President Trump is hosting a panel Friday to discuss the future of college athletics.

College sports have changed dramatically in recent years with the additions of Name, Image, Likeness (NIL) and the use of the portal to facilitate transfers. Also, the incredible growth of sports gambling has further complicated the college sports landscape.

Among the panelists scheduled to participate are Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, New York Yankees president Randy Levine, NCAA president Charlie Baker, former coaches Nick Saban and Urban Meyer; sports executives such as NBA commissioner Adam Silver, CEO of the USA Olympic Committee Sarah Hirshland, and New England Patriots president Jonathan Kraft; and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, according to the New York Times.
