Feel bad for Princeton. :(

Well yeah....but again......Judge didn't have the opportunity to wear ankle weights to prove he could do that, too. And for the record, I loathe anything Yankees (especially that insufferable @Sloopy) and I generally like the Mariners.

Actually WAR settled the ankle weights thing.

Exactly.

Not the highest probability strategy in the history of jurisprudence.

This is a far bigger fish than the TV money: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Ten_Academic_Alliance

BTAA is worth BILLIONS. USC leaving it won't hurt much but TCUN walking away from that kind of money is hilariously short-sighted by them.

The alliance doesn’t necessarily bring additional money into each school, it’s more doing collaborative research but keeping their money separate. It could bring more research dollars by noting the collaborating schools to juice their application when pursuing research grants.

I mean, if he's really serious and sticks to it, cool.

A certain frosty-tipped ESECPN commentator should take notes.

John Beam, coach featured on Netflix's 'Last Chance U,' dies after shooting on campus at Laney College​

Beam retired as Laney's coach in 2024 before becoming athletic director​

John Beam, the Laney College athletic director and former football coach who was featured in Netflix's "Last Chance U," died Friday morning after being shot on campus Thursday, authorities said. A suspect has been arrested in connection with the shooting, the Oakland Police Department said Friday.

The incident, the second school-related shooting in Oakland in as many days, occurred just before noon at the college's fieldhouse. Officers found Beam suffering from gunshot wounds, and he was taken to a hospital. The college was placed on lockdown shortly afterward.

"My thoughts are with coach John Beam and his loved ones," Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee shared in a statement. "We are praying for him. Coach Beam is a giant in Oakland -- a mentor, an educator and a lifeline for thousands of young people. For over 40 years, he has shaped leaders on and off the field, and our community is shaken alongside his family."

Beam, 66, became a nationally recognized figure after "Last Chance U" chronicled Laney's 2019 season. Before retiring as coach in 2024 and moving into the athletic director position, he led the program to two league championships and a 2018 state title, a season in which Laney finished 11-2 and was ranked the top community college team in the country. He also maintained a 90% graduation and transfer rate for his players, according to CBS News.

Gayle Benson insists she will not be selling the Saints or the Pelicans​

Sains owner Gayle Benson won’t be firing long-time G.M. Mickey Loomis. She also won’t be selling the Saints, or the NBA’s Pelicans.

“Let me be clear about this,” Benson said in an interview with Jeff Duncan of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, via Sports Business Journal. “The teams are not for sale. That’s in capital letters. I want everybody to know the teams are not for sale. I get tired of people asking me [if they’re for sale]. I’m going to turn 79 in January, but I’m pretty healthy. I hear that people want to talk to me about buying the team. I’m like, well, that’s a waste of my time. That’s not going to happen. And people need to calm down about the team moving.”

That said, Benson restated her long-term plans for the teams.

“It remains that when I die, both teams will be sold to the highest bidder and those proceeds will be used 100 percent to improve this community,” she said.

Just sayin': If that what will eventually be done, you would think that she would want to
1. sell the teams now,
2. have input how the money will be used to help the community,
and
3. enjoy seeing the actual improvements to the community before she dies.

I can step in here.. being that I have one OSU grad and one Rutgers grad..
Both were virtually identical requirements... some of the highest we dealt with.. excluding Northwestern and Lehigh which were in the mix.
Rutgers is pretty rigid and that even holds for NJ kids. Almost to a person, everyone that knew my daughter got into Rutgers.. congratulated me about her getting into an Ivy League school... most of my friends at the time were non-NJ folks. so your @calibuck perception is validated

That's OK, we'll catch him on the 'rebound' from Duke in the transfer portal.

Wonder if Meechie will snag an assistant coach position with SC? Or grad assistant coach?

Cinci, betcha that UFM said what he said on Gameday (or whatever they call themselves) as they were in Indiana to cover the game. He's a talking head now, and says the 'right' things. PS, Deion sells the 'sizzle' instead of the steak, and believe his time has run out. Please recollect, Lee Corso (and Dinardo) did ten years at Indiana, and both teams had miserable W-L records, but they had the personality (more Corso than Dinardo) to charm the AD/President to keep them around.
