College football has had incredible developments over the last several years, from NIL deals, to the expanded college football playoff and everything in between, so much so that it’s led to more government involvement in the sport than ever before.

Not to mention, the transfer portal process became such an issue that President Donald J. Trump tried several methods to help the greater good of the game, including signing executive orders and encouraging Congress to come up with solutions.

Though, the latest request of the President comes from one of college football’s biggest stars.

Upon the release of the latest College Football Playoff rankings just days before the final reveal of the field, the Vanderbilt Commodores — who are 10-2 with losses to Alabama and Texas — came in at No. 14 with no real path to move into the 12-team field.

Commodores’ quarterback Diego Pavia — who will likely be a Heisman Trophy finalist — has pleaded with Trump to sign an executive order that would expand the field to 16 teams, allowing four from the SEC to be guaranteed, along with four at-large bids.

Needless to say, Pavia’s request is not going to get approved, but it does reflect the current chaos college football finds itself in when star players are openly begging the President to do something about a flawed system.

Whether Pavia’s in the playoffs or not, he and Vanderbilt have been one of the best stories in the nation this year, and he has made huge contributions to college football.
