Will Donald Trump Join ESPN’s ‘College GameDay’ on Saturday?
Trump will attend Tennessee vs. Texas in Knoxville.
ESPN is bracing for controversy if President Donald Trump appears on College GameDay before the Texas vs. Tennessee matchup on Saturday. Trump is reportedly friends with GameDay hosts Pat McAfee and Nick Saban, both of whom support the Protect College Sports Act that McAfee and Saban have been advocating for. The head of ESPN declined to comment on Trump's involvement, but sources suggest ESPN would be foolish not to capitalize on the opportunity.
Former President Barack Obama has appeared multiple times on GameDay, and ESPN's relationship with the White House has since improved. However, some fans and analysts believe ESPN should avoid giving Cruz a platform to campaign for his legislation on the show. If Trump does show up on the set with McAfee, Saban, and other GameDay stars, expect intense backlash.
