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.

“Ultimately I have to guess she will be a quiet ally for them behind the scenes,” Tusk, a former Democratic operative who worked as a communications director for New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, told The Washington Post Wednesday. (RELATED: FLASHBACK: Sen Kamala Harris Supported Eliminating Senate Filibuster To Pass Green New Deal)
“Overall, you don’t get the sense that in her heart of hearts she’s a crusader to break up big companies,” Tusk said of Harris, who did not say whether or not she would seek to break up tech giants when The New York Times asked her in 2019 if Facebook and Google should be broken up.
Tusk suggested that Sen. Elizabeth Warren, unlike Harris, “wakes up in the middle of the night thinking about how to break up Facebook.”
Cooper Teboe, a Democratic fundraiser in Silicon Valley, told Vox’s Recode blog Wednesday that Amazon, Google, and Facebook will be happy with Biden’s selection.
“She is the safest pick for the donor community,” Teboe said of Harris. “She will be the pick that the California, Silicon Valley donor community — who are worried about things like tech and repatriation and taxes and so on and so forth — she is the pick that they will be happiest with.”
Harris has cultivated relationships with a variety of tech titans, including Salesforce founder Marc Benioff and early Facebook president Sean Parker, as well as billionaire Democratic power brokers like Reid Hoffman and John Doerr, Recode reporter Teddy Schleifer noted in an Aug. 11 tweet.
The California senator’s campaign manager during her first race for district attorney is now California state policy position at Google, Recode reported Wednesday. Her brother-in-law is the general counsel of Uber, the Los Angeles Times reported in 2019. Harris’s former press secretary joined Twitter’s communications team in February, according to his Linkedin account.
Roger McNamee, a Silicon Valley investor and a critic of Facebook, suggested to Recode that a politician like Harris could push certain kinds of regulations because of her connections to Silicon Valley.
“As senator from California, Kamala Harris was understandably aligned with Big Tech,” McNamee said. “As vice president, she has an opportunity to stand up for all Americans.”
Harris has repeatedly called for Twitter to ban Trump from the platform altogether and also grilled Zuckerberg during his 2018 testimony for not addressing why Facebook did not alert users that now-defunct data analytics firm Cambridge Analytica was collecting their personal information in 2015 before the 2016 election.
Harris will also be joining Biden’s ticket as he pressures Facebook, Twitter and other tech companies to remove what the former vice president believes is Trump’s repeated use of election misinformation.
Biden called on his Twitter followers to sign an open letter in June to demand the company “change its policies to crack down on misinformation in ads.”
Cynthia Hogan, a government affairs executive at Apple, helped the Biden campaign vet Harris before Biden eventually made his selection, TechCrunch reported in April. The campaign has welcomed a slew of tech operatives onto its staff, the Times reported Monday before Biden announced Harris as his running mate.
The Biden campaign’s Innovation Policy Committee, made up of 700 volunteers, includes eight people who work for Amazon, Google, Facebook and Apple, the Times reported, citing internal documents. Other committee members have ties to the tech companies as well, including economists and lawyers who have advised them, according to the report.
Neither the Biden campaign nor Harris’ office have responded to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld laid into former Vice President Joe Biden and his newly-announced running mate , Democratic California Sen. Kamala Harris .
Gutfeld appeared on “ The Five , ” which was delayed to accommodate the first public appearance by Biden and Harris together , and questioned a number of statements that came out of their joint event .
Cohost Jesse Watters put the question to Gutfeld , asking whether he felt that Harris had acquitted herself well in her first official speech as Biden ’ s vice presidential pick .
( RELATED : Chris Wallace Claims Kamala @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Left ’ — Her Senate Record Disagrees ) “ For one thing , she sold out the cops .
That was the thing that really stood out to me , ” Gutfeld began before he turned his attention to Biden ’ s comments .
“ You saw Joe Biden trot out the ‘ fine people ’ hoax which has already been discredited .
Trump wasn ’ t talking about racists .
He was talking about both sides of the statue debate .
Anyone with half a brain , i.e .
Joe , knows @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Biden ’ s reference to the unrest three years ago in Charlottesville .
But the one thing Gutfeld said really stuck with him was Biden ’ s comment about President Donald Trump ’ s handling of terrorism .
“ He said something totally mind-boggling , that said that Trump coddled terrorists , ” Gutfeld said .
“ I ’ m thinking , I go like , this is from a guy who was against taking out Bin Laden and Trump got rid of ISIS , Soleimani , and al-Baghdadi .
Is he losing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lying ?
” Gutfeld concluded by turning back to Harris , saying that he didn ’ t understand how she could have publicly stated that she believed Biden ’ s accusers and smeared Biden as a “ racist sympathizer ” if she had learned so much from his son , Beau Biden .
“ It ’ s probably because she ’ s just lying .
If she can make an attack like that on Joe Biden for debate theatrics , months ago , it ’ s reasonable to conclude that the ruination of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” Gutfeld explained .
“ She will ruin you for political reasons .
If you ’ re new to politics , you ’ ve learned a sober lesson .
It ’ s complete and utter BS .
People will say anything to get power .
So what she did was she was willing to crush Kavanaugh and crush Joe Biden , but when the door opens up for power , it all goes out the window .
”

We need to end this spring football conversation before we waste any time actually trying to make it happen.
I understand that coaches and players might want to play so badly that they’ll entertain the idea, but that hardly makes it smart.

We simply can’t have players play in the spring, start training again in the summer to be ready for fall 2021 and then play an entire season again.
That’s the definition of stupidity, and we should halt the conversations at all costs. Starting in November would be one thing.
Starting in March is a galaxy brain level take.

NCAA Recommends Extending Eligibility For College Athletes Who Can’t Play During The Coronavirus Pandemic

College athletes who can ’ t play during the coronavirus pandemic won ’ t lose eligibility .
The NCAA ’ s D1 Council has recommended extending a year of eligibility for all players who sit out and for players who opt out after fewer than 50 % of games are played .
( RELATED : David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football ) The NCAA must officially approve the plan , which it ’ s 100 % absolutely going to do .
This is the right call from the NCAA .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the governing body of college sports to make that it had to be done .
You simply can ’ t rob people of a year of eligibility because of coronavirus .
Imagine if the NCAA just burned a year for every Big 10 football player even though a snap of football won ’ t be played in the fall .
You would see players losing their damn minds , and it might cause the NCAA to implode .
It ’ s not the athletes ’ fault that the season is shut down .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the price for the stupidity of the leaders shutting down sports .
Now , the NCAA is going to make sure they don ’ t lose a year of eligibility .
The biggest question is what happens with incoming recruits in 2021 .
The roster sizes are going to be gigantic , but we can only deal with one problem at a time .
This should be official very soon , and it ’ ll actually give us something to applaud the NCAA on .
