@NateSilver538 Susan Collins’ hand wringing hides her lies, I guess. She’s at least v v very concerned as she lies.

@Jeff_Ermann Just paid for our nickel DB for the season. Thanks, Frank!

@NolanRogalski @Sportico @TerpsMLax These figures do not include NIL.

@BrentAxeMedia @CuseMLAX Don't brush over this sentence: "It’s particularly helpful, of course, if your endowments look like Princeton’s (about $36 billion), Johns Hopkins’ (about $13 billion) or Cornell’s (about $12 billion)." Allows their "need based aid" to extend pretty far up household income.

@College_Crosse I don't know. There's something elegant about hiring the guy who built the bomb to come in afterwards to clean up the mess from the explosion.

@Eri_Barrister Safe...coulda gone with a classic The Wire clip here for a real dagger...

[Tony @WheelsRI]

@College_Crosse Me right now...

@College_Crosse Feels like what ND did to MD in 2024. History doesn't repeat but often rhymes.

@fieldystick @thomasmidleton @College_Crosse In these kinds of situations, UVA's excess damage insurance policy will cover the settlement costs. So this likely won't impact the AD's budget at all. 1-2 years of the salary, cover his lawyer's fees, and taxes take half. Lawyers always win. Business just businessing.

@TerenceFoy @Inside_Lacrosse @NCAALAX So wish they'd return to campuses permanently. Makes the whole event more of a celebration.

@NateSilver538 Who owns the IP to "Nataniel?" Could be a fun point-counterpoint opponent in your writing.

@buddhaumd @College_Crosse @MattPackard8 @URSpiderFan94 @fieldystick Likely start scaling things from that threshold. It's not like 55% of the student body comes from below $220K HHI. Harvard claims they don't give "merit" only "need-based."

[Tony @WheelsRI]

@buddhaumd @College_Crosse @MattPackard8 @URSpiderFan94 @fieldystick More than you think. Let's try this from another angle. If 55% of Harvard students get financial aid and Harvard has a $56B endowment, you tell me how many players are paying the stated $86K cost of attendance there?

[Tony @WheelsRI]

@URSpiderFan94 @College_Crosse @fieldystick I hope UR gets there, too. It'd be good for the game.

[Tony @WheelsRI]

@MattPackard8 @College_Crosse @URSpiderFan94 @fieldystick I'm not a UR hater by any stretch. I was all in on them beating Duke, and I think the committee did them no favors with the construction of that bracket. If UR has SMU-type money where they can forego ACC media payments, then consider me a UR believer in lacrosse.

@MattPackard8 @College_Crosse @URSpiderFan94 @fieldystick It's not the coaches telling them that. The Ivies have those policies for all students. Yale/Prince/Harv are pushing for tuition free across the board! Not every recruit can get in academically, but coaches do get "special admits" for each sport. #s vary by school & sport.

@URSpiderFan94 @College_Crosse @fieldystick If I was a UR fan/alum, I'd say the same things. It's also myopic. Chemotti might stay at UR, but in the year of our lord 2026, the path to the NCAAs is still easier in the ACC/B1G/Ivy. The margin for error is a lot smaller at UR. MD was 7-6 and still almost made it!
