I've coached Olympians for almost 40 years, and my athletes have won over 30 Olympic gold medals. I don't want a single one of them to be mentally tough. Mentally tough people break down under pressure. 🧵

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

NEW: Don't expect college football games to be free from politics. Billionaire booster/Trump ally Cody Campbell will run ads during CFB this weekend to tout ideas from his Saving College Sports campaign. He tells @FOS there "definitely" will be more. frontofficesports.com/cody-c…

Hardly a rivalry but every time these 2 play on the gridiron it is an epic matchup. In 3 of the 4 seasons, the winner went on to play in the national championship (winning it twice) and the 4th was the Fiesta Bowl in 2009. Comparing the 20 similar sports, Texas is way ahead!

This is too good to pass up! We play Ohio St. on August 31. So let's see Texas vs Ohio State. Need to work on some data-backed trash talk for my visit to the Shoe. @TexasFootball @TexasMSD

It's amazing how much progress has been made by "non-revenue" collegiate sports over the last few years when it comes to in-person and digital viewership of events... Wrestling? Sold 18,000+ tickets/day at NCAAs. Women's Basketball? 24M peak viewers for a game. Gymnastics? Most-watched postseason ever on ESPN. Women's Volleyball? Record Viewership in 2023. Softball? Record Viewership in 2025. Swimming & Diving? *crickets* In this new world of college athletics, we’re not just competing with other swim and dive programs—we’re going head-to-head with every other so-called “non-revenue” sport. And right now, we’re getting left behind. If we don't start taking the development of our digital and in-person fan experience seriously, the future looks incredibly bleak.
