Had a very productive conversation with Kevin Warren, Commissioner of the Big Ten Conference, about immediately starting up Big Ten football. Would be good (great!) for everyone - Players, Fans, Country. On the one yard line!

quote:

President Donald Trump called Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren this morning to discuss the return to play of Big Ten athletics. The call, which was described as lasting 15 to 20 minutes, was described as a great and productive conversation which was in no way partisan. In fact, both men, President Trump and Commissioner Warren, stated on the call they agreed that football shouldn’t be partisan in any way and that it was important to get sports back in the Big Ten as soon as it was safely possible.

The call, which was scheduled yesterday at the request of the White House, focused on the necessary steps needed to get Big Ten athletics, particularly football, back on the field sooner rather than later.

Commissioner Warren told the president that he was exhausting every measure possible to play. The president promised to make testing and federal resources available to enable a return to Big Ten play. Commissioner Warren now needs for the Big Ten’s return to competition task force to provide him with a list of resources and thresholds necessary for a return to play, which he will then provide to the White House.

I honestly believe that President Trump may be the greatest American of the past 50 years. If he pulls off a Big Ten restart along with his Middle East Peace deal (plus a resounding reelection), it will be amazing.

I will link to MSB favourite Clay Travis as soon as the video addressing this is up.

Ohio will go red regardless in November. But if Trump gets Ohio State football back, it will go red with historic numbers.

I would rather the B1G play, but all of this drama has been a decent consolation prize

I just checked mgoblog's thread and it's almost a dozen negative comments immediately. Complete cesspool.

Shouldn't the President of the United States have a million other concerns right now that is more important than a college football season starting on time?

It was a 15-20 minute phone call with the commissioner of the Big Ten. Football returning goes beyond just the kids being able to play and puts some people back to work. It’s a win-win situation.
