Finebaum Urges Trump Roundtable to Deliver Real Change in College Sports

Paul Finebaum says he hopes President Trump’s White House roundtable on college sports will produce real change, not just headlines, amid growing frustration over NIL and the transfer portal.

Finebaum appeared on McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning, expressing hope that the meeting will bring swift action. He criticized the idea that the roundtable could be a circus and urged that any progress happen within weeks, not years.

The roundtable will feature high‑profile figures such as Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, Power‑Four commissioners, Tiger Woods and NBA commissioner Adam Silver. Finebaum warned that the sport’s current structure is unsustainable and that the gathering could be a critical inflection point for college athletics.
