Attorney Ryan Downton, to @FoxNews, on the NCAA’s decision to not grant 2022 class a blanket waiver and continuing to fight ongoing lawsuits
“The NCAA keeps calling it “the Membership’s decision” to exclude the Class of 2022. But neither the NCAA schools nor the coaches got to vote on this proposal. The overwhelming majority of coaches I talk with want these kids to have a chance to play.”
"It's not perfect, but it certainly addresses 80% of the needs."
Nick Saban urging members of congress to pass the Protect College Sports Act. @WBRCnews
"It felt like I accomplished something I didn't even imagine I could accomplish one or two years ago. It felt like all the hard work paid off."

Kyle and I had a really challenging existence for many years. But we luckily took the time to figure out our differences and that was something he instigated with a conversation in his bus around how we each managed our racing teams. I was super eager for us to get on better terms. But it was he who made the effort for that to be possible. We did some media together also to laugh through some of the things we put each other through many years ago. Most recently we had even been discussing him running my Late Model at Wilkesboro this summer. He seemed extremely happy and we had planned to meet up next Thursday to get his seat to the shop. He laughed over the idea of his fans and JRM fans having to cheer in unison during that race.
Kyle was one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history. No one can deny that. But he was also a father, a husband, brother, son, and a friend to many. My heart is broken for the Busch family. I will never be able to make sense of this loss but I am thankful that we had found a way to become friends.
Any of these grifters who are totally okay with eliminating university Olympic sports programs in order to pad the pockets of a tiny percentage of athletes (and their own pockets) should be required by law to look those discarded students in the eye, in a closed room (not via email), and personally inform all of those kids that their sports are getting axed and their scholarships are being stolen...

This also puts in perspective just how good Jenny Simpson was in college.
She ran 3:59.90 for 1500m at the Pre Classic in 2009. Seventeen years later, she remains the only collegiate woman to go sub-4:00 (during the season).
