@Polymarket Potential OKG alert for @CoachScottCross but the jury is still out on if teleportation meets the standard of #TakeTheStairs

At the same time: very sad, very happy, very proud for everyone, and reminded that #WinnersWin. #StingEm 🐝

[Chuck Carson @chuck_carson]

One of the best I’ve seen do it. He modeled character, toughness, and excellence…and he made champions at Troy.
Congrats @CoachScottCross and @jenniferhcross. You make a great team and our friends @GTMBB are going to love the journey as you #TakeTheStairs together on The Flats.

In college basketball, the spotlight often shines on Power Five programs. But mid-major coaches are making their mark. Here are 20 rising mid-major men’s basketball coaches ready to take the next step in their careers: https://t.co/ixuHYkrGpj

@HomeOfTroyFB @not__pamela @jonesoxygen To be clear, @jonesoxygen falls into the category of CEO described above. The rest of us are mere mortals. But we both love to help others help Troy U!

[Chuck Carson @chuck_carson]

But you can’t just decree it (via NCAA rule book, etc)…the courts have already said otherwise. So the real question is first “How do you get to this type of transfer rule?” The answer is you have to collectively bargain with athletes to get these types of movement rules/restrictions. We’re not there yet in the conversation for some reason. There is a lot of talk out about what should be but all of those end points have to travel down the road of collective bargaining to be lasting and not just another decision that gets challenged/overturned.
We need stability in personnel movement/transfers, pay, employment status, agent influence, and league competition. There is a way to get it if we’ll get the athletes to the table.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

John Calipari is right on this — allow one player transfer, after that, you have to sit out a year to transfer. We have guys playing for four different teams in four years. It’s beyond ridiculous and bad for the sport:

[Chuck Carson @chuck_carson]

And the real $ doesn’t even show up until you look at the enrollment increase that they’ll inevitably have. That’s not only tuition for the next 4-5 years, but those graduates will be future donors who take that brand with them wherever they go, send their kids and grandkids as next-gen enrollees, and on and on. The numbers just compound from there.
For those who say they can’t invest more in athletics today, the truth is you can’t afford not to.

[Chuck Carson @chuck_carson]

I’m so proud of @CoachJonSumrall, Ginny, and their family for how they love the places they live. Tulane/New Orleans, like the Troy community, has many (less public) experiences with the Sumrall family that are deeply meaningful. What they’ve done publicly here is a glimpse of their investment in relationships everywhere they’ve been.

Hard to put into words what Gerad Parker & Co have done this year. They just kept turning adversity and injuries into opportunities over and over again. So proud of this team and this coaching staff for getting back to the Championship game. Now let’s go get what’s ours.

I love to see good things happening in the lives of high quality people. Faithful man, married well, intentional dad, hard working business owner, great boss/employer, vision for the future. Keep your eye on this one folks…it appears he’s just getting warmed up. And go eat a sandwich!!

[Jeff Murphy @JMurphyLee]

These last two months have been some of the most difficult of my life. It has tested our faith in every way. We've once again put everything we have into this business and community. This time was different though. From managing the location #1, building out location #2, our boys in travel sports, waking up at 4am three days a week and traveling for the pod, being a good husband and father, losing someone incredibly important in my life and so much more.

For us to finally get to this day was emotional, fulfilling and stressful. I am so grateful for god blessing our family and the strength he's given us. My wife has been an absolute rock, our family has helped in every way possible and our staff has kept the business thriving.

Its been a special day as Domenico's Italian Deli #2 is officially open in Murfreesboro. But the grind doesn't stop now, it's just begun. Let's get it!! 🙏

Statement regarding Google’s YouTube TV

[Chuck Carson @chuck_carson]

The many million of $ that were paid out just before the clearinghouse took effect was a clue that there was no confidence in or alignment with the new system. NIL GO was headed to court before it even launched…it’s still going to end up there. Any new version of the same restrictive practices will be litigated too. As their staggering history of being reactive continues, @NCAA continues its staggering lack of proactive action and is the last to understand the times in which it operates…at its own peril.
