That would change due to Trump&rsquo;s executive order. He said the NCAA is reviewing the policy change and will begin implementing changes to comply with Trump&rsquo;s directive. He also announced that the NCAA would be ready to support any athlete affected by the new guidelines.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The NCAA Board of Governors is reviewing the executive order and will take necessary steps to align NCAA policy in the coming days, subject to further guidance from the administration.
