Inside Trump’s College Sports Roundtable

Big East commissioner Val Ackerman joins Front Office Sports days ahead of the Big East tournament—just days after attending President Donald Trump’s White House roundtable on college sports.

She breaks down her roundtable takeaways, the SCORE Act, and why going back to the pre-NIL era is not realistic.

Plus, she talks about the revenue-sharing era and what it means for basketball-only schools, her position on March Madness expansion, and what the WNBA CBA fight looks like through the lens of someone who ran the league from the beginning.
