Trump plans executive order to block CFP from overlapping with Army vs. Navy

President Donald Trump announced plans to sign an executive order to ensure that no football games conflict with the annual Army-Navy game, which traditionally occurs the second Saturday in December. This decision follows a rare overlap where the Army-Navy game coincided with the LA Bowl, both starting in the afternoon on December 13. Trump's order aims to secure a four-hour exclusive broadcast window for the Army-Navy game, emphasizing its significance as a national tradition. The move comes amid discussions about expanding the College Football Playoff to 24 teams, which could shift the Army-Navy game to the first Saturday in December. The game, broadcast by CBS Sports since 1996, has been played annually since 1930. Trump's executive orders, which have been prolific during his second term, carry the force of law within the executive branch but can be overturned by future administrations.
