Trump signs executive order targeting college sports eligibility and transfer rules with federal funding threats

President Trump signed an executive order on Friday aimed at reforming college sports by implementing stricter eligibility and transfer rules, threatening to cut federal funding to schools that don't comply. The order calls for a five-year participation window for athletes and limits transfers to once during that period, with an additional transfer allowed after obtaining a four-year degree. The order directs federal agencies to ensure compliance and instructs Congress to act on permanent legislation.
