Trump recently showed love to U.S. athletes after their recent success at the 2026 Winter Olympics, including Team USA goaltender Connor Hellebuyck and the men’s hockey team that won a gold medal.

However, the U.S. president is now assembling a star-studded panel to tackle college basketball, college football and other sports issues. According to Yahoo Sports, Donald Trump is inviting Tiger Woods, Nick Saban and various other key figures to tackle these problems.

In the past, Trump has been a big proponent of college sports, especially attending big college football games. He’s been at several College Football Playoff games and also has a close relationship with Saban and others.

Meanwhile, with NIL and the transfer portal troubles growing in collegiate athletics perhaps Trump’s initiative could spark some results.

In January, the New York Times detailed the astounding costs for schools to pay for college football players based on their positions. That included a rough range of $1 million to $4 million for transfer quarterbacks.
