It takes a lot of energy to be offended by a ceremony designed, paid for, and executed in another country and culture than one's own.

And if we are going to continue looking for something to be offended by, I suggest the peacock basketball commentators' LeBron love fest.

I wonder if all the angst about kids getting a share of what the NCAA makes off of them is that we are losing the sense that they're doing it for fun. We can no longer pretend that these elite athletes haven't trained their entire lives and made extraordinary personal sacrifices to create the produ...

Maybe if the qualifications for the work were tied to ability to gain admission and retain academic eligibility? IDK...spitballing

When the NLRB issued the moronic opinion that Dartmouth BB players were employees, they didn't think about the deportation of foreign student-athletes. It's a real issue. Have foreign student-athletes been deported because of this change? I wonder if there's a movement to get international recruits...

It is only a matter of time before star academic recruits want to get their piece of this pie. Also, Band members, club leaders, artists, mathematicians, and other gifted and committed individuals in service to these universities should be lining up to receive financial inducements over and above s...

Hey, when you beat the 9th best team in the ACC, I say throw caution to the wind... Unc was open in person for all of a week in the fall....they were scheduled to kick back up Monday, can’t imagine this will help The majority of UNC instructors are still teaching remotely today (and for the rest of...
