President Donald Trump will attend Saturday's college football game at Tennessee between No. 1 Texas and the No. 14 Volunteers, a source confirmed to CBS Sports' Richard Johnson. The noon Eastern showdown comes less than six weeks before November's midterm elections, and as the fate of the Protect College Sports Act hangs in the balance.
Trump is a proponent of the PCSA, which would introduce a federal framework to the collegiate sports landscape, rife with chaos over issues of eligibility and compensation. However, the bill still faces legislative hurdles and has not been formally voted on in the House or Senate.

The real UT hosts the team that was rescued by Tennesseans from being Mexico North. Go Vols!
Tennessee for the win.
It should have been a night game.
I remember when Nixon attended the Texas-Arkansas game back in 1969 (when Arkansas actually was a good football team).
That’s wonderful. He knows how to work and he knows how to have fun. Since it’s contagious I wonder which of his cabinet members will be in the booth with him.
“scheduled” a night game.
It’ll be brutal orange-on-orange football!
I’m rooting for the real SEC team, not the johnny-come-latelys. Go Vols!
The SEC was founded in Knoxville. 1932
Texas needs to go back to the Southwest Conference, with A&M and Arkansas.
Agree. I have old “Hardees” glass that have the SEC logos from 1988. 2 of them.
No fade at all, about 10oz each.
They should have the old rocky top clogger and Ella Langley there
I decided to actually take a pic. They came from “Krystal”.
Definitely a great day to stay home and out of the traffic jam. No slight on Trump. I 40-75 through Knoxville will be a lot worse nightmare than usual. I’m over 20 miles from it :>}
Win it for Dolly!
Why, exactly, should the federal government be in the business of micromanaging colleges sports?
No. 1 against No. 10 doesn’t seem like much of a “showdown” to me: more like a likely blowout ...
ALRIGHT!
Orange Man goes Orange Bowl!
Hook’em Horns!!
