NEW EXTRA POINTS: What if, Victoria Jackson argues, instead of cutting dozens of walk-on spots across the country in multiple sports we just bring back JV teams? extrapointsmb.com/p/guest-post-f…

But best part is Pablo Torre 🕳️’s bonus person to those 11, Harvard prof Warren Goldfarb, author of Deductive Logic—the textbook of JH’s that BB had signed on the plane—to perform some of that very same deductive logic on JH’s age and possible age change/confusion motives. 🤣🤣

The Oregonian asked me to do a story probing the future of college track. Spoiler alert: unless something changes, the future is bleak. oregonlive.com/ducks/2025/05/…

Just as the first match of the 2026 Men’s World Cup will be played in Estadio Azteca to honor its history, the first match of the 2031 Women’s World Cup should be played in the same place, and for the same reason: History. nytimes.com/athletic/63940…

The House settlement is not the end. It’s a step along the way, and a whole lot more work needs to be done to create better, optimized policy for the many different industries and missions operating under the umbrella of American college sports.

Track & Field becomes Track Only at Washington State University. This despite “twenty of the school’s 45 track & field Olympians have been jumpers, throwers and multi-event athletes.” seattletimes.com/sports/wsu-cou…

A very interesting development in a post-House settlement world. A lot of schools will have to make decisions like this. Which sports do they want to be nationally competitive in — and which ones will they cut/support but with fewer resources than their peers?

It's easy to roll your eyes at the Club World Cup's origin story and bemoan the chaotically congested football calendar... but I'm also finding it difficult not to be sucked in.This tournament will succeed in long term.⁦Victoria Jackson⁩ and I checked out Juve vs Al Ain in DC
