USOPC Statement on the Executive Order: Urgent National Action to Save College Sports

"President Trump's executive order sends an important signal about the value of preserving and promoting investment in women's and men's collegiate Olympic sports in America.

In order to preserve opportunities for the next generation of athletes across the great range of college sports — whose collegiate athletic experiences help shape future leaders in academia, business, science, and beyond — we must ensure sustained, meaningful investment in collegiate Olympic sports.

We are grateful to the President for his continued leadership on this issue, and look forward to working with Democratic and Republican lawmakers in Congress to advance legislation that secures a strong and lasting future for collegiate athletes nationwide."
