Money spent isn’t the only thing, but it’s a thing
The @DukeMBB had a budget of $21.4 million in 2022-23, the third largest in the country, while the @GatorsMBK had a budget of $8.4 million that ranked 77th in the nation. The other two No. 1 seeds fell in between— @AuburnMBB expenses totaled $15 million and @UHCougarFB equaled $11.1 million.

This week, Edward Martin, the interim US attorney for Washington, DC, sent a letter to the dean of @Georgetown Law School threatening to investigate the school if it did not scrub its policies and curriculum of diversity and inclusion initiatives. Here is the Dean's response. As a member of the Board of Trustees of Georgetown, I support this letter wholeheartedly. Jesuit education means care for the whole person, in both their spiritual and intellectual lives. And Jesuit practice often involves speaking truth to power. "As a Catholic and Jesuit institution, Georgetown University was founded on the principle that serious and sustained discourse among people of different faiths, cultures and beliefs promotes intellectual, ethical and spiritual understanding. For us at Georgetown, this principle is a moral and educational imperative. It is a principle that defines our mission as a Catholic and Jesuit institution."

My boyhood hero Brooks Robinson died yesterday at 86. This is a print of a Norman Rockwell painting he signed for me. He was living proof that Leo Derocher was wrong. His 1970 World Series performance will live forever in the memory of Orioles fans. Rest in piece, Brooks.

A great day for @UofNH and our colleagues and associates in Manchester.
.@unhprez and leaders spent a day in NH’s largest city, visiting Manchester on an #EmbraceNH tour to hear ways in which university partnerships are making an impact. Stops included @armi_usa with @MayorJoyceCraig, Gossler Park School, @xma_omnispectra, & @WaypointNH. #MHT #UNH

[H]oly fools are so profoundly out of step with the broader world that they appear to be ridiculous or even insane and often invite ridicule,” writes @Tish_H_Warren. “And yet, they teach the rest of us how to live.” nyti.ms/3oT6nKP

Going nuts trying to get anyone at @hertz to answer the phone or respond to a text. Does anyone know the secret to getting through? Feels like they really really don’t want to talk with customers.
