National champion coach wants Trump 'more involved' in NIL regulation: 'Our sport is getting killed'

College football coach Ed Orgeron said he wants President Donald Trump to "be more involved" in NIL regulation, stating that college sports is being "killed."

It has been less than half a decade since Ed Orgeron was last on a football sideline, but the sport has had a generational shakeup in the NIL era.

Coach O won a national championship at LSU with, in his words, "the best transfer ever" in Joe Burrow on a team he said is "up there" among the greatest college football teams ever. But the landscape has changed so much that even President Donald Trump signed a "Saving College Sports" executive order.

What remains of Trump's executive order is a bit of a mystery, but Orgeron wants Trump to be "more involved."

"I think he should be more involved. Something has to happen. Our sport is getting killed, man," Orgeron said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital.

"I love players getting paid. I think it's fair. But I think there ought to be a cap, and the transfer portal, there’s got to be rules on it. It's kind of like the Wild Wild West. I'm talking to coaches, it's like, ‘Hey man, we’re working 24/7, 12 months a year. It's crazy when guys are coming, when they're going.’ But you know what? It’s got to be give and take. Players have got to get a lot, but the schools have got to get some guarantee in return…

"I think the president, he loves football, he's a friend of mine, the more he can step in and stop what's going on in college football, the better off it's going to be."
