President Donald Trump on Nov. 11 called for a salary cap in college sports.

“Well, it is a very serious problem because even football where they give quarterbacks $12 million, $13-$14 million … all of a sudden you’re going to be out of control,” Trump said, calling into Pat McAfee’s show on ESPN.
