Kind of interesting that the best academic school and the worst academic school have the most and second most out-of-state freshman.

BREAKING: The NBA has ruled on the Los Angeles Clippers in for salary cap circumvention investigations on Kawhi Leonard after yearlong probe -- stripping the franchise of 5 first-round picks, issuing a $30 million fine to owner Steve Ballmer and suspensions for Ballmer, Lawrence Frank and Gillian Zucker, sources tell ESPN.

Kawhi Leonard will have to pay $700,000 in restitution for improper benefits by the Clippers for his uncle and former business rep, Dennis Robertson. No contract void or suspension for Leonard. And Robertson -- who was fired by Leonard in June -- is being banned by the NBA from all business dealings.

Jaylen Brown exposing the behind-the-scenes realities of the NBA. He says most players have handlers who won’t let them invest in their communities, and help build the next Black Wall Street. Once you start doing that, he says, they begin attacking you media personalities like Colin Cowherd push certain narratives, and media companies come after you simply because you want to create change in your community.

Prince George’s County, Maryland is home to five of the 10 richest Black towns in America, and the wealth is impossible to miss, from Rolls Royces and McLarens to $3 million homes and private schools. RocaNews Youtubers visit Bowie, Woodmore, Upper Marlboro, and Fort Washington while showing how government jobs, college-educated families, entrepreneurship, and decades of development helped shape the area. One resident even went from a defense contract to launching an AI startup, while another shared that her mother was appointed by President Biden. Folks are finally getting a look at a thriving Black majority community that many people never knew existed.

NBA veteran Harrison Barnes just bought a small Iowa bank — putting in $25M of his own money.

We discussed why he did it, his "Dream Team" board, and what 14 years in NBA locker rooms taught him about banking.

If your parents made $50K in the 90s, you need to make $130K in 2026 to have the same buying power.

$130K is the new $50K

Let that sink in

In 2019, a budget of $15,000 to $20,000 bought a 3.4 year-old vehicle with about 42,000 miles.

Today, that exact same dollar amount gets you a car that’s nearly 2x as old: averaging 6 years old with 71,000 miles.

Every American understands how much home prices have jumped. But it’s a similar story in the auto market…

Good piece from @SingletaryM on just how cut throat the used car market has become
