Trump's appearance at the collegiate championships will mark his first visit to Pennsylvania since beginning his second term as president. His presence at the NCAA wrestling will coincide with March Madness, which includes the NCAA Division I Basketball Tournament, featuring single elimination games.

He is seen making multiple appearances at high-end sporting events, including the Dayton 500 and Super Bowl LIX, becoming the first sitting president to attend the electrifying night. The 1968 Penn graduate will attend the sporting event that is scheduled at Drexel University and the University of Pennsylvania. He also attended the 2023 NCAA Championships held in Tulsa, Oklahoma, when Penn State took home the national title.

President Donald Trump's administration recently froze approximately $175 million in federal funding for the University of Pennsylvania. The decision was influenced by an event that included the participation of a transgender swimmer in the women's category.

President Trump signed the executive order on February 5, 2025, in the East Room at the White House. The order enforces the educational institutions that receive federal funding to follow the Trump administration’s understanding of “sex," which is the gender one was assigned at birth.

The Department of Education is investigating Penn University for Title IX violations following Lia Thomas, the first openly transgender woman, who competed in the women's category for Penn State during the 2021-2022 season. She competed in the 200-yard freestyle event, tying for fifth place alongside Riley Gaines.

The 2025 NCAA Division I Men's Wrestling National Championships will feature 330 athletes vying for the prestigious title.
