LIFE UPDATE: Very proud to publicly announce that I’ll be joining Nemours Children’s Hospital (Orlando) as an attending pediatric neurosurgeon!! With a clinical focus of cerebrovascular disease, brain tumors, and spinal dysraphism/fetal surgery! The team at Nemours is truly…

Curt Cignetti, asked about Indiana dropping tough non-conference games, comes armed with data about all the FCS teams the SEC plays, with 8 league games instead of 9. “We just figured we’d adopt an SEC scheduling format.”

Technology has completely warped things. It’s very sad. People don’t trust their own brain
When did it become necessary to read your question off a phone or a script at media days?
.@TheFWAA wants to congratulate both @GoArmyWestPoint and @NavyAthletics on winning Super 11 Awards during the 2024 football season as the @American_Conf Football Media Days start on Thursday.
Let’s get a home and home going for an anniversary trip. @BretBielema
Love it or don't, Bill Snyder used this exact strategy to turn around the worst program in the country. 14 seasons of at least 9 wins, six major bowls, two Big 12 titles. Played for a spot in the first BCS title game (losing to TAMU in 1998 B12 champ game).
Every single SEC coach would give up their first born to play Indiana's schedule in 2025: Old Dominion Kennesaw State Indiana State Illinois @ Iowa @ Oregon Michigan State UCLA @ Maryland @ Penn State Wisconsin @ Purdue But again, I like the strategy Work smarter, not harder
For the first time in 221 games the @Rockies have shut out an opponent. Congrats @Cardinals, the ignominious skid continues.
What does this mean? It means your local NIL collective can still get dollars to top athletes and recruits. Rev share will have a salary cap. But nothing is slowing down a school from building out a $35 million roster.
House attorneys have reached a deal with the power conferences and NCAA officials that will alter the College Sports Commission relating to how NIL collectives can pay athletes, per @RossDellenger The CSC is expected to treat collectives in a similar fashion as other businesses.…
Attorney Tom Mars, who is representing collectives in potential legal challenges against the CSC, releases a statement on the news:
Attorneys have resolved a dispute over how the College Sports Commission handles NIL collectives, sources tell @YahooSports, revising its approach to treat them like other businesses - a major move that paves the way for continued collective operations bit.ly/4kVo5od
Significant. Attorney Generals of Tennessee, New York, Ohio, DC, and Florida issue a strongly worded letter in opposition to the SCORE Act “The SCORE Act is a misguided effort that will enshrine in federal law the arbitrary and biased authority of the NCAA at its worst.”
Student-athletes have fought hard for a fair share of the billions they help generate. Federal legislation to fix college sports will not succeed if it suffocates student-athletes under the weight of absolute control by an unaccountable NCAA. Read the letter here:…

I’ll just say it and keep saying it, the only reason Mo would be in charge of the trade deadline would be in hopes of competing this year. If the deadline is about making the team better only in the future, then not only should Bloom run the show, but DeWitt should demand it.
Double down on AQs?

Rhett Lashlee questions the worth of the CFP selection committee at @theACC media days. Among a growing list of voices railing against the committee.
This is an incredible story.
Trey Smith got emotional today when talking about his journey to get here, particularly a FaceTime call informing his family of his contract. Wrote about that last year: kansascity.com/sports/spt-col…
