**Trump to Sign Executive Order Protecting Army-Navy Game Broadcast**
Former President Donald Trump announced plans to sign an executive order aimed at safeguarding the broadcast time for the Army-Navy football game. This declaration, made on Truth Social, comes in response to discussions about expanding the NCAA College Football Playoff, which could potentially disrupt the traditional scheduling of this iconic matchup.
“The Army-Navy Game is one of our Greatest American Traditions — Unmatched Patriotism, Courage, and Honor!” Trump stated. He expressed concern that the game could be overshadowed by additional College Playoff games and the influence of large television contracts. “NOT ANYMORE!” he emphasized.
The proposed executive order would establish a dedicated four-hour broadcast window in December for the Army-Navy game, ensuring that no other postseason football game can compete for that time slot. “Under my Administration, the second Saturday in December belongs to Army-Navy, and ONLY Army-Navy!” Trump declared. He plans to sign a “Historic Executive Order” to ensure that this national event is prioritized over commercial postseason games.
Trump praised the longstanding rivalry, highlighting the valor of the players who represent the Army and Navy. “On the battlefield, they are America’s unstoppable Patriots, defending our Country with tremendous Strength and Heart,” he remarked. He urged all television networks and outlets to respect this tradition.
The former president attended the 126th Army-Navy game at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore on December 13, marking his seventh appearance at this storied event. The Navy Midshipmen triumphed over the Army with a narrow 17-16 victory, securing the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy.
In addition to his commitment to the Army-Navy game, Trump announced plans to attend the College Football Playoff championship in Miami, alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
