“President Trump had nothing to do with our decision and did not impact the deliberations," one Big 10 university president told NBC News.

President Donald Trump tried to take a victory lap Wednesday after the Big Ten Conference announced football will be played this fall — but one university president says the return had nothing to do with the president's push.

"Great News: BIG TEN FOOTBALL IS BACK," Trump tweeted."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!!!" Strategists have warned without football, voters will have a stark reminder that the United States is not recovered.

In the weeks preceding the announcement, Trump posted a series of tweets pushing for the Big Ten's return. The Big Ten, Pac-12 Conference, and other smaller conferences had earlier announced they would not play football this fall, while other major conferences like the Atlantic Coast Conference and Southeastern Conference continue to plan for a season.

If you think Liberals are whiny and emotionally unbalanced now, just wait until you see how bat crap crazy they become during President Trump's SECOND TERM

Will he deny ever supporting this once there are 10’s of thousands of new cases?

You yahoo, should be treated as a terrorist organization of the news!

Of course not many people has the balls to admit loving Trump.

He's such a idiot he thinks the world revolves around him

Desperate to get any traction going! 😆🤣

Please - let Trump believe “is all” about him.

Trump's malignant narcissism tells him it's always about him

Does Yahoo take a victory lap when people in those college towns die from COVID? Yahoo calls it a victory lap, I call it a march to death.

Well he certainly rallied & ranted about it. Are they playing football? Well, looks like Trump had an effect! Btw, what do you expect Warren to say? He loses either way

If he hadn’t offered free tests to the a Big 10, this wouldn’t have happened. I’m assuming the college president doesn’t want to be named because he’s a known Democrat.

YahooSportsCFB He takes credit for everything lol

YahooSportsCFB But their botched handling of it allows him to take credit for it.

Ok. LOL.

and he got Mexico to pay for it!
