Summary

President Donald Trump held a conference call with the commissioners of the major professional sports leagues in North America on Saturday. Per ESPN, Trump expressed confidence that the NFL season would start on time in September. If the NFL starts on time, one would have to think that bodes very well for the 2020 college football season being played. Now, it must be pointed out that some governors -- such as Gavin Newsom of California -- do not share Trump's optimism that the NFL season will start on time. But even if football season starts late with no fans in the stands, sign us up for that. Bill "Bank" Greene joins Dave Biddle on today's show to discuss that, plus: * What is the latest on the recruiting front for Ohio State? * Specifically, where do the Buckeyes stand with 2021 defensive tackles Tywone Malone and Marcus Bradley? * What about Terrence Lewis? What's going on with him? * Which of the top targets on OSU's board might announce their commitments over the next month or two? * What was the deal with eBay temporarily suspending Chris Spielman's account on Sunday? All of that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.
