Isn't Nico Godsick Mary Joe-Fernandes' kid?

That guy residing in Pennsylvania Avenue signed an Executive Order yesterday under the title "URGENT NATIONAL ACTION TO SAVE COLLEGE SPORTS" that, in the most simplest terms reverses many of the changes that have come about over the last few years as a consequence of litigation and federal courts ruling that previous practices breach anti-trust laws. The Executive Order:
* Restricts college athletes to 5 years eligibility
* Bans professional athletes from returning to college sports
* Bans collective NIL schemes - what they term as "fraudulent" NIL activities.
* Restricts student athletes to 1 transfer before graduation
* Bans women's and Olympic sports from being cut to fund other athletics programs and revenue sharing schemes.

The Executive Order comes into force on 1 August and any University that does not comply is threatened with having federal funds cut.

It is expected that legal action will be brought against it and one sports lawyer has said Universities will be forced to choose between going against a federal court order or an executive order.

 Also

• Visa/Immigration Vetting: Orders have mandated that the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice increase screening for F-1 and J-1 international students, which directly impacts private universities' enrolment and compliance teams. 

 Recent reports indicate that international players now account for:

* **61%** of Division I men's tennis players .

* **66%** of Division I women's tennis players .

Wonder what Trump thinks of these figures? Hopefully he has no interest in tennis!

I have mentioned before that my son knew an international tennis player from Mexico who was forced to return home following a speeding offence (40 in a 30) even though his student visa was all in order

For context, the ball bounced on his side of the net and backspin took it back over the net

 Absolutely not legal 

The ball hadn't gone dead before he landed

As explained well in the New York Times
