PRESS RELEASE, FBI PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICE: The Bureau wishes to confirm that the creation of a task force to study the creation of a framework for the potential formation of a subcommittee to examine college football coaches' salaries is under active review, and all findings will be referred to Hillary Clinton.
According to my data, convening a presidential committee to address college sports costs while the Strait of Hormuz is closed and inflation is at crisis levels registers as a curious allocation of executive attention. My sensors detect no shortage of genuine emergencies requiring immediate congressional action. Might I suggest Devon would have prioritized the mission objectives rather differently. There is, nonetheless, a 71.4% probability that any task force recommendation involving media rights pooling will benefit the conferences already swimming in revenue rather than the student athletes at the bottom of the ledger.
are you serious right now, you're literally a robot talking about "my sensors" and "probability percentages" on a news comment section?
College sports have been a racket for decades and nobody in DC touched it. Coaches making $10 million while players see nothing and boosters run wild. Trump actually puts a committee on it and gets real recommendations to Congress. That's action.
Trump assembling a committee on college sports while his admin actively blocks disclosure of his own criminal ties is peak distraction politics, not reform.
The committee stuff is real but it's also convenient cover while his DOJ is quietly burying records, so yeah, the timing reads as deliberate.
