Frank Beamer will be happy. He suggested this 30 years ago

The NCAA is exploring a significant change to its eligibility rule, sources tell @YahooSports. The proposal creates an age-based standard: Athletes would have 5 years of eligibility from their 19th birthday or HS graduation.

No redshirts or waivers.

Not sure if this is a thing everywhere, but seniors give their jerseys to the teachers who had the greatest impact on their lives. Thank you to the teachers who really make a difference in these kids' lives.

#Jaguars rookie RB Bhayshul Tuten will undergo surgery to repair a finger injury suffered in yesterday’s win over the #Jets, sources tell me and @RapSheet. He’ll miss a few weeks but should be back for the playoffs.

#Falcons linebacker Divine Deablo is expected to miss multiple weeks with a broken forearm.

On National POW/MIA Recognition Day, we honor alumnus Thomas Hall Jr. ’63, who survived nearly six years as a POW during the Vietnam War. A Navy fighter pilot, engineer, and devoted family man, Hall’s courage and ingenuity left a lasting legacy. 🧡

Divine Deablo has impressed the #Falcons so far, while Troy Andersen will be another candidate for a starting linebacker spot when healthy:

The way to AI-proof college is to make it elite again: vastly fewer colleges & universities, far fewer students nationwide, much smaller classes, and do all exams in person, in class, blue-book essay style or one-on-one oral exams with the professor.

@Marcus_Mosher Schottenheimer has spent all offseason talking about culture and character - and then they trade for this guy?

[Holden Culotta @Holden_Culotta]

Mike Rowe: “We’ve got $1.7 trillion in student debt on the books and we’ve got 7.6 million open jobs right now—most of which don’t require a 4-year degree.”

“And we’ve got 6.8 million able-bodied men who are not only out of the workforce, they’re not looking.”

“We took shop class out of high school, we robbed kids of the opportunity to see what that kind of work even looks like.”

“Meanwhile, we told a whole generation of kids they were f**king screwed if they didn’t get a 4-year degree.”

“How did college get so expensive? Nothing has gotten more expensive in the last 40 years than a 4-year degree. Not real estate, not healthcare, not energy, nothing.”

“We keep telling kids they’re screwed if they don’t go in this direction. We free up endless money to loan them.”

“Something beyond the tariffs, something beyond policy is gonna have to happen to make 22-year old go, yeah, I would consider” learning a trade.

SMU is going to thrive in this climate. They can buy anyone!

ACC’s second playoff team with a notable addition. Harden was also UCLA’s second-leading receiver last season with 40 catches.

[Jimmy Robertson @jrob_2424]

@RickyLaBlue That was his idea. Pay their travel expenses and maybe a little extra something to help them out. Made a lot of sense

[Jimmy Robertson @jrob_2424]

Frank Beamer lobbied for doing 20-plus years ago

[Ricky LaBlue @RickyLaBlue]

This is the way. Deion has the right mindset for spring games — make them better, not something different.

[Jimmy Robertson @jrob_2424]

I covered a D-III FInal Four in Salem once for the AP and sat next to John. He couldn't not have been any nicer. Enjoyed the stories and the perspective on basketball. All thoughts and prayers to his family 🙏
