Former University of Alabama coach Nick Saban will co-chair President Donald Trump’s commission on college athletics, according to The Athletic.
According to Yahoo! Sports, the commission is expected to “deeply examine the unwieldy landscape of college sports, including the frequency of player movement in the transfer portal, the unregulated booster compensation paid to athletes, the debate of college athlete employment, preserving the Olympic sport structure, the application of Title IX to school revenue-share payments and, even, conference membership makeup and conference television contracts.”
Trump hasn’t officially announced the commission yet. Trump met with Saban before he gave a commencement address to University of Alabama graduates last week.
