College Sports are broken, and those who first made the mess and profit handsomely from the status quo do not want to fix it. Without meaningful change, opportunities for thousands and thousands of talented student athletes will disappear and women’s and Olympics sports programs will be canceled. A disjointed and disorganized revenue generation system is the root cause, and everybody in college sports knows it - including many members of the Big 10 and SEC, who have recently reported staggering and unsustainable athletic deficits and debts. Ironically, at least one of these two commissioners, who argue that the status quo is “just fine”, have simultaneously pursued onerous private equity and debt deals to paper over the overwhelming deficits many of their member institutions face. The situation is even more dire in the lower-revenue conferences, as is well known.
Our primary objective is to provide athletic programs, both big and small, the tools they need to achieve financial sustainability and preserve all of their programs, scholarships, and roster spots. We want to grow the financial pie, and make it work for everybody - doing so in a way that doesn’t not punish or take revenue away from the “big boys”. Not only is this the right thing to do, it is also consistent with the President’s “Saving College Sports” Executive Order, that was issued last summer.
The posture of these two commissioners indicates that they do not care about the fate of the other conferences or smaller schools, nor do they care about the life-changing opportunity provided to women and to athletes in our Olympic sports. It seems they have chosen to disregard the directives of the President and the will of the American people.
Change is difficult, I get that, especially when it means dismantling a long-held, broken, backwards system. My sincere hope is that, instead of throwing up roadblocks to our congressional momentum, we can work together on solutions that put the student athletes first and preserves the viability of the great American institution of college sports.
Gerry Glasco when asked about the Canady and NIL:
“When you watch Ohio state football you never hear them talking NIL. I wonder why we talk about it for a female athlete? Look at the exposure Texas tech has gotten with her on the national stage. why is it different for a female Athlete to be payed a million than a male athlete getting three or four million. I found it almost insulting how much they talked about it watching broadcasts. That’s not right it shouldn’t be that way.”
👏👏👏
We’d love a visit…but bring a coat…it’s currently 18 degrees!
We love bragging on our awesome district w/our amazing kids, principals, teachers, staff & board!
We’re also one of the most conservative counties in the state. As such, we don’t like:
* tax dollars spent with no accountability;
* our government being grown;
* our exceptional public school district w/it’s aforementioned exceptional folks getting bashed so uninformed individuals can score cheap political points.
“Come on up and see sometime!”
Patrick Mahomes says he doesn’t believe in endorsing presidential candidates, gets along with everyone regardless of their political opinions. Good for him, honestly, this is Michael Jordan era politics:
Mothering is not something that can be mastered. It’s too relentless. Even in our brightest, most exemplary moments, we are one sass mouth away from nearly losing it. Lol. But I will tell you this. If it means the world to you that you’re a good mom, if you care to the depths of your soul, if you tell them and show them every day that you love them and if they know you are always on their team, you, Darling, are a good mom. Today’s not the day to think about all you wish you’d done better. Just take a day, Woman. Just take a day. Happy Mother’s Day, hard-working, hard loving mom. You earned a fine meal and I hope you get it.
🗳️ Let your voices be heard on March 5! If we remain silent, we risk billionaires, including those from outside TX, seizing control.
☑️ Public schools are the backbone of our communities, fundamental pillars of our democracy, & are sacredly upheld w/in the TX Constitution. #txed
Texas Tech Football's Tony Bradford used his own NIL money — direct from your Matador Club donation — to give away hundreds of Thanksgiving turkeys to families in Lubbock.

A Master Class on Failed Leadership: With a massive budget surplus at hand, Abbott is holding teacher salaries hostage amid massive inflation in a state that had 50k teachers leave their positions last yr & ranks 41st for school funding. This is not about kids, evidence, or the future of Texas - this is about how our democratic system is corrupted by a few radical billionaires demanding vouchers despite any grassroots support. @MomsAGAbbott@TexasAFT@txstateteachers@DianeRavitch@pastors4txkids@DisRightsTx #Txlege https://t.co/hJeEpYd36L
Greg Abbott’s voucher scam threatens everything Texans love about our public schools — even Friday night lights.
I’m partnering with @MomsAGAbbott to air this ad in small towns across our state.

🚨Everyone needs to give this a listen!

How are we using our platform to prepare them for adulthood?
