The formal announcement of Big Ten once again playing football this fall brings the return of the sport as a presidential election talking point for Donald Trump.

Great News: BIG TEN FOOTBALL IS BACK. All teams to participate. Thank you to the players, coaches, parents, and all school representatives. Have a FANTASTIC SEASON! It is my great honor to have helped!!! “It’ll certainly be a talking point, but I don’t think it’ll be a tipping point,” said Kent Hance, a former congressman from Texas who practices law with Hance Scarborough, an Austin-Washington D.C. law and lobbying firm. “But if the election is close enough, anything and everything is a tipping point.

“The Camp David Accords didn’t help Jimmy Carter and the fall of the Berlin Wall didn’t help George H. W. Bush,” said James Carville, a longtime political strategist and ardent college football fan. “I don’t think Big Ten football is really going to help Trump. I’m sure Trump will try and take credit for it, but the election is going to be about more than that.”

Who rushed to a decision when there was plenty of time to wait and evaluate. Absolutely not acceptable reason for the bigten to not fire KevinFWarren. Who do the parents/players sue if there is death or permanent injury from getting Covid?
