College sports isn’t a broken system. It’s a system refusing to acknowledge what it is.
A response to @SethDavisHoops and everyone in the college sports ecosystem making the same argument.

I worked with @VU_CoachB at @GSAthletics great guy and great story. Need more coaches out there like Coach B!

[Joey Dwyer @joey_dwy]

Katina Kangelaris and Mark Byington are sharing their story because of what it can do for others. They want to use her story to bring awareness to the magnitude of Colon Cancer and encourage screening.

@DrKateAckerman is a superstar! This is a much needed facility that will answer very important questions for the future of women's athletics!

[Sports Business Journal @SBJ]

Dr. Kate Ackerman is leading a new Women’s Health, Sports & Performance Institute in Boston aimed at closing the data gap in women’s sports research 📖

Only 6% of sports science studies are conducted exclusively on women.

@McCannSportsLaw So, if the NCAA were to allow students to be recognized as work study athletes, that is all it would take? Or would there need to be some other dispensation to allow them to bargain with the conferences/NCAA?

[Chad Asplund @chadasplund]

@achristovichh Amanda, Could congress create an entity "college athletes" and give them the ability to bargain without having them be unionized or employees??

[Chad Asplund @chadasplund]

@WinterSportsLaw @WinterSportsLaw Is there anyway for congress to create a special entity of "college athlete" as a bargaining unit that would allow them to bargain without being unionized or employees?

Very important work! Congrats to Dr. Davis and @jessicajorchard !

@DeenaCasiero and @NCAA_SSI thank you for this valuable document, which will help performance staffs and athletes!

[Deena Casiero @DeenaCasiero]

🚨 On behalf of CSMAS and @NCAA_SSI, I’m pleased to share that the new Performance Technologies Recommendations: Responsible Use in Collegiate Athletics is now available. 🚨

I encourage athletics departments, health care administrators, directors of athletics, athletic trainers, team physicians, strength and conditioning coaches and other campus leaders to review and share this resource as we collectively navigate this rapidly advancing space.

🔗 Read the full recommendations here: https://t.co/FzFUjVMtVY

👉 Additional guidance will be added as it becomes available here: https://t.co/sGxbA2s6uT

@Clowfb The model could also change - instead of paying coaches tons of money to coach (and even not to coach after they get fired) and building ridiculous facilities with slides and flight simulators, the money could be "redistributed" in a more fair/sane manner

[Chad Asplund @chadasplund]

@awfulannouncing What does that even mean - yes, she got more people interested in women's basketball, but women's sports have been undervalued and under appreciated by TV for years. You have seen the sell outs of Unrivaled, PWHL, etc. Women's sports are sports (period).

[Chad Asplund @chadasplund]

@Ginger_Guns Jeanne - support staff across the board is underpaid and under appreciated - departments "never have money" until they have to fire a coach, hire a general manager, etc.. The ATs, SC's, academics, equipment, facilities, comms people are the unsung heroes of college athletics

[Chad Asplund @chadasplund]

Another point not addressed by this piece or either of the congressional bills is the health and safety of the athletes. We need enforceable health and safety standards and to hold coaches and administrators accountable if they endanger athlete safety.

@GoCards Great point! There chang is needed. I have likened college athletics to a "runaway train" and the fuel is $$$ - something needs to slow the train or people are going to start falling off.

@MCameron008 Year round single sport competition for many years leads to an accumulation of fatigue with the ACL, increasing likelihood to tear - I am seeing many ACL's with minimal effusion- I think represents completed tearing of a partial tear from years of micro tearing

Our #ATBHM2026 salutes Dr. Tamerah Hunt of @GeorgiaSouthern. Dr. Hunt is a dedicated concussion researcher re: the SDOH impact on recovery & head injury to youth athletes. Dr. Hunt is the @SEATA9 rep to our @NATAFoundation. @EDACNATA & @NATA1950 values are her calling card.
