Trump Signs Order to Safeguard Student-Athletes

In a move aimed at safeguarding student-athletes, U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order focused on the preservation and expansion of collegiate athletic scholarships and opportunities. The White House announced the initiative on Thursday, underscoring its commitment to student-athletes nationwide.

The executive order specifically addresses the need for continued support and potential growth in women's and non-revenue sports, which often struggle for resources compared to their revenue-generating counterparts. The White House emphasized the importance of maintaining inclusivity and equal opportunities for all student-athletes, regardless of the financial return of their sports.

This order is part of a broader agenda by the Trump administration to ensure that educational opportunities remain accessible and diverse. By prioritizing these non-revenue sports, the government aims to sustain a balanced collegiate athletic environment.
