President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Friday that aims to block other college football games from airing during the annual Army-Navy football game. Trump signed the order as he presented the Commander-in-Chief’s trophy to the Navy football team at the White House. The award honors the winner of round-robin competition between the Army, Navy and Air Force service academies. The Army-Navy game is typically held on the second Saturday in December, a TV window at threat of being encroached on by the expanding College Football Playoff and other postseason games. “Such scheduling conflicts weaken the national focus on our Military Service Academies and detract from a morale-building event of vital interest to the Department of War,” the order says. The president had signaled he would sign the order after attending last year’s game, saying it was at risk of being pushed aside by “Big TV Money.” bit.ly/4sp2skv Stay up to date with our social media: KMPH on Facebook...
