D3 doesn’t ban athletic scholarships by accident. It bans them on purpose.
No scholarship = no pressure to treat sports like a job. Athletes stay students first. Why is that an issue? Result of their approach? Highest graduation rates in the NCAA, the most participants, and kids who actually play for the love of the game.
Force scholarships and you kill the only division that still operates as the last form of amateurism in the country.

The Replacement's 'Tim' is as powerful an evocation of working class life as any by Springsteen or Pulp. Resentment and joy dwell in nearly every detail: bus route-courtships, scared-but-stalwart-single-mothers and the watering holes where every night dreams both blossom and die.

Can we cancel Steven A already?
He’s just a court jester pretending to be a sports an analyst.

Weekends need to always be three days. We need a petition for Monday to be a weekend day - cause come on - who wouldn’t rather work four 10 hour days and always have three day weekends?!?

I don’t want to hear fake tributes to Dolly Parton from fascist republicans, I’ll never forget them defunding her Imagination Library childhood reading program earlier this year. Spare us the bullshit, we see you.

To the police officers standing behind him right now, do you think this truly builds trust within your community? If I’m a criminal defense attorney, this would be one of the first things I’d cross examine one of these cops about before a Long Island jury and I could create reasonable doubt without even knowing what the case is about.

Neal Degrasse Tyson said it perfectly..
“- believing that scientists, scholars, historians, economists and journalists have devoted their entire lives deceiving you, while a reality TV star with decades of fraud and exhaustively documented lying is your only beacon of truth and honesty”
Referencing Trump.

Teachers don’t get laid off in the summer. Most of them are on permanent contracts. This guy is a dumb fuck.

Bulldozers have begun tearing up Big Bend National Park just a stone's throw from Santa Elena Canyon. DHS waived every environmental & cultural resource protection. No surveys have been done. We don't even know what kind of cultural history they are destroying. 📷Natalie Newman.

More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.

I support the sovereignty of Greenland and a close alliance between the U.S., Greenland and Denmark as members of NATO. The President’s foolish comments towards a NATO ally has seriously undermined America’s credibilty in Europe. This is not a board game. newsweek.com/trump-greenland…

After berating Dr. Fauci for undermining trust in vaccines and public health, Sen. Ron Johnson regurgitates completely false statistics about the number of COVID vaccine deaths. The number he cited comes from VAERS, which can include any death after receiving the vaccine, even if the cause of death was not the vaccine.

This is one of the dumbest and most bizarre Executive Orders we have ever read.
Clearly, this Administration knows they are trying to commit Executive overreach over our nation’s independent cultural institutions. This EO is a clear political overreach, driven by an ideological agenda to rewrite American history. Our Smithsonian institutions do not belong to the President, but to the American people and so does our nation’s history.

@AndyKimNJ @CoryBooker PLEASE just say no to making Daylight Savings Time permanent. It was already tried, failed, and would be a disaster if implemented.

One of many questions: Will the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC) carry the speech live? They rejected live coverage of primetime addresses by Obama in 2014 and Biden in 2022, deeming those addresses partisan and political. Same here?
