NCAA President Charlie Baker expressed openness to a proposed commission by President Trump aimed at addressing issues in collegiate athletics. Speaking informally, Baker remarked on the heightened interest from Washington regarding college sports, stating that clarity is needed amidst a confusing landscape of varying state laws and the debate over student-athlete employment status. While no framework for the commission has been established yet, Baker emphasized the importance of addressing these concerns collectively rather than through individual lawsuits.
"I think the fact that there's an interest on the executive side on this, I think it speaks to the fact that everybody is paying a lot of attention right now to what's going on in college sports."
"People in our office have talked to folks who are working on this, but I don't think they've decided the framework around who they want to put on."
"Creating clarity one lawsuit at a time is just a really bad way to try to move forward."
