@Brit5416 @RossDellenger I hope thays the case. My 2026 grad had to habe hip surgery and missed aot of the year so aftwr talking to multiple coaches decided to take a gap year. Then this came out... If not, he'll deal.l I suppose

@FishinFed @RossDellenger The way I read this document is that the 26 HS grads can still have a grace/gap year and still get full 5. Most likely because these kids had already made their plans to stop the recruiting process to attend prep or simply take a year off. Looks like the 27 grads are out of luck

The NCAA distributed a chart to member schools outlining the implementation scenarios of the 5-year, age-based eligibility concept. It’s clear the NCAA is expecting to adopt the concept for 2026-27. Important: Final waivers under current rules must be submitted by July 31.

@BeloitSoccer @RossDellenger What's the one year grace period though? Just curious

@FishinFed @RossDellenger This rule eliminates “gap” years.

Off the news of the Arkansas men’s and women’s tennis programs being cut. Only 1/9 on the men’s team was an American. 4/11 on the women’s team were American. NEW NCAA RULE PROPOSAL: If your program isn’t 51% American it should be cut. Dropped immediately.

@ClemsonRT Fallujah, Iraq. Watching on AFN

Were you there? James Davis jersey rip td against FSU is cemented in Clemson lore.

U.S. Open Cup opener in Sacramento turns ugly tonight following the Republic FC's second goal of the game, ends up a 2-0 victory over El Farolito. The match, with the postgame melee, had 13 misconducts, 3 ejections. El Farolito players going after fans in the stands after.

@USLPlayers @USLTactics The players got screwed. All of them were great guys. Owner raided the youth side for at least two years

Fans deserve more than three sentences. Players deserve more than three months. #StandUpForStandards

@boy_yanki @league1updater Keep in mind they didn't actually *tell* anyone this. It got figured out

@FishinFed @league1updater Thanks a lit for sharing. With the expenses and the small attendance numbers, I was curious how they managed to keep the pro side afloat for as long as they did. This provides a but more insight.

Absolutely gutted over this, but now the question becomes: why was this not figured out back in the Fall, before a new batch of players signed on and moved to Statesboro, and now find themselves as free agents with most other rosters now full? MORE: beyondthe90.substack.com/p/usl-league-o…

@league1updater The club raised parent fees on the youth side to make the pro sidelook viable.

@miketirico Heck of job on the Winter Olympics Sir! No one...no one does it like you. Thanks for bringing the heart into our homes!

An engineer dies and ends up in Hell. 😈 Engineers don’t usually end up there, so the Devil is pretty surprised. Hell, as expected, is a mess — the AC is broken, the pool is empty, the roads are falling apart, and everything is miserable. 🔥 After some time, the engineer starts fixing things. The AC works again, the pool is full, roads are repaired, and suddenly Hell is… comfortable. 😳😄 Eventually, God looks down and notices people in Hell actually enjoying themselves. Confused, He calls the Devil and asks what’s going on. The Devil replies, “That engineer you sent us has been fixing things. He’s doing wonders down here!” God exclaims, “WHAT?! Engineers don’t go to Hell! That must have been a mistake. You have to give him back: he belongs in Heaven!” The Devil crosses his arms and says, “No way. We like our engineer.” God says, “If you don’t give him back, I’ll sue you!” ⚖️ The Devil grins and replies, “Yeah, good luck with that? Where are you going to get a lawyer?” 😂

@deptulahasrage It doesn't stop. It gets worse.

Clemson would have told a Ferrelli to pound rocks in the past. This is sadly where we are in CFB. Dabo has been the one guy who has had all this stuff right all along. I said yesterday that we are two years away from a 10M per year college QB, then we find out about the Mensah situation which would essentially create one right now. How and when does this stop?

@MattFinnFNC Bro....keep your head on a swivel

Breaking: we are on the scene of the latest ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis and the site is surrounded by large crowds of angry protestors. Blowing the whistles. Screaming "murderers!" "You're gonna start a war!" Chopper above.

@QualkTalk Preparation and flawless execution. Details Details Details

No matter how many times I see it, my brain still doesn’t fully comprehend that Indiana is lining up with a fairly basic playbook, with almost no blue chip recruits, and is absolutely abusing the most revered programs in the sport so thoroughly that it almost seems mean-spirited.

A DEEP DIVE -- Thoughts From a Competent Lawyer on the Minneapolis ICE Shooting: 1. The left is positively turgid about this INCIDENT. They wanted a shooting and did everything they could to set the conditions that made it inevitable, from the rhetoric of the Democrat politicians to the provocations on the street. One leftist white lady dead is a small price to pay for the martyr they wanted. 2. Note that yesterday (1/6/26), the Democrats changed from “The feds are the Gestapo” to “A zillion federal officers died defending Our Democracy, and we support these heroes- here’s a plaque!” back to “The feds are the Gestapo” the very next day. 3. The law is clear – you can use deadly force against someone threatening you with deadly force. The ICE agent had no duty to retreat. This does not matter to the left and its narrative. You will see many experts with zero actual knowledge of the law opining – including the typically terrible cadre of leftist lawyers. 4. The video is clear that the driver was heading at and came in contact with the ICE agent. He had a right to use deadly force to defend himself. This does not matter to the left and its narrative. The left will do everything it can to keep people from looking at the actual video that shows the incident. It will push video that does not show the incident clearly, as well a perjured or irrelevant witness statements. 5. The leftist narrative will be “Trump’s ICE nazis are literally murdering innocent people.” This will work on Democrats and Republican sissies. Normal people will ask why she did not comply with the officers’ orders and why she drove at a cop. Properly addressed, we can leverage the gross irresponsibility of the Dem pols and communist foot soldiers to defeat their bogus narrative. 6. The corrupt state of Minnesota will “investigate” even though its senior officials have already announced that this was murder, and the ICE agent will be indicted in state court. The feds will remove it to federal court, where the case will fail. 7. There will be a civil suit against the US government and the shooter. It will be heard in federal court. Qualified immunity will apply. 8. The shooter will be doxed and his family threatened by leftists, who will cheer this on. 9. There will be rioting in Minneapolis, probably low-grade, since too much will make the left lose sympathy. If it gets serious, look to Trump to send in the armed forces, perhaps under the Insurrection Act. 10. The anti-ICE direct actions will accelerate. Trump will not back down. There will be a decision point facing to the left: Continue the current level of actions, which will have zero effect, or escalate into (further) attempts to murder ICE agents. Some leftists will embrace escalated violence. The Administration should focus rigorously on the following key points: 1. ICE was present in Minneapolis doing its job removing dangerous criminals. 2. Democrat politicians are creating a dangerous situation with their rhetoric and caused this incident. 3. Democrat activists have been putting people at risk with their dangerous action and it must stop. 4. The communist woman was ordered to stop but attempted to kill a federal agent, who lawfully defended himself with deadly force. WATCH THE VIDEO. 5. WE WILL NTO BACK DOWN FROM MAKING AMERICA SAFE FORM ILLEGAL ALIEN CRIMINALS, INCLUDING FRAUDSTERS.

@theurbancore Ain't crazy if it's real Biggie T

12-4 is crazy talk.

You won’t be scared of Pennywise after this. Behind the scenes of IT, Bill Skarsgård is the exact opposite of terrifying. Joking between takes, breaking tension, resetting the room — proof the scariest monsters often come from the nicest people.

@theurbancore As a Clemson guy, this does not surprise me. Dude was a beast in college

E T N

@theurbancore Can't wait to get to a game!

Oh hey.
