Art Briles has been hired as the head football coach at a D2 school and so is back in the news. If you want to understand why this hire is upsetting for many, here's the long piece @dansolomon.com and I wrote back in 2019 about How Baylor Happened: web.archive.org/web/20190208...
How Baylor Happened
WACO, Texas — There’s not much to recommend spending four years in Waco. Driving into town up Interstate 35 from the south, the endless stretch of Texas nothing fills out slowly. It’s flat in the way ...

Remember last year when we said we would drop The Tribune's paywall if we raised enough money to support the transition to free? About that… 😁

Though Stephen Curry has become the standard for point guards, Chris Paul’s 21 years of mastery deserve a more nuanced appreciation.

Hey Bissacia,
Yes, it's still me. I know you don't expect beef from me on a Saturday, but did you get a look at the Badgers squashing that punter after he muffed the ball? Maybe try something like that?
Yeah, I'm still watching you.

I’m so tired of startups that hire tons of reporters away from solid gigs, and then are laying off people a short period of time later.
Don’t hire people if you can’t afford to keep them.

The plan to let college athletes and coaches bet on pro sports is rejected by D-I colleges. I'm not surprised. Given everything going on with pro athletes facing criminal charges, the timing was bad. I get college students who play sports having same rights as classmates, but this vote makes sense.

If you're trying to convince your friends to spend time on Bluesky rather than X, maybe show them this. X is not "the public town square" or about "free speech." It's "just what Elon Musk wants you to see." If you see stuff he doesn't like he'll step in to make sure you don't see it for long.
If you scroll on X, you are only being shown what Elon wants you to see. If you create content on X, no one will see it unless Elon wants them to.

Is this the NCAA's FAFO moment? Ask government to make org rules and while you're kicking the can, someone in that group wakes up to the fact that your non-profit is profiting.
The NCAA and athletic conferences operate as tax-exempt organizations. I’m asking congressional policy experts to help Congress be proactive in determining the tax rules that should apply in light of the changing financial landscape of college athletics.
U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell wants answers about all the money being spent on contract buyouts for fired college sports coaches.

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.
