Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark pushed for expansion of both the NCAA Tournament and College Football Playoff while speaking to reporters on Wednesday.

'In theory, more is more.'

Here's Columbia Journalism School Dean Jelani Cobb's memo to faculty. 'We believe that journalists have a fundamental right to cover the news. Your efforts turned those sentiments into reality.'

College football: We’re gonna create an NIL where you’re paid directly by the school, that pay reflects your on-field performance, and you’ll be bound to a contract that requires you to play football.

Literally anyone else: So, they’re employees?

CFB: No, no. It’s NIL.

'We want *all* the land. We want all of it'

Worth noting that the NYPD has yet to release any information or data on the so-called 'outside agitators' or which of those arrested aren't students, but have edited this short film from the protests

'No one won here,' Michael Powell writes. 'Student protesters took pride in their collective revolutionary power and yet appeared to have few leaders worthy of the term and made maximalist claims and unrealistic demands.' theatln.tc/4GcxcUuV

Yormark is not easily intimidated. These comments don't surprise me at all

As for the CFP, Yormark personally believes that the development of a new format in 2026 should wait until after this year’s 12-team format is played. However, the league is for more access (14 teams over 12).

Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark, speaking to reporters after league meetings in Phoenix, says his league supports expansion of the NCAA Tournament. Commissioners will soon meet with Charlie Baker about it.

Jewish Federation Los Angeles appears to agree that pro-Israel protesters instigated UCLA encampment melee: “The abhorrent actions of a few counter protestors last night do not represent the Jewish community or our values. We believe in peaceful, civic discourse.” (1/2)

This behavior is not the answer.

Co-sign this. Appreciate the student reporting especially when most journalists are barred from campus. Proud to be associated with Columbia Journalism and awed by Columbia Daily Spectator and WKCR-FM NY

Looks like Florida, New York, and Washington DC have joined Tennessee and Virginia's lawsuit against the NCAA's bans on pre-enrollment discussions with NIL collectives, per an amended complaint filed this morning.

Whole lot of you have a lot to say about the ethics of police at campus protests, but who had nothing to say after Oct 7. Who had nothing to say last week after Jewish students were told to go back to Poland, threatened with 'intifada' (murdering Jewish/Israeli civilians), and

A settlement is inching closer in the House v. NCAA case on NIL.

However, a settlement doesn't address the critical question surrounding college sports: Are student-athletes considered employees or not?

CNN's Julia Vargas Jones says she's slated to graduate from Columbia University on May 15 – 'I have family coming from Brazil to come watch me walk across the stage' – but 'is there a climate for celebration?'

Journalism is not a crime.

I'm in awe of the student journalists at Columbia Journalism and the undergraduate publications at Columbia. *THAT* is what makes me proud to be an alum.
