No matter what you think of Trump, he’s the President, and he needs to lead the fight to save college football in America.
It’s that important of an issue, and he’d be doing millions of people a disservice if he sat it out. College communities depend on money from the sport to survive.
If you don’t believe that, then you’re willingly sticking your head in the sand.

We’ve already lost the Big 10 and the PAC-12. There’s nothing we can do to save them, and that’s the unfortunate reality of the situation.
However, there’s still time to save the ACC, SEC and the Big 12. Judging from the fact Trump has picked up the phone to make some calls, it seems like he’s invested in getting the job done.
