President Trump said Tuesday the Big Ten is on the "one-yard line" in an attempt to play football this fall, after announcing last month that its fall sports seasons would be postponed until the spring.
Trump tweeted that he had a conversation with Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren "about immediately starting up Big Ten football."
Trump called the meeting "productive."
"Would be good (great!) for everyone — Players, Fans, Country," Trump wrote.
The Big Ten didn't immediately acknowledge the conversation. The meeting comes a day after the Big Ten revealed in court in Nebraska that presidents and chancellors voted 11-3 to postpone the fall sports season, with Ohio State, Nebraska and Iowa reportedly the only holdouts.
