It looks like there’s 100 people here and they’re all over the age of 50

Team Minogue is ready for a new kind of Governor!

I predict that both Texas Tech and LSU will rage quit their conferences and go independent

[J UMasscis @umasscis]

But they just HAD to move to these stupid super confidence this because TV money!!! Wheeeeee nothing to see here and now here’s Pat McAfee trying to fart and burp at the same time

D-I athletics right now:

• UCLA: $219M cumulative deficit
• Rutgers: $516.9M in cumulative shortfalls since joining the Big10
• Iowa State: $147M projected budget gap
• NC State: $18.5M projected deficit
• Dozens of varsity programs eliminated in the last year
• New fees passed to fans

More money than ever, still not enough.

Fewer opportunities. Greater instability.

This isn’t what college sports should be.

[Andy Masley @AndyMasley]

How people think about speed limits is so funny. They want there to be a law and think that's important, but it's also important that the law only be enforced infrequently, randomly and unpredictably, and by humans who pull you over. They don't want the law to be, like, something that actually just applies consistently to everyone all the time. They want it to be a special little surprise.

[Rolling Stone @RollingStone]

Stella Lefty’s new song “Summer You Were Mine” interpolates the Chicks‘ Grammy-winning song “There’s Your Trouble.” Fans had noticed similarities between the two songs, though Lefty’s team received proper clearance prior to the album's release

[J UMasscis @umasscis]

For example. Look up who Carly Simon’s parents were

[DJ Bean @DJ_Bean]

Itch I have to scratch: People misuse “nepo baby” when talking about Stella Lefty. She isn’t running Groupon. She’s a rich kid who got to be a star because she’s rich. Happens with a lot more people than her

[J UMasscis @umasscis]

We gave this kid too much aura too early in his career.

[Darren Heitner @heitner]

Sorry, Greg Sankey. A Dallas court just granted a TRO against you, the NCAA, and the SEC. Any proposed SEC penalty against the athletes, the schools that roster them, or the schools that compete against them and any other ineligibility theory requires leave of court.

“To be clear, it is the Court’s intention to place Plaintiffs in the position they were in at the end of their last college sports season. As long as they would have been eligible to continue playing college sports in the following semester if they had a fifth year of eligibility, they are eligible today.”

Portal / SEC transfer-rule noncompliance is not a basis to sit players and post-2025-26 pro contracts, agent contracts, or pro appearances are not a basis to sit them if they terminate and repay before a college game.

Trying to figure out if this is a troll account or not

[Charles R Downs @TheCharlesDowns]

Al Michaels mocked President Trump and America during tonight’s NFL preseason Thursday Night Football game on Amazon, featuring the Cleveland Browns vs. the New England Patriots.

Michaels shamelessly said:

“That is Lake Erie. We think it is still called Lake Erie. We’re not quite sure at this point. But we’ll be by Lake something like Ontario or whatever it’s going to be called by the time we get to Buffalo. Anyway, you know what I’m talking about… Read the news.”

NFL fans don’t want to watch Trump-hating, America-last announcers.

Al Michaels must apologize.

[J UMasscis @umasscis]

This is spot on.

Also Louisiana exploiting loopholes on this until 1996 isn’t accurate. I’m pretty sure you could still order a beer at a drive thru into the 2000’s

[Curry Hicks Sage @CurryHicksSage]

Sometimes I wonder whether the NIL/portal era will end up looking a bit like this.

[J UMasscis @umasscis]

Honest question. Because I’m not a lawyer. With McAfee’s past comments here about “the old white producers on College Game Day hate me”, does Mr. Gaiero have a retaliation case here?

NEWS: Thomas Castellanos has committed to Texas Tech, he tells ESPN. He's a former quarterback at Florida State, BC and UCF. He has 6,449 career passing yards and 48 passing touchdowns. He's also rushed for 24 touchdowns.

[J UMasscis @umasscis]

He bet unders on his own team four dozen times. That’s called point shaving you peckerwood

"It's amazing ... that there are gonna be people playing this year, they're gonna be suspended for X amount of games, and Brendan Sorsby is gonna have to sit out." 😳

Texas Tech HC Joey McGuire says Sorsby missing football this season is unreasonable.

Oh goodness, you’re telling me The Junkyard is not ADA compliant?!? Do the lawyers know about this?

Construction continues at McGuirk Alumni Stadium. The primary project is to build more ADA-compliant seating. There is also some work being done on the walkway behind the north end zone.

If violating Americans’ 4th Amendment rights were such a necessary evil, why does the person arguing in favor of it need to hide behind a Darth Vader costume?

Ok to everyone on my X timeline. Over the past two days I’ve actually read my messages. Something I only do once or twice a year. Usually when I’m in a really good mood like I am today.
It’s been fun.
No to the five or six people that every time I check are always bringing negativity and Personal attacks, here’s what I got for you today:
Please take your negativity, your empty bag of Doritos, the six pack of Diet Coke that are laying on the ground in your mom‘s basement, to quote the great one @TheRock , turn them sideways and ….

[J UMasscis @umasscis]

So whenever these Van Wilders hang up the cleats and enter the 9-to-5 world, what happens next? When they don’t get a job, are they gonna sue the company? Are they gonna run to some Bible Belt court and try to get an injunction?

[Matt Zenitz @mzenitz]

Cleveland Browns tight end Dae’Quan Wright has entered the college transfer portal, @chris_hummer and I have learned.

The former Ole Miss star is currently on the Browns’ roster.
