Summary
The liberal media may hate Donald Trump but they’re not telling you the full story about how he’s saving college sports. In this episode of The Real Story, Dr. Phil breaks down how NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) changed everything — turning college athletics into a billion-dollar, pay-to-play system. What started as a way to fairly compensate athletes has turned into a nightmare for those of us who love college sports. So what does Trump’s executive order actually do — and why are so many leaders inside college sports supporting it?
Comment below — do you think college sports are being saved?
