Sums it up perfectly. Paying the loudest bloviators tens of millions while cutting ties with someone like Zach Lowe, who expertly meshes analytics with reporting and storytelling (very difficult!), is yet another example that, collectively, we’re careening toward the bottom.

A group of investors & ex-Disney executives have met with ADs at 30 power schools with a pitch: a $9 billion infusion as part of a 70-school football league. Looming over SEC & Big Ten meetings is "Project Rudy." "The claim is everybody will be saved." bit.ly/3TYO8QC
