Clay Travis: Big Ten is Not Playing Football Because of Partisan Politics

Clay Travis: Big Ten is Not Playing Football Because of Partisan Politics
Clay Travis: “If I gave you the choice right now of ‘you can pick the President, or your favorite Big Ten football team can play this fall' – I think there are millions of Big Ten fans that would say ‘I would rather my team play than get to pick who is going to be President of the United States.’"

Listen to Clay Travis discuss the Big Ten conference’s ongoing standoff between university officials, players, parents, and even the President of the United States, as the conference continues to grapple with a potential amendment to their original August 11th fall season postponement.

Donald Trump said he had a 15-minute phone call with Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren on Tuesday morning, and said good progress was made towards a resolution for a fall football season. However, Clay says the sheer presence of Trump combined with the political polarization of how to handle COVID-19 from a business, health, and liberty perspective has made the future of Big Ten football fall heavily on party lines.

Check out the segment above Clay details why this has become such a major talking point for the 2020 Presidential Election.
