We allowed a grade inflation culture to persist. It's makes students fragile. Parents wrongly think their kids are higher performers than they actually are. 60 Minutes recently posted a story about a girl who graduated high school with near perfect grades but is also illiterate.

For years, Harvard has been handing out A’s in abundance. Now, a proposed cap would pump the brakes—and students are up in arms. 🔗 on.wsj.com/4sScPOc

@ImCollegeSoccer And over 2/3 of D1 players are internationals so it’s even less of American high school players.

There’s a huge gap difference between expectations and reality for recruits during the recruitment process. The expectation is to Play NCAA D1 at an elite school. That’s fine, you should want the best. But the reality is most of you will not play NCAA D1 soccer.
1% of you will play NCAA D1 Power 4 or at an elite D1 mid-major.
1% of you will play at a lower tier mid-major D1.
5%+ of you will play D2, D3, NAIA & JC
Please make sure to cast a wide net and consider ALL your options.

@AndyStaples You get paid $7 million to coach football and with that you get the blame.

"It is easy to point the finger at the head coaches, but the last two head coaches, I don’t think, had the support that we have right now.”

@LFTGPod01 @Moore_CFB @AndyAriOn3 @AndyStaples @AriWasserman I don’t believe that for a second except under Moorhead. His ultimate failures were he’s terrible at hiring coordinators and doesn’t know ball enough to overrule his coordinators.
English
@Moore_CFB @AndyAriOn3 @AndyStaples @AriWasserman Think whatever risk he did take on, didn't work out.
I think it was a say in play-calling.
English
Interesting reflection from James Franklin on @AndyAriOn3 about his time at Penn State:
“I took on some risk that I typically don’t take on.”
Would love to know what he’d change with a do-over.

@iAnonPatriot Iraq said the same thing and we saw how that worked out for them.

BREAKING: 🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iranian spokesperson claims, “In the ground operation, we will create a slaughterhouse for the Americans to instill such fear that for several future generations, Americans will not volunteer to join the army."
English
@Polymarket Then the French like all of Europe can struggle to have oil and keep paying $9 per gallon for gasoline.
English
JUST IN: French President Macron says it’s “unrealistic” to try to reopen the Strait of Hormuz through military force.
English
Big guest on the show today. James Franklin joins and is honest about having a huge chip on his shoulder after the way things went down at Penn State last year.
English
@AriWasserman @audsnyder4 Did you ask him why he didn’t have that same motivation after he lost to Notre Dame and then Oregon but instead laid an egg against UCLA and Northwestern? He’s a good talker but not a good in game coach.
English
@audsnyder4 Do you realize I would have been the reason he was still Penn State's coach?!?!?!

@sentdefender @Zigmanfreud They’re pretty dumb over there in Iran if they think they are stronger after this war.
English
Multiple U.S. intelligence agencies have assessed in recent days that the Iranian Government is not currently willing to engage in serious or substantial negotiations to end the ongoing war against Israel and the United States. Assessments indicate that the Iranian Government believes it is in a strong position in the war and does not have to accede to America’s diplomatic demands, and while Iran is willing to keep channels open, it does not trust the United States or President Trump, U.S. officials have told The New York Times.

I’m starting to track these stories. We’re seeing a swell in male college athletes taking their lives either during or right after college. There’s a direct correlation between these suicides and an early life of youth/travel sports. 20s is when the damage shows.
English
@ScottPaterno It’s a smart move - I’m absolutely fed up with arrogant Europeans living off our strength and courage.
English
If he leaves the strait closed, he will make the Mullahs more powerful than ever.
He can’t be that stupid.

🚨Trump: “All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT. You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us. Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is done. Go get your own oil! President DJT”

@drantbradley That’s not what happens - I read the Scripture on my phone before the sermon and then it gets put away.
English
When the sermon starts, this is what pastors see. Doubly bizarre: many churches remove kids from service so parents aren't distracted, yet parents sit on their phones. Worse: churches set up texting notifications for the kids & parents constantly check phones during service.
English
@USMNT You have to be dumb to think that’s a positive moment. Belgium stopped playing with intensity after going up 5-1 and the game over. Poch is a fraud.
English
Mauricio on the mic following yesterday's match.

@TaylorTwellman And Ream should have blocked instead of whiffing.

FWIW. I thought Turner should have gotten this and I’m not sure it’s that hot of a take. Thoughts?! #USMNT
English
🇺🇸 Mauricio Pochettino after 5-2 defeat vs Belgium: “You need to learn from this type of result, some good things that we need to take because I think it's not all negative news”.
“We were not aggressive enough”.
English
@stellamydog They’re really upset that their puppet Democrat party lost the White House, Senate and House again plus could not manage the SCOTUS nominees in Obama’s term. No kings is really code for we have no power.
English
@21failbot @sonusvarghese @Jesse_Livermore @sidprabhu Just like we learned during Covid when the supply chain was held hostage by China we are learning now we can’t be held hostage by Iran.
English
@CoachJEB18 @sonusvarghese @Jesse_Livermore @sidprabhu The assumption is this will be done in short order.... there are lots of repairs and pivots happening world wide.
English
My guess as to how this proceeds: Trump walks away, "Mission Accomplished", leaves Strait as a problem for ROW. Iran tolls it, arguing the toll funds are needed to rebuild the country. But they are generous w/ deals and avoid tolling it to a point that provokes crisis or outrage.
First Squawk@FirstSquawk
U.S. Vice President Vance: We have achieved the majority of our military objectives in Iran, and it can be said that all of these objectives have been achieved.
English
@sonusvarghese @Jesse_Livermore @sidprabhu It’s clearly Iran’s advantage in negotiations. Their ideology is silly instead of just being like China and keeping power through economic strength.
English
@CoachJEB18 @Jesse_Livermore @sidprabhu Agreed … but that’s where we are now
40% of PCE is tied to stuff coming from around the world, and for now that’s levered to the Strait
English
@sonusvarghese @Jesse_Livermore @sidprabhu We’re going to see more pipelines, train routes, canals, etc. to reduce their hold with the strait. Can’t be beholden to one way for transport.
English
@CoachJEB18 @Jesse_Livermore @sidprabhu Will increasingly become isolated as Iran now has a veto on the global economy (and ergo, US inflation/monetary policy)
Sonu Varghese@sonusvarghese
Won’t be a problem for RoW as long as the oil flows, and a toll obviously paid to Iran Toll + Brent @ $80 & regular oil/gas flows better option than no toll + no oil/gas flows And RoW will live with an Iranian nuke as well, like it’s learned to live with NK/Pakistani nukes US (and especially Israel) will clearly not accept an Iranian nuke but from here on any military action will come with an Iranian veto of the global economy. Not going back to the pre 2/27 world
