President Trump attends NCAA Wrestling Championships, hosts delayed Chiefs and Dodgers White House visits, and weighs in on NCAA sports controversies, with major updates in college athletics and NIL rules.
‘SPECIAL’ MOMENT – President Donald Trump made quite the entrance at the NCAA Wrestling Championships in Philadelphia, catching the attention of both athletes and fans. Oklahoma State's Wyatt Hendrickson stunned the crowd with an upset victory to claim the national title and later described Trump's presence as "special." Seems like even on the mat, Trump knows how to steal the show.
WELCOME TO D.C. – After a long delay thanks to the pandemic, President Trump confirmed the Kansas City Chiefs are finally getting their long-overdue White House visit to celebrate their Super Bowl LIV victory. A little late, but hey, better late than never!
'GREAT HONOR' – In baseball news, the reigning World Series champs Los Angeles Dodgers are heading to Washington for their White House visit. Manager Dave Roberts hailed the invite as a "great honor." Here's hoping they get a presidential tour of the West Wing while they're at it.
TOO LATE – In a classic Trump move, he missed the deadline to submit a March Madness bracket but casually suggested he could "backdate" one. If only the NCAA rules worked like that, right?
FOLLOW SUIT? – World Athletics introduced cheek swab tests for athletes competing in women’s sports, sparking calls for the NCAA to follow suit. This could be the start of significant changes in the sporting world.
NOT APOLOGIZING – Maine's Governor Janet Mills isn’t backing down after Trump demanded an apology over her state’s refusal to adhere to his executive order on trans athlete policies. Her response? It’s all about "the rule of law." Talk about standing her ground.
'TICKED OFF' – Michigan State's legendary basketball coach Tom Izzo wasn’t having it when asked about the NCAA transfer portal ahead of the Spartans’ Sweet 16 matchup with Ole Miss. Rant alert: he’s not a fan of the timing.
FROM FOX SPORTS – College basketball just upped the stakes with a groundbreaking Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) prize pool. Winning teams will now get a $300,000 NIL package. Game on!
FROM OUTKICK – Auburn coach Bruce Pearl had more than basketball on his mind after the Tigers’ victory over Creighton in the NCAA men’s tournament. Pearl’s comments show sports aren't always just about the game.
WATCH NOW – The Giants signed Russell Wilson, adding him to a roster that already includes quarterback Jameis Winston. FOX Sports' Colin Cowherd dives into what this means for the franchise's future. Watch here …

From wrestling mats to March Madness brackets, Trump sure has a knack for making headlines in every corner of the sports world. The Chiefs finally getting their White House moment is a nice touch, but the fact that he missed the March Madness deadline and suggested 'backdating' it? Classic Trump chaos. Also, cheek swab tests in sports? That’s bound to stir up some debates. Stay tuned!
