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!

According to Letterman Row, the White House reached out to Warren to set up the call.
A Big Ten football coach texted “Major Wow!!!!!!” to the Tribune.
