Last week, President Trump sent Twitter into flames with the following message:
Had a very productive conversation with Kevin Warren, Commissioner of the Big Ten Conference, about immediately starting up Big Ten football. Would be good (great!) for everyone - Players, Fans, Country. On the one yard line!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 1, 2020
Chaos, of course, ensued, but while many proceeded cautiously after reading Trump’s message, radio host Dan Patrick added fuel to the fire by reporting that Big Ten presidents were considering a proposal to start the football season October 10.
