Just as a head’s up: If you’re trying to use the > trick to make your twitter link show in your post, it makes a difference if the link is twitter.com/whatever or x.com/whatever

Elon is doing a bang-up job over there.

Fwiw, I think the app defaults to X.com, and the laptop version still goes to Twitter.com.

I guess there are pros and cons to interoperability, but it certainly doesn’t seem to be something current leadership seems to care about

A simpler way imo is just to highlight the web address after pasting it in then hit the blockquote option at the top.

Hmmmm…legitimate question: would this mean that private universities with higher endowments have a comparative advantage?

There are way too many variables to even start to answer that coherently. But I generally think that, absent some sort of a salary cap that has been collectively bargained, and maybe even with, teams with the largest revenue sources (tickets and conference media rights deals, mostly) will generally have the biggest advantage, just like they have the biggest advantages now in coaching salaries, and nice facilities, and recruiting budgets, etc.

Agree. Most endowment money is encumbered for other purposes. That’s not to say a university couldn’t raise endowment money for such a purpose. Tony has an endowed coach position, some professors have endowed chairs, why not an endowed player…

These anonymous coach articles are always good. The wide range of approaches is interesting is this one. Not to mention the cringe terminology being used…negotiating to get players under slot value haha

Good guess since Tony probably doesn’t want to spend his time on this type of interview.
But definitely sounds like UVA

Certainly a good cause, and I understand the effort to reach young people through student athletes. They could try closing the border to stop fentanyl from reaching people at all though.
