Donald Trump's Army-Navy executive order was aimed at College Football Playoff negotiations

Former U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order in 2020 aimed at facilitating negotiations for the College Football Playoff (CFP) to use military facilities for games, particularly the Army-Navy game. This executive order allowed the Department of Defense to engage more directly in discussions about using military venues for hosting major college football events. The move sought to enhance the accessibility and logistics of holding large-scale sporting events on military grounds, potentially benefiting both the CFP and the military communities. The decision underscored the significance of the Army-Navy game and its role in the broader context of college football and military relations.
