My guess is it was the NCAA. Recent Supreme Court cases ruled that colleges are now allowed to pay their athletes, striking down previous NCAA restrictions that banned pay. This order is probably seeking to prevent athletes from transferring all over in exchange for whatever the best pay is, like what happened before the NCAA.

Can’t they make that rule themselves though? Do they need the government to do that for them?

Looks like they’ve basically acknowledged they’ve lobbied for this “Asked why the NCAA needs an executive order to help solve its issues, Baker said, "On some of these issues, it's hard for us to do this without at least some support from the feds. The courts are one way to settle the debate, but it takes a really long time, and it creates a lot of uncertainty."”

Seems like they maybe just wanted to have the president do their dirty work instead of fighting more legal battles themselves
