White House Press Pool Reports @WHPressPool - In-town pool report #6
On college sports: “we’re fighting hard to save college sports.” Applause from crowd.
Asks crowd whether men should play in women sports. No one raises a hand. Chuckles from crowd as POTUS notes issue’s popularity in elections.
Says will only allow one no-penalty transfer through the portal. And stresses five year eligibility rule. Urges congress to issue permanent reforms. “Football is now destroying the colleges economically.”
