President Donald Trump has repeatedly inserted himself into the Big Ten conference in recent weeks, hoping to push the conference to reverse course and hold a football season this fall — something commissioner Kevin Warren canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Rutgers president Jonathan Holloway, however, isn’t having it.
Holloway said Thursday that he was “gobsmacked” by the criticism that the league has received for not holding a football season this fall, but he won’t change his decision on the matter based on Trump’s comments or tweets.
“I mean, it’s just cheap politics,” Holloway said, via NJ.
