Higher Ed. firings and resignations

Of course not. Unqualified applicants with rich parents will continue to get admitted because they are largely white. Unqualified people will continue to get jobs because they know the "right people."

The backlash over DEI has to do with one thing and one thing only -excluding people of color.

If ending DEI was truly about "hiring the best people" legacy admissions / job hires would go away. But it's not even mentioned and it's obvious why.
I mean you're not directing this at me are you?

My understanding is very few have done much about legacy admissions.

I'm just kind of curious as to whether no "DEI" and "only meritocracy" can or will be read by one or more "elite" institutions to prohibit inclusion of less-qualified white kids who happen to be multi-generational legacies with big donor parents, and, if so, what the feds will do should such big donors complain to them about it.

2025-2026 Ohio State Men's Basketball

Unfortunately, you can pretty much see in this program for over 10 years now there seems to be a lack of individual practice effort amongst players in this program, even guys who have been starting. It's not every player - there certainly have been some like Jamison Battle, EJ Liddell and a few others who have clearly put in the work & became very polished & skilled, but the work ethic in those guys has not been the norm. A lot of guys in this program just don't seem to seriously work on being the best they can be, and it's sad really because they should be looking seriously at basketball as being their first career & of course it's never a particularly long career so you should want to make the most out of it.
Teams are a reflection of their coach. Watch MSU play if you want to see a coach who gets everything out of his players.

Like I’ve said in the past we don’t have any Chris Jents and I don’t see any on the current or future roster.

Ryan Day admits why Ohio State went against the grain in the transfer portal to find a potential hidden gem for the Buckeyes

Ohio State took some big swings in the transfer portal last season, which made their approach this year look a lot different.

The Buckeyes didn’t need to go out and load up with Caleb Downs or Quinshon Judkins. Ohio State didn’t need to find a starting quarterback like they did with Will Howard. Instead, the Buckeyes found two potential starting tackles and other depth for the roster.

Ohio State even dipped into the FCS ranks and it caught the eyes of many. The Buckeyes don’t normally go after FCS transfers, but one player stood out that the Buckeyes thought would be a good addition to the program.

“He comes from the same hometown as Tommy and we at least knew some people there to ask questions about his background,” Ryan Day said on Monday of new DE Logan Georgia, who comes over from Idaho State. “Then watched his film and just saw a player that played really hard, and really physical, and tough. We brought him in and really liked his family and his support system.”

George is heading into his junior season and it is a big jump up in competition for him. However, the Buckeyes liked what they saw on tape and thought that it would translate well. George recorded 53 tackles and 5.5 sacks in his sophomore season.

“He’s a very serious guy, but he’s earned the respect from the team early on.”

George will figure into the defensive end rotation that will likely see Kenyatta Jackson and Caden Curry as the starters. Behind that it should be C.J. Hicks and George who will look for second-team snaps in Larry Johnson’s unit.

Ohio State will have two years to develop George, who they think can be a strong player for their defense. The 6-foot-5, 260-pound pass rusher looks the part and Buckeye fans will get their first look at him in the spring game next month.
