The commission is paused indefinitely as members of Congress pursue legislation in hopes of addressing major issues facing college sports.

Following Nick Saban's comments this week that a commission on college sports isn't necessary, the White House is reportedly halting those plans at least for the time being.

The White House isn't coming to save college sports just yet. Plans for the presidential commission on college sports have been put on hold, according to Yahoo! Sports' Ross Dellenger, just two weeks after President Trump's trip to Alabama for the school's commencement ceremony had led to the idea of a working group being floated publicly.
