🚨WATCH: @WesleyHuntTX tells Alveda King he believes he's living her uncle's dream, saying he's judged "not by the color of my skin," but "by the content of my character."
Luke Falk shared a Mike Leach story that stopped me cold:
Two kids. One rich. One poor.
Every training camp, Coach Leach told his team about these 2 kids.
The rich kid has two choices.
Get soft. Get entitled. Expect everything handed to him because he was handed more.
Or take the resources, the coaching, the opportunities, and compound them into something greater.
The poor kid has two choices too.
Say nobody gave him anything. Blame the world. Make his circumstances the reason he never became what he could have been.
Or outwork everyone in the room.
Luke said the locker room had both. Kids from wealth. Kids from nothing. Kids with every advantage. Kids who scraped for every inch.
Same choice for all of them.
Ownership or victimhood.
Fuel or excuse.
The rich kid can waste the head start or build on it.
The poor kid can drown in the deficit or weaponize it.
Greatness doesn't come from where you start.
It comes from which kid you choose to feed.

Iowa: “We realized we made a mistake and violated a transfer portal rule. While violations like this often go unpunished, we wanted to be forthright and honest. We will fully cooperate with the NCAA’s investigation and accept any punishment.”
The NCAA:
So, basically…
Iowa and Kirk Ferentz handled the situation when it arose. Took accountability and took their medicine with a suspension. NCAA and its panel says that’s good. Everyone moves on.
Now the NCAA comes back and says our belt buckle is bigger.
What a crock of shit.
