@BrianSozzi Any chance we could get a copy of the report?

Citi on World Cup attendance and ticker prices being paid: "Among those planning to attend matches in person, the United States is the most popular destination, with 66% of all in-person attendees planning to watch matches there. Mexico ranks second at 41% and Canada third at 37%. Of those planning to attend in person, 72% have already purchased tickets, with US-based attendees showing the highest confirmed purchase rate at 86%. According to our survey, most attendees plan to attend 2–3 matches, and the average ticket price paid across all respondents is approximately $592 USD, with US-based attendees reporting the highest average at $653."

This idea blew up… and @jeffblankenburg went ahead and built it. boxscore.email

@reinhardNFL What will a cumulative +/- look like for each team after all 7 rounds of the draft? Dolphins must have the most negative value thus far?

3rd round picks based on where they sat on the consensus board when they were picked

NEW: Inside FIFA President Gianni Infantino’s desperate attempt to keep Iran in the World Cup - Infantino bent over backwards wooing Trump, so much that FIFA Secretary General Mattias Grafström thinks it’s too much - And yet Trump has not made Infantino’s life easier during the war, telling me “I ready don’t care” if Iran plays - Infantino rushed over to the WH to meet Trump but Trump woke up the next morning and posted he doesn’t think Iran should once “for their own life and safety.” - Infantino then flew to Turkey to work the Iranians at their friendly against Costa Rica, missing the European playoffs. He met head coach and Iranian federation over fruit and cookies, and claimed at halftime “Iran will be at the World Cup” - FIFA then denied Iran’s request to move the games to Mexico - Islamabad peace talks failed last night, and Iran is scheduled to arrive in Arizona for training camp by June 10 politico.com/news/2026/04/1…

LOL the WNBA had more teams LAST CENTURY than they do now.

Enjoyed delivering research talks on the 2026 World Cup at Georgia Tech and University of Georgia this week. Special thanks to Kirk Bowman (GT) and Cas Muddle (UGA) for the invitation and top notch hospitality.

@TimCary @FavianRenkel I’m there too!

Who got World Cup tickets today? #FIFAWorldCup #WorldCup

This reminds me of the summer of 2015. LFC backed Rodgers with ~£100 million in the transfer window when the writing was on the wall. He was sacked 8 games into the next season.

Absolute icon. Never forget it. #LFC

What a truly special night for @miamiuniversity. So many of my current and former students turned out in support of the Redhawks. Absolute 🔥 performance from @MiamiOH_BBall.

@watanabe2k Doubleheader. Impressive.

So, I did something tonight…

@scottp12 Enrollment management balances three inversely-related variables: selectivity (i.e., admit rate); total number of students (i.e. making the class), and $'s per student (i.e., discount rate). A good year we hit 2 of the 3. A great year, we can do all 3.

@scottp12 Unfortunately, increasing selectivity is just not a reality in the current admissions landscape, given the demographic challenges, current attitudes of higher ed, and the diminishing wage premium for those with a college degree.

There is, perhaps, no university in the country testing the 'front porch hypothesis' of college athletics more than Miami at the moment.

Who knows if Iran will be able to participate in the World Cup this summer, with the U.S. bombing the country. My latest for Forbes.com, a history of national teams that have been banned or refused to play in the World Cup. tinyurl.com/bdh6e3bc

The MAC’s perception is some kumbayah league of tight knit teams and lots of parity But in reality a clear gap has been established between the programs with resources to compete in college sport’s current era and the ones that can’t These two types of programs won’t stay the in the same conference much longer, and this is Miami saying they’re ready to set sail

5 of the top 10 TV markets for college basketball are within a 2-hour drive of Oxford, OH.

@miamiboggs There are a few additional levers, many of which are initiatives in the Miami THRIVE strategic plan. This approach makes more sense for Miami than many other institutions given the non-resident student pop. (~40%), sizeable alumni base, and deep financial reserves (~$2B endow.)

@ExtraBeissHit What other levers does Miami have? This one feels like a decent path in the current environment or the looming chaos (enrollment cliff + college sports turbulence)

@bruce_weingart @Bagel_and_Deli @MiamiOH_BBall @CoachSteeleMU @MiamiOH_DSayler @KhristianSmith_ @MiamiRedHawks @decker_kp We also need a 31-0 bagel!

Hey @Bagel_and_Deli you need to get the Travis Steele Bagel-bacon, eggs, cheese and hash browns on a chocolate chip bagel!! @MiamiOH_BBall @CoachSteeleMU @MiamiOH_DSayler @KhristianSmith_ @MiamiRedHawks @decker_kp
