturales.
Costa Rica, que ha aparecido durante años en listas similares, mantiene su presencia gracias a una combinación de factores que siguen siendo valorados por los jubilados extranjeros: estabilidad, naturaleza, servicios médicos, cercanía geográfica con Estados Unidos y opciones migratorias accesibles.
No obstante, el escenario internacional cambia constantemente y cada edición de estos rankings refleja nuevas prioridades, especialmente aquellas relacionadas con seguridad, sostenibilidad y capacidad de los países para enfrentar los efectos del cambio climático.
