3. Guess the Air Force will feel ignored now. What about their games with Army and Navy?

Demented old man ranting again at shadows. The Army Navy audience has dwindled to little because in the grand scheme of college football it's meaningless. Hasn't been relevant since 1958. Next are they going to be "forced" to broadcast Kennesaw State vs. Florida International because the old fool had another rant?

'Army-Navy audience surprisingly down'

"Saturday’s Army-Navy Game averaged 7.84 million viewers on CBS, down 17% from last year’s audience of 9.42 million...The decline comes amidst some uncertainty regarding the future scheduling of the Army-Navy Game, which since 2009 has aired mostly unopposed on the weekend after the college football conference championship games. But in the event that the College Football Playoff expands past its current 12-team field after this season — as is expected — it is likely that first round games would take place on that weekend."

7. Just how does he think he can enforce this? This EO would establish a no commercial sports holiday by decree.

Of course, Kind Pedonald will expect colleges and broadcasters to eat the financial losses. Won't he?

(just not a big sports fan), but the complaint i hear from friends who do is that the sports casters are annoying idiots who refuse to shut up, and the commercials that seem to come on right in the middle of an exciting play.
