President Trump Signs Executive Order On Transfer Portal and NIL

ESPN— President Donald Trump signed an executive order targeting what he and supporters view as disorder in college athletics, particularly regarding the transfer portal and player eligibility rules. The order would generally allow athletes only one free transfer and limit their careers to about five years, aiming to impose structure on a system increasingly compared to professional free agency. It also seeks to regulate the financial side of college sports by restricting NIL deals and outside “collectives” that provide money to players, which the administration says has created instability and unfairness. Non-compliant schools could face the loss of federal funding, adding pressure to adhere to the new rules. Advocates believe the measure could restore balance and protect smaller programs, while critics warn it may curtail athlete freedom and provoke legal challenges, given recent court decisions expanding players’ rights.

Today's Holidays

Celebrate the weird stuff. We do.

Holiday #1 of 4

Jump Over Things Day

Jump Over Things Day is that annual civic experiment where grown adults decide gravity is a suggestion and household objects are personal insults. The rules are simple: find a thing, jump over it, act like you meant to do that, and pretend your knees won’t send you an invoice tomorrow. It’s not about athleticism; it’s about proving you still have a flicker of reckless optimism left in your body, right next to the ibuprofen. Stick around, because once the jumping starts, the excuses get creative and the regret shows up early.
