Clay Travis: “I feel like I’m taking crazy pills, in that I am almost the only person in all of sports media who is pointing out this flagrant hypocrisy and the absurd lack of logic involved in all of the decisions that the Big Ten is making. Frankly, I wonder on some level whether this is all just about politics, and whether the presidents and chancellors of these universities hate Donald Trump so much that they are willing to throw away a season in the fall because they think that not playing college football will make Donald Trump look worse. It makes me feel crazy to even think that that could be part of their analysis and part of their decision making, but I look at everything else that's involved in this decision and none of it makes sense otherwise… The only thing I can come up with is ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome.’ These far-left wing presidents and chancellors' votes are not being publicly cast – which is unacceptable to anyone who believes that taxpayers should be able to look at highly paid officials in their state and know what choices they are making. These guys are so far left-wing that they have decided to shut down all sports because politically they think it makes Donald Trump look bad. We already know football has become transparently political. If you live in a state with a Republican governor there is a 25 out of 26 chance that you’re going to be playing high school football this year. The only state with a Republican governor NOT playing high school football is Maryland." (Full Segment Above)
