Clark Hunt is facing a similar decision Lamar Hunt had, Stramm in 70s, Reid in 26. Trusting Vets like 7 & 95, playing not to win, time mgmt. Failing at the little things.

My latest episode of Shifting the Power Balance just dropped. A conversation with Scott D. Hamilton. open.spotify.com/episode/4Z3…

One word in a contract could decide an $18.7M battle. In this KC Star interview, I highlighted how the word “reasonable” may shape the legal fight over K-State Coach Jerome Tang’s firing. Next week on my podcast Shifting the Power Balance, I will break things down in depth:

Spent last 24 hours reviewing Tang’s contract, Fed/St laws @TomMarsLaw. Morals clause 2 term Tang sets KSU on collision course impacts 2 climate culture recruiting, U relations; X can’t do justice to the depth of argmts Mars has & damage @KSTATEADGT & Pres may have done 2 KSU.

1980 OU/UGA sued NCAA byproduct, creating the CFB TV today. Antitrust monopoly exist today with CFP ESPN and SEC today. Does @Big12Conference BYU ACC,ND,P12 G5 have courage 2 do in 2025 what OU/UGA did in 1980, or terminate ESPN agmnt move 2 WB/Netflix w/rev share, w NIL like NFL

Props to Utah earned the win. The officiating at best was questionable. @KStateFB have the courage to call out the B12, there are plenty of us who will donate to pay the fine.

Chris Klieman says it is time for Kansas State to make wholesale changes. The current approach isn't working on offense or defense. "I don't know what our identity is right now after four games. I thought I did after Iowa State, but that hasn't come to fruition."

Can anyone in the media covering @royals ask Q to explain this lineup for a team in a pennant race and a day off. Isbel makes the play in CF, playing Tolbert Loftin Maile Massey, no Yaz India Isbel ?

We've lost a wonderful human being. For everything Greg was as a play-by-play voice that brought games alive, he was a better person. My love and prayers are with Amy and their daughters. Cancer is a thief and the devil's creation. We need to solve this because it can be.
For 17 years, Greg Sharpe spoke past the microphone and into our hearts. His legacy will be woven into the moments he narrated and carried on through the relationships he built. We are deeply saddened by Greg’s passing and send our deepest condolences to the Sharpe family.

"Sir" Charles Barkley tees off on the current and future state of college sports: "These NCAA fools, lets call them jackasses like they are, I'm trying to figure out how we've screwed up college sports. I wouldn't call it the Wild Wild West, because that would be disrespectful to the Wild Wild West. I have no idea how we ruined college sports. I understand why Danny Hurley would be like "I should go to the NBA and make a lot of money and not have the headaches of NIL and transfer portal." I don't know where college sports going, but it's going in a bad direction. We've screwed up college sports for the 1%, the 1% of players who probably make all the money, but we've screwed it up for the 99% who actually need college sports to get a free college education. I feel so sad for the 99%... There's going to be a lot of schools that are going to have to go under because they can't afford to pay players....I think women's sports are going to suffer." -Charles Barkley, Don't At Me, @dandakich 6/7/24

The NCAA and college prez attempting to settle; TNT loses the NBA, TNT about to become a major player in college athletics, NCAA athletes are cheaper than Hollywood shows. The NCAA wouldn’t settle unless everyone can keep getting paid including college admin/coaches + players
