  "account": "Texas and Tennessee fans are expressing their disbelief over the complications that could arise during Saturday's game due to President Donald Trump’s attendance. Steve Sarkisian, Texas’ head coach, revealed that his team must prepare for communication cuts during the game if Trump enters the stadium, leaves, or changes locations within it. The NFL and college football fans alike are questioning why teams tolerate such measures, with some calling it \"insane\" and \"bad for sports.\" Additionally, the logistical challenges of Trump’s presence, including enhanced security measures and increased wait times at Neyland Stadium, are causing frustration among fans who are already dealing with a high-stakes game against a ranked opponent.",
  "summary": "Texas already has to worry about a ranked SEC opponent, Neyland Stadium, and a freshman quarterback on the other sideline. Steve Sarkisian apparently has another item for Saturday’s game plan: what happens when the headsets suddenly go dead.",
