Walked away from large following awhile back because Twitter became a cesspool of political hate. I'm back. Starting over. Trying to stick to my roots. @AFSBALL #CollegeAthletics #CollegeSoftball #CollegeFootball #TravelBall, and maybe a little #ProfessionalLiability & #TitleIX.

@kdamp @TexasCat78666 @TXStateUnivSyst @txst Thank you!

Four years ago today, the @TXStateUnivSyst Regents named me the 10th president at @txst. It’s hard to believe all that’s happened since then, but suffice it to say that it’s been the best time of my career. I can’t wait to see what our team does in the years to come!⭐️🐾

Win the games you play! DESTROY everyone! Stop whining about another P4 team refusing to schedule you. The P4 owe us nothing.

Love my life! Stay in school! Dream big! Never EVER settle! #IHeartBoko @txst @TxStateBobcats @TXStateSoftball @TXSTATEFOOTBALL #TexasStateSoftball #TXStateFootball #EatEmUpCats #Galveston

Reject mediocrity.

Hey @rhoback! Would like to introduce you to @txst. Founded in 1899. Produced one U.S. President. 7th largest university in Texas. Currently 44,000+ student enrollment. Member the @pac12. @kdamp @TXSTATEFOOTBALL @TxStateBobcats rhoback.com/collections/li…

I learned by trial and error how to build successful, lasting teams and organizations. Empower those take ownership in the organization's success over their own. Be fearless in the storm. Don't settle. instagram.com/p/DW4BIwnirAL/…

Season tickets bought for @TXSTATEFOOTBALL inaugural year in new @pac12! @txst #EatEmUpCats #IHeartBoko #PAC12 #TXSTATEFOOTBALL #TXST

Pretty good little softball league here. Conference play is going to be fun for @TXStateSoftball!⭐️🐾

Surrounded by Millennials & Gen Zs. We're figuring it out. Making mistakes. Misunderstanding each other. But after 20 yrs coaching, if they know you GENUINELY care, they'll forgive your mistakes, adapt & together, we'll change this world. entrepreneur.com/leadership/why…

Still trying to figure out how a handful of private donors paying a relatively small number of college football players threatens the very existence of college athletics.

Absolutely laughing my ass off at the ineptitude of Team USA coaches. Every coach who doesn't play every game to win should remember this debacle. What an embarrassment. usatoday.com/story/sports/m…

One of the best small stadiums in college football is UFCU stadium, home to the Texas State Bobcats. It holds just over 28,000 and underwent a $42 million upgrade before the 2025 season.

@CodyC64 @kdamp Forgive me, but neither you, 99 percent of big donors, or virtually any P4 commissioner gave a damn about women's sports until the NIL era. Stop claiming now you're acting to save women's soccer or softball.

College Sports are broken, and those who first made the mess and profit handsomely from the status quo do not want to fix it. Without meaningful change, opportunities for thousands and thousands of talented student athletes will disappear and women’s and Olympics sports programs will be canceled. A disjointed and disorganized revenue generation system is the root cause, and everybody in college sports knows it - including many members of the Big 10 and SEC, who have recently reported staggering and unsustainable athletic deficits and debts. Ironically, at least one of these two commissioners, who argue that the status quo is “just fine”, have simultaneously pursued onerous private equity and debt deals to paper over the overwhelming deficits many of their member institutions face. The situation is even more dire in the lower-revenue conferences, as is well known. Our primary objective is to provide athletic programs, both big and small, the tools they need to achieve financial sustainability and preserve all of their programs, scholarships, and roster spots. We want to grow the financial pie, and make it work for everybody - doing so in a way that doesn’t not punish or take revenue away from the “big boys”. Not only is this the right thing to do, it is also consistent with the President’s “Saving College Sports” Executive Order, that was issued last summer. The posture of these two commissioners indicates that they do not care about the fate of the other conferences or smaller schools, nor do they care about the life-changing opportunity provided to women and to athletes in our Olympic sports. It seems they have chosen to disregard the directives of the President and the will of the American people. Change is difficult, I get that, especially when it means dismantling a long-held, broken, backwards system. My sincere hope is that, instead of throwing up roadblocks to our congressional momentum, we can work together on solutions that put the student athletes first and preserves the viability of the great American institution of college sports.

Chilly and windy day for future @pac12 foe @TXStateSoftball and @TxStateBaseball fun. The ladies split their series with Colorado State (1-1) after run-ruling Brown early this morning. The fellers took the series from the Zags (2-1) with a 5-0 win. Eager to host UTSA Tuesday!🐾⭐️

@TopTierState Zero credibility. LOL.

Watching @SouthwestAir implode with this new assigned seating policy. Random boarding groups with assigned seating not working. Customers talking in line. When we leave, likely not coming back. Give me a reason to switch @AmericanAir @Delta. #NoOverheadBins

Start by asking how do we resolve this problem created by a firm policy that otherwise prevents an employee from doing something positive for the firm. Employee moral and firm culture usually should prevail over 99 percent of all firm policies. Knowing when to trust a good employee by bending or even breaking rules is the true mark of leadership.
