I slept on it. I had to do it.
The New York Knicks title deserves an asterisk.
They join my definitive short list of NBA championships with an asterisk: https://t.co/RVVvIwVCdB

I spoke with WNBA players of African descent about their relationship with their names and how they present themselves as pros. Some shorten for comfort. Others, for preservation.

My coworker just told us that her dad was at the 1973 Knicks parade with his buddy and they carried a sign and they STILL have the sign, watched some of this series together and recreated their photo 🥺. Somebody has GOT to interview them.
Pt.1- In 2015, I was asked to assist with USA Basketball U19….I got a call after the 3rd day from Worldwide Wes, Jay Wright and Ashley Howard (Villanova asst.) to update on how Jalen Brunson was playing…I said “Juwan Evans has embarrassed him for the last 3 days..Cont’d
The launch of the Ph.D. in bioengineering aligns with A&T’s strategic growth toward Carnegie Classification as a Research 1 University. A&T now exceeds criteria for that designation, which it is expected to receive in 2028, making it the first public HBCU to be so classified.
I have a beautiful @wmata story to tell.
My three sons take Metrobus to and from school together every day. Yesterday, one of them left his trumpet on the bus when getting off at home. Of course, tonight he has a band concert...🧵
Presented our Women’s Soccer team with their CIAA Soccer Cup Championship & @USCAA National Championship rings.
The National Championship ring also marks a historic first for @VSUsports, featuring the women’s version of our Trojan logo etched on a ring for the very first time.
@erlee0217 The long form piece that the Washington Post would have done on new build homebuyers who lost jobs between down payment and closing isn’t even coming because the Washington Post is a shell of itself. It’s a mess.
For those who are interested in what’s going on at Bowie State - this is a succinct explanation.
Reduced federal and state funding coupled with declining enrollment are the cause for the deficit.
UMD College Park, the flagship university, has also recently announced layoffs.
Albany State University is hiring a full-time Assistant Director of Athletics Communications intern (one-year NCAA grant-funded). Benefits + growth opportunity included. Great entry point into the profession. Link below.

Howard students aren’t dumb. They know DC. They live in it. They were part of it all year. They booed Bowser because they’ve been paying attention. Here’s why🧵
My three Alma Maters look to be in good shape.
NYU’s post college market position is lower than Howard’s.
Hopkins is quite high.
For how much both my two graduate schools cost…. It’s clear Howard is the best deal, financially, of the three.
As was alluded to, Prince George’s County was developing strategies to drive Bowie State’s enrollment before the layoffs were even announced. PG and MD are going to move differently than counties and states currently redistricting Black folks out of their voting rights.
Bowie won’t be last with these challenges unfortunately…My daughter was part of the largest HS class in American history last year…she was born in 2007…and we know what happened in 2008 with the financial crisis and such…baby making started declining…🧵
You wouldn't know it from this graphic—or any of the dozens of misleading stories Sinclair has done like this in the last year—but they didn't "give the mayor's office" millions. They chose to fund youth summer jobs.
They're mad that the CHILDREN AND YOUTH FUND… funded youth
