Well, college football is officially a political issue.
In many ways sports have been the source of some of the most significant conversations around topics such as the still-ongoing pandemic and the current movement against social injustice and police brutality.
Now, college football has undoubtedly become politicized and in fact may even be a key issue when it comes to the upcoming election, as evidenced by President Donald Trump calling Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren in an attempt to get the conference's postponed fall season back on track.
I definitely don’t think it’s coincidence this appeal comes to a conference filled with swing states and following a targeted ad from Joe Biden and Kamala Harris blaming Trump for empty stadiums.
