President Donald Trump will chair a star-studded roundtable to discuss the future of college sports next month at the White House, ESPN and Yahoo Sports reported.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and New York Yankees president Randy Levine are listed as vice chairs for the March 6 meeting that includes the commissioners of the Power 4 conferences (Atlantic Coast Conference, Big 12, Big Ten and Southeastern Conference).
Also included on the 35-person guest list are golfer Tiger Woods, NBA commissioner Adam Silver, New England Patriots president Jonathan Kraft and former college football coaches Nick Saban, Mack Brown and Urban Meyer.
ESPN chairman Jimmy Pitaro and Fox Sports president Eric Shanks also will attend along with former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, a College Football Playoff selection committee member. Several athletic directors and former college athletes -- including Heisman Trophy winners Tim Tebow and Charlie Ward -- also are in the group.
'It's people who could be involved in helping shape the future of college athletics and some of the solutions and strategies to structuring the athletic world going forward,' said one ESPN source who plans to attend. 'It's so preliminary, it's hard to say anything with any sort of specificity because there hasn't been anything provided to us in writing of that sort yet.'
According to ESPN, no active head coaches were invited to the 'College Sports Roundtable.'
