“He represents a potential four-year prolongation of the nation’s slog through a sewer of scabrous rhetoric serving odious politics. His removal from politics is a necessary precondition for beginning to affirmatively answer two inseparable questions.” wapo.st/4iFDLN0

These idiots just got their asses handed to them in the midterms, so now they want to double down on their twisted version of a Rebublic. Time for the next reality check to occur.
Stand. Fight. Defend the Republic.

As the MSOC legislative proposal closes, this is a reality check read re Louisville’s athletics financial issues: Fresh off ACC meetings, conference administrators were “banging their heads off the table” over financial challenges facing college athletics. wdrbwave.com/2026/11/04/craw…

NEW: In leaked recordings, Peter Thiel argued that Nashville should be a moral alternative to Pope Leo XIV and the Catholic Church, which he called “a dubious ally” against a hypothetical future Antichrist Democratic president. “America is the last and final form of the Roman Empire,” Thiel told a closed-door crowd in Nashville’s Masonic Temple. “There is no successor.” He has attacked Pope Leo XIV at least four times this year, once calling him “a useful idiot for the CCP.” thelettersfromleo.com/p/the-…

The communications channels regarding legislation are like fingerprints. Everyone can be different. But there absolutely needs to be comprehensive dive into intended and potentially unintended consequences. The legislative process should be an eyes-wide-open experience for all.
Good point. It also likely left a bunch of ADs upset that coaches are recommending some things without getting AD support/buy-in

Dave, Great respect for you going back to your soccer days with a great friend and soccer legend Gordon Bradley. Your passion is admirable, but the sport analogies lack critical details. M/WBB, M/WHOC and M/WSW are all single sport indoor venues. Huge difference. PS, great pic.❤️
I understand but change in life happens in @ncaa only change when there is lawsuit..but two semester sports not uncommon...womens soccer said no Basketball (Men's & Women's) 2. Ice Hockey (Men's & Women's) 3. Swimming & Diving (Men's & Women's) 4. Indoor Track & Field (Men's & Women's) 5. Gymnastics (Men's & Women's) 6. Fencing (Men's & Women's) 7.

Imagine that. Judge Reyes wants to determine what is fact and what may be fiction regarding Trump’s plans for East Potomac and Hains Point.
NEW: Judge Reyes intends to appoint Jessie K. Liu—former US Attorney for the District of Columbia during the first Trump administration—to serve as special master to investigate whether DOJ or Department of Interior counsel have committed ethical violations in the golf course case.

Perspective.
A video of a train with M1A2 SEPv3 Abrams tanks moving through La Grange in Kentucky has gone viral. The tanks are on their way to Poland, where they will soon enter into service in the Polish Army.

The forward facing element to the MSOC lobby imo made a mistake taking their cause to social media with a weak financial +/- budget offset explanation. The elephant in the room is MSOC is one of many deficit spending, non rev generating sports, seeking growth in this landscape.
Again this is the type of stuff that is said when you haven’t done research. It doesn’t matter now but like many things in our world you can be very influenced very easily by fake news. It’s a bummer because our infrastructure is set up for a real good development avenue in college. Playing for your school and student body is really fun and important for some players. Hope they find a way to figure it out. Until then…..back to 1978 we go.

When Batson said “Inertia is a hell of a thing,” He obviously missed the post House legislation drafted through autonomy. That quietly driven tag-along legislation allows M/WSOC to increase full scholarships by 32.1 full rides. No inertia there.
This article is about college soccer, and resistance by some to change that will be good for the sport and the athletes that play it. But the message applies to all of college sports in general.

The CSC is giving Saint Louis and Robbie Avila a stiff arm on Avila’s eligibility because the House settlement states that a CBB team can’t roster more than 15 players. SLU coach Josh Schertz tells CBS Sports he’ll follow the guidance of his bosses and SLU’s legal team.
