Marco Rubio expresses desire to watch every college football game

Secretary of State Marco Rubio shared his wish to spend a week off watching college football during a Fox News interview on July 28. He stated he would binge-watch games from noon Eastern until the west coast games conclude at 2 a.m. Eastern. Rubio, a former college player at Tarkio College and Florida alumnus, has a personal connection to the sport, with his son, Anthony Rubio, currently a walk-on running back for the Gators. He previously attended the 2025-26 national championship game between Indiana and Miami and has voiced opinions on playoff fairness, including Miami's controversial CFP inclusion despite a 10-2 record.
