Army-Navy game, the Big Cheeto says he will sign an executive order to grant the game an exclusive 4-hour window.

That's fine - you get a week back if possible or play it at night - but no telling they'll move it to Friday

You not getting that week back as they promote it as the 1st Bowl game of the season. Friday is for the BOTB and early day traveling. They would move it up a hour to be outside of that 4 hr window that the Army-Navy game is in.
 

Donald Trump announces college football executive order​


President Donald Trump on Friday issued an executive order barring College Football Playoff and other postseason games from airing during the annual Army‑Navy football game, directing federal agencies to preserve an exclusive national broadcast window for the rivalry.

The order instructs the secretary of commerce and the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission to coordinate with the College Football Playoff committee, the NCAA and media rights partners to ensure no other college football games are broadcast in direct conflict with Army‑Navy, which is traditionally played on the second Saturday in December.

Army‑Navy Game Protected Amid CFP Expansion Concerns​

Trump’s executive order points to the potential expansion of the College Football Playoff as a growing concern, noting that an expanded postseason could require the playoff to begin earlier in December. In the first two seasons of the current 12‑team CFP format, first‑round games were played the weekend following the Army‑Navy matchup.

This year’s Army‑Navy game is scheduled for December 12 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, the home of the NFL’s New York Giants and New York Jets. The CFP first‑round games are scheduled for December 18 and 19.

College football officials have discussed the possibility of expanding the playoff to 24 teams, a move that would require at least one additional week of games and could push the postseason deeper into early December. Starting the playoff earlier in the month would be one option under such a model. A smaller expansion to 16 teams has also been discussed and would not necessarily add additional weeks to the postseason schedule.

It is not legal, but President Trump does not care. He signs, in my opinion, some of these executive orders in the hopes that it scares people and entities to comply with it. I believe President Trump will go down in history as the President with the most number of legal battles that his administration has lost (along with wasting tax payers dollars covering these legal cases and judgements).

The Army and Navy Game has been played at different times and dates throughout its' history and to have the game run unopposed will do nothing for the game. People that want to watch the Army-Navy game are going to watch it regardless even if other games are been played at the same time (some will elect to DVR or watch the game on video on demand). Also, it seems like Trump don't know that people can watch multiple games at once now of days or flip back and forth to games.

I think this is all a play to cater to "patriotic crowd" who truly believe that watching the Army-Navy game is a form of patriotism (even though some of those same people in this crowd don't even watch the whole game or even half of it). I expect that HBCUs are going to get hate from this because of when the Celebration Bowl is played and aired (saw one media sports personality disrespecting HBCUs and Celebration last year when Trump was talking about doing this executive order).
 
President Trump has no control over the NCAA nor does he control what sports teams cable broadcast companies show on tv.
It’s a meaningless executive order that does not have the force of law since it’s not a law passed by Congress.

On top of that, the Army-Navy game airs exclusively on CBS. If that game wanted exclusive rights, then ABC, FOX, NBC and CBS would all have to share media rights and that's not going to happen (too many hands in the pot situation). You don't see that for the NBA, NFL. MLB, etc... So you definitely not gonna see that for a rivalry college football game.
 
Well, I have never watched the Army-Navy game, so.......
