President Trump on Friday will unveil a new commission to reform the business of college sports – including the controversial “name, image and likeness” framework for student athletes – and will be tapping one of New York’s smartest and toughest executives for the task, On The Money has learned. New York Yankees President Randy Levine will serve as vice chair of Trump’s new “Saving College Sports Roundtable,” a group of some two dozen executives and athletes from the college and professional levels, to fix the financial side of college sports, including the insane money grab known by its acronym NIL, people close to the matter say. A longtime college sports fan, Trump sees what has happened to a system where athletes used to spend four years playing for one school, receiving an athletic scholarship for free tuition.
