President Donald Trump made some headlines last week when it was revealed he was doing an appearance with one of the more prominent college football media personalities in Josh Pate.

Among the topics discussed was former Alabama head coach Nick Saban, who played golf with Trump, former Florida and Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis the week prior.

Pate pried into what conversations between Trump and major figures in college football are like, and the President downplayed the football aspect, saying they talk more about politics than the sport.

“They talk to me about politics really, more so than football they like politics,” Trump said. “They’re all, obviously, very competitive people. But I would say for the most part we talk about politics. They want to know what’s happening with Iran. How’d you do that with Venezuela.”

Ironically, Saban has said in the past how much Trump is a fan of sports and wants to talk football when the two get together, so perhaps the two find common ground somewhere in the middle.

Saban has been one of the biggest advocates for NIL centered reform in the political landscape, and while Trump has taken some action, ultimately legislation has been unable to be passed.

Perhaps if the legendary head coach can stay close with Trump, he can encourage the President to help assist in making changes before it’s too late.
