If the government wants to give me millions in federal funding like they do universities, they can put a three-month window on me.

Mercer missing the field is bad for college baseball.

If a mid-major can win 44 games, finish top 30 in RPI, rank among the national leaders in homers and still miss, what exactly is the path supposed to be outside the power conferences?

Mississippi State just:

• earned its FIRST EVER (!!) WCWS berth
• snapped Oklahoma’s 9-yr WCWS streak
• ^ OU had been to 13 of the last 14 WCWS
• shut out OU for FIRST time since 2019

And this ALL happened in Norman.

An upset of EPIC proportions.

Here's why the lack of transparency around revenue-sharing matters to you.
Not to me, a curious reporter who likes to FOIA.
To you, as a taxpayer, student, parent of a student or just a fan or a school or sport.

Ben McCollum asked about travel, having less rest than Neb. Refreshing

"This level is so bougie ...

I've been at DII for so long. I played JUCO. I mean, you make your bus trips & you're ready to play. If you're not ready to play for the Sweet 16, then you ... shouldn't be here"

Want to know what Wyoming coach Sundance Wicks thinks about the national discussion about Miami (OH)'s strength of schedule?

“There’s a lot of idiots out there that have no idea how scheduling works, and they’re all over Twitter,” Wicks said. “(They’re like), ‘Well, why don’t you guys go do two-for-ones? Why don’t you just not take the buy-game money and go over to their place?’ Why would you go play a game for free when they’re not returning it back to you? None of this stuff makes sense.

"For people out there to sit there and say, ‘Oh, it doesn’t seem that hard. I don’t understand (why it’s so hard to schedule high-major teams).’ Yes, you do. Everybody knows why.

"As coaches, we’re paranoid. We’re paranoid to the nth degree that you scheduled the wrong team. If you buy the wrong team and you lose, you’re gonna get a @JonRothstein Tweet, ‘The epitome of brutality.’ You don’t ever want to be on those, but that stuff happens. Nobody wants to schedule Miami (Ohio), because they have a high level of retention.

“... I’m telling you, man. Scheduling is hard, because nobody wants a blemish on their resume versus a mid-major or a low-major. Not one team.

“... It takes a real confident, secure coach in his contract to be able to schedule (low- or mid-majors), and most of these guys nowadays with the way NIL is going, I don’t think anybody’s secure in their contract because you’re seeing these exorbitant buyouts, and they’re still getting rid of coaches, because they’re expecting you to win if you have enough money to win. They’re expecting you to win, so if they’re giving you enough money and expecting you to win, well, why would you take the risk as a high-major? Why would you take that risk?

“Why do we get so upset when a team is 30-0? I don’t understand why people get upset about that or why Bruce Pearl is talking (down on Miami, Ohio). Why are we not celebrating the fact that there’s a low-major team or a one-bid league team that is 30-0 right now and being like, ‘That team’s body of work is awesome, regardless of who they played?’

"It’s so hard, no matter who you play, to win that many games in a row. So, I don’t know why we’re not sitting here talking about this and celebrating this versus having the discussion of why nobody will schedule anybody.

“If nobody will schedule you and teams end up winning all these games, you should just get a pass, because you know what? You beat the system. Everybody said no, and you still beat everybody.”

How we got here - nobody wants to be first, everyone wants to be second.

How we'll get there - somebody will be first, everyone else will follow.

Mike Macdonald shares the two key roles he plays as an NFL Head Coach.

Chief Alignment Officer
Chief Reminding Officer

A head coach's job is about ensuring everyone knows the following: Who we are, how we do things, and what we will and won't tolerate.

If you don’t define where you’re going, someone else will. If you don’t reinforce and remind people of what matters, drift takes over.

Vision sets the destination. Standards keep everyone on the road.

Without both, you just have a group of talented people pulling in different directions.

With both, you get a team.

A 2-star QB scrambling for potentially the national-championship-winning touchdown on 4th down in his hometown against his hometown team after winning the Heisman for the most losing program of all time while his mother with MS screams for joy from her seat is possibly the limit of how good sports can get

[NIL 𝘯𝘰𝘵 NLI @NILnotNLI]

It is no longer defensible for certain NCAA athletes who are afforded 6 or 7 figures in NIL cash to also receive taxpayer-subsidized full scholarships & benefits.

​Those resources should be allocated to high-achieving students with demonstrated financial need...

The aside here in what is a good rant is maybe my favorite Calipari flex I've seen in a long while. Extremely funny lmao.

Guy works graveyard shifts at an assisted living center to pay tuition, places 2nd in the country at the NCAA D3 Cross Country National Championship, and even makes the Olympic marathon trials with a 2:12. NCAA boots him because a community fundraiser helps him with tuition.

[LetsRun.com @letsrundotcom]

The NCAA is banning star D2 cross country runner Mohammed Bati - who works 11 pm - 7 am 5 days a week at an assisted living facility to make ends meet - because the local community came together and raised some funds so he can stay in college. Meanwhile, D1 football players have agents and bidding wars. #Disgraceful
