I have no idea what Trump is going to tell the commissioners of these leagues, but I’m hoping like hell it’s good news.
Right now, there aren’t any sports going on in America. Obviously, that’s really bad news and people aren’t happy at all.
Sports fans are looking for answers and the leagues are trying to figure out what to do during this pandemic.
Hopefully, Trump provides some clear insight and a path forward on this phone call today.

Having said that, why the hell isn’t the NCAA on this phone call? March Madness has already been canceled, and college football is in big trouble.
We need college football to happen! Trump should 100% be calling the commissioners of the Power Five conferences.
We’re all in this together.#OnWisconsin pic.twitter.com/IZymD7RLya
