ESPN’s College GameDay host Pat McAfee has one of the more popular daily shows in sports media, and this week, he had a very special guest join the program in the 45th and 47 President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.

President Trump made an appearance this week on the Pat McAfee show, and among the many topic that were discussed was formal Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban, who has been at the center of trying to get the new era of college football to a better place since his retirement almost two years ago.

“I know him, and I got to know him because he brought his team to the White House,” Trump began when asked about whether or not Saban could take on a prominent role in the administration to get a hand on the wheel of the direction for college athletics. “He had the team, you know, he won a lot, and I got to know him. He a fantastic guy. And, you know, he’s somebody that really, they should get involved in college sports in terms of making sure that, you know, it all works out. Because what’s happening is it looks like it’s not working out too well for colleges, for most of the people, and a lot of the lesser sports are being totally terminated.

“Nick knows this stuff better than anybody. He’d be — and he was … He’s really active in it. I think they ought to let Nick Saban take a good, strong look at it. And we all, I can tell you from my standpoint, I’d listen to what he has to say, but I know him well and he’s a fantastic guy and what a great coach.”

Originally, Saban was going to be heading up a college sports commission after an Executive Order from Trump along with wealthy Texas Tech booster Cody Campbell, however things didn’t play out that way after the legendary coach seemingly said that no such commission was needed.

While Saban likely has not changed his mind on the subject, it seems the most powerful people in the United States government are still trying to get him involved. It’s worth monitoring to see if anything comes of this.
