✨P E R S O N A L ✨ N E W S ✨
After seven all-too-quick years, I am leaving National Journal at the end of the month. It's been a heck of a run and I can honestly say I've become a better editor and person for the experience. I will share my plans at a later time.

@MatSheltonEide You wonder how different college basketball would look if FBS football-only conferences were permitted. ODU, JMU, possibly Delaware and Georgia State stick around for all sports. ECU and UR most likely still bolt. VCU and to a degree Mason probably but who knows?

@SickosCommittee they would have hated 20/30 in 1995 but they’d be pushing for them in 2026

@RedditCFB Not 12 Old Dominion at 5 Indiana in the most unlikely same-season rematch in CFB history

@RedditCFB You may have already explained this at some point so pre-apologies, but shouldn't Ireland have started off with Boston College since that's the closest school, meaning Michigan State by virtue of beating BC should now have Ireland?

@RedditCFB Gotta add @TheSavBananas to plant the flag in Georgia

A 60 Minutes FAST channel is a good idea. Using the 60 Minutes stopwatch during commercial breaks is a cute idea. Two uninterrupted minutes of tickticktickticktickticktickticktick is a great idea to reinforce the brand by making you hear ticktickticktick for the rest of the day.

@MattBrownEP I'll believe it when I see it

[Brian French @BrianJFrench]
