Ohio fans throwing stuff at Miami (OH) players, the players doing some light taunting in return

It's good to see a smart person use the lock word here because some very loud and theoretically influential college hoops media figures have not yet put down their guns on this wildly dumb "debate"

31-0. Miami Ohio is a mid-major group that stayed together in the portal era and scores more than 90 points per game. In a new era with fewer Cinderellas than ever, this should be America's Team.

espn decided this was an urgent matter they should push to the Home Screen of your phone asap instead of the inane ramblings of an elderly fascist with soggy cardboard for brains

Worth watching the whole clip, but purely in propaganda terms it seems to me, admittedly just an amateur observer when it comes to war fighting, that it may be useful to send the message to the 91+ million Iranian civilians that we are not trying to kill them.

I don't think this has worked for any team that's done it this decade.

The White House college sports roundtable was going better than I expected. Then it ended worse than I expected. That might've hurt the chances of passing the SCORE Act.

Trade! The Chicago Bears are trading for Patriots center Garrett Bradbury, per sources. New England receives a fifth-round pick in return.

Chicago, who lost Drew Dalman to retirement earlier this week, picks up a veteran with NFC North experience.

so to recap: Trump’s suggestion to β€˜save college sports’ is exactly what you thought it’d be

β€˜Just stop paying these kids who gives a shit. Now, let’s hit the buffet’

I kinda want to see them have to sell a salary cap to SEC boosters.

since nobody in the Trump administration has real job duties, here's "Secretary of State" Marco Rubio pontificating on college sports today as part of Trump's roundtable event, as though this is his area of expertise

Commish at the roundtable.

Vikings center Ryan Kelly just announced his retirement. Was always a possibility given his unfortunate concussion issues.

Minnesota now among like a third of the league that needs a center.

My Washington State tax is going to go up and that's a good thing. We had the most regressive tax structure in the country for DECADES.

Why are college sports and private equity converging? Here are the best-case scenarios Private equity cash infusions into college sports come with plenty of much-discussed criticism and skepticism. So what's the case for it?

I’ve spent the last few weeks talking to people in/around private equity to try to answer this question: What’s the best argument for why PE can be good for college sports? Here's my answer:

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

this isn’t what they said. the refund process is for their own refund. they’re not doing refunds to customers, they might do lower prices.

The only person in this country who will benefit from this is JT Toppin who’s about to get a $10M check to return to Texas Tech

Another reason to support court reform is that the Supreme Court, as constituted, is incapable of functionally administering the law. A court that wasn't captured by far right billionaires would've prevented the government from enforcing these at all.

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.

It's 1992, there's a Republican president with a war in the middle east and a recession.

It's 2008, there's a Republican president with a war in the middle east and a recession.

It's 2026, there's a Republican president with a war in the middle east...
