DID UCLA FINALLY WRITE OFF ITS ATHLETIC DEBT? I've long thought the way UCLA saddled poor UCLA Athletics with Op Debt was bogus, and needlessly made AD's life hard But... a new surprise: Poof! It's gone! Who knows the scoop? Written off? Filing error? (Obv. not paid down)

Great article on UCLA/Cal sports being owned by student govt until 1960 It was a mess when UC Prez needed to fire UCLA's coach in 1958, as coaches didn't answer to the school But, coach's sudden heart attack ━in a sketchy LA motel with a hooker & his buddy━ resolved the issue

WHAT'S UP WITH GEORGIA FOOTBALL? 🎓🏈⁉️ Once again, the new UGA football grad data is just awful, and the worst in FBS by far BUT, grad rate is a lagging indicator, so if we lake a look at leading indicators, Georgia Bulldogs may have a great turnaround in progress 👍

Why I love Cameron Brink: 🏀 She plays hoops like a gangster THUG... ready to stab you with a shiv at any point, then crush your head in her bare hands like a "Game of Thrones" villain 🏀 The moment the buzzer/whistle goes off, she's back to being like the funniest, sweetest,

FYI: If you like irreverent comedies that look back on the absurdity of college days with laughter, "Overcompensating" on Prime Video is hysterical (Based on creator/star's freshman yr at Gtown, but genericized. Charli XCX helped produce & did the music) youtube.com/shorts/BmIN1zI…

COLLEGE SPORTS DEBT: Change Since 2013 (Power 5 Publics) School are ramping up on athletic debt, sometimes with debt that is outliving the life of what it paid for. Check out how much new has been taken out... and how little was paid down. We're also seeing schools absorb debt

USC vs. ND: A RIVALRY WE NEED TO PROTECT There's really nothing like the unique, century-old national rivalry between #USC & #NotreDame, we must preserve it, even if it's hard. Think about what it takes for games big enough to be the focus of obsessive Hemmingway characters,

ATTACKS ON DIPLOMATS ARE HORRIFFIC AND TRAGIC... sadly preventable... not new... and not caused by free speech or religion I'm heartbroken over the tragic embassy killings, but also furious about the blame game their government and special interests are playing in the media

COLLEGE SPORTS: Athletes vs. Spending by Level It's interesting how one chart can tell a thousand different stories (here's just 4) One key takeaway is that as the business model evolves at the top on the pyramid, we need to preserve the broader experiences, even if lower cost

Please let any cute, single grad students from Harvard, HBS, HKS, HLS, HMS, etc. who are worried about visas know that we could get married next week 😜💍 ...although many of them are related to dictators & oligarchs already, so there may be less of a crisis than people think 🤣

WHAT SPORTS DO COLLEGE ATHLETES ACTUALLY PLAY? 🔎 As focus on maintaining opportunities + all the life lessons and school benefits of sports... It's remarkable how the vast majority play on so few core teams: With tight budgets, maybe non-core sports work OK as funded clubs? 🤔
