@PeterLynchASM I'm buying

[Coach Tommy Tuberville @SenTuberville]

My NIL bill is simple.

You get five consecutive years to play five seasons with one free transfer. If you choose to transfer again, you sit out a year.

Proud to be leading the charge to SAVE COLLEGE SPORTS.

This is the best post-game interview in the history of sports.

24 year-old Jack Hughes from Florida, who scored the game winning golden goal against Canada for Team USA:

“This is about our country. I love the USA. I’m proud of Team America…”

Society if we just agreed to use 10% for WACC instead of using the capital asset pricing model

[Chad Godwin @AviatorSooner]

@OUDaily The only reason to do this is to prop up OSU. The economy in Norman with the SEC is going better than ever!

So you are using Buy Now Pay Later to afford rent but still remain bullish on the economy?

@Sooner_Source It's trendy. Most of these kids grew up in the richest towns playing the most expensive sport.
I can't even afford to go snow skiing.

@colin_dunlap I'm still trying to figure out why they think their opinion matters. No one tunes in to listen to them talk or debate. No one really watches them compete any longer. The Olympic Games are a shell of what they used to represent.

@Snarkio_ @lindelfields Proof Kids will do anything to get out of class!

Great question

[Chad Godwin @AviatorSooner]

@ConnorAbene 100% agree. I see this all the time with clients going to market. Most owners think top line revenue cures all.

[Connor Abene @ConnorAbene]

A full pipeline doesn’t mean a healthy business.

It can mean:

• Low close rates
• Long sales cycles
• Deals you’re underpricing to win

Health shows up in conversion, cycle time, and cash collected.

Volume without throughput just hides friction.

If you haven’t tried to put a deal together with a boomer owner, and Hotmail email CPA, and a non-M&A attorney - you’re living better than me.

[Connor Abene @ConnorAbene]

Clean numbers don’t mean control.

Control means knowing exactly what you’d cut first if revenue dropped tomorrow.
