Reacting, NCAA President Charlie Baker in a statement said the order provided a “clear, national standard.”
According to Fox News, Baker stated that the NCAA Board of Governors would review it and take steps to align the organization’s policy in the coming days.
“We strongly believe that clear, consistent and uniform eligibility standards would best serve today’s student-athletes instead of a patchwork of conflicting state laws and court decisions.
“To that end, President Trump’s order provides a clear, national standard”, he said.
