The return of Big Ten football made the first presidential debate Tuesday night when President Donald Trump claimed, during a discussion about reopening restaurants in New York City, that he was responsible for bringing back Big Ten football for the fall.

“I’m the one who brought back football,” Trump said. “By the way, I brought back Big Ten football. It was me, and I was very happy to do it. The people of Ohio are very proud of me.”

Through the cross-talk between Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden, Trump mentioned the Biden ad that ran in late August accusing Trump of leaving America “on the sidelines.” On Sept. 1, Trump then had a call with Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren.

8. The conference begs to differ

Per NBC, https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-takes-victory-lap-return-big-10-football-college-president-n1240239

"President Trump had nothing to do with our decision and did not impact the deliberations," said the president of a Big Ten university who asked not to be identified. "In fact, when his name came up, it was a negative, because no one wanted this to be political."
