(CNN) More pillars are fast crumbling in President Donald Trump's frantic and lie-strewn attempt to convince Americans the nation is back to normal before the election, with chaos already afflicting the return to school and a rite of fall -- college football -- on the brink . The President, in demanding a return to class and for college football to kick off, is making education and collegiate sports the latest area of American life to be contaminated by his false narratives about the pandemic. Trump pushes for college football seasonThere were hardening indications also on Monday that the 2020-21 college football season will not take place -- at least according to its traditional fall calendar. But the loss of big-time college football would deal another devastating blow to Trump's claims that regular life is returning or that the pandemic is relenting.
