“Instead of making decisions about creating value for their future, they were making decisions about how much money could they make…” - Former Alabama FB Coach Nick Saban I’m glad athletes are able to be paid, but the NCAA needs to fix NIL & protect college sports… How to fix/protect college sports (see reply) 🧵

Refs in the UNC vs VCU game should be deported. Absolutely atrocious.

@CollinRugg He also wears #99 for Jesus Christ 👏 Thanks for amplifying this, @CollinRugg

NEW: High Point's Chase Johnston gives glory to Jesus Christ, mentions John 15:13 after upsetting Wisconsin in March Madness. "I just want to give all glory to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It's been an unbelievable season." "Just a group of guys that's built off, John 15:13. We serve each other, we love each other, and we'd die for each other." John 15:13: There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. H/t: @JonnyRoot_

Johnston wears #99 to bring attention/glory to Jesus Christ 👏

Johnston gave glory to Jesus Christ postgame 👏

High Point G Chase Johnston hit the game-winning bucket in their upset win vs Wisconsin with Acts 20:24 on his shoe. “But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.” Acts 20:24 The broadcaster falsely stated the Bible verse was about The Parable of The Lost Sheep, & tried to relate it to the game, but who cares, I’ll take as much Bible and Jesus in the game as possible 👍🏼

CRAZY STAT! Siena starters played every single minute of their first round game vs Duke. What an effort 👏

High Point G Chase Johnston, who hit the game-winner in their upset win over Wisconsin, wears jersey #99 to represent The Parable of the Lost Sheep where Jesus leaves the 99 to find the 1 👏

@CoachWingreen That’s what the broadcaster mixed up then. Love to hear it. Seems like a great kid.

@JonnyRoot_ He wears number 99 because of the parable of the lost sheep.

Good call, ABC/Disney 👏

The Bachelorette should 💯% be cancelled. This season and forever.

“First & foremost, I wanna give all glory to my Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ… We’re a group of guys built on John 15:13. We serve each other. We love each other. We’d die for each other.” - #12 High Point G Chase Johnston after upsetting #5 Wisconsin “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13.

@WesternPNW That wasn’t a travel

@JonnyRoot_ Not to be mean but he took three steps to the basket.

@OrionTanka0716 Glad Trump is stepping up on this issue.

@JonnyRoot_ It is a federal, congressional issue now after court rulings. Only Congress and States can fix this. And it will be tough to do uniformly.

How to Fix College Sports 👇🏼 • The House v. NCAA settlement forced schools to share revenue with athletes, a great change, yet it left every program scrambling for funds. Without new revenue, women's sports and Olympic programs are the first on the chopping block, and programs are already being cut. • The Sports Broadcasting Act gave the NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL the ability to pool and collectively negotiate media rights, shielding them from antitrust liability. College sports got nothing*. The result: 136 FBS programs fragmented across competing conference deals, leaving billions uncaptured. The NFL pools 32 teams into a national media juggernaut. The fix is obvious. *Nearly every athletic department in America is operating in the red, yet the NCAA has zero plan. On Friday, March 6th, President Trump held a round table to fix college sports ft. Tim Rebow, Urban Meyer, Nick Saban, SEC commissioner, & more. Here’s Trump’s plan to fix/protect college sports: whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…

@espn @FieldYates His family was killed by his trans-identifying father. Important part of the story you left out… Great story of resilience, though. Happy for him.

Blackstone Valley Co-op won the Rhode Island Division II championship Tuesday night. Colin Dorgan, whose family members were killed in a shooting at the teams Senior Day last month, scored the game-tying goal with less than a minute left in regulation. Blackstone Valley went on to win in 4OT. (via @NicoleMenner, @ZachLetson, @Branden_Mello)

Colin Dorgan, whose mother, brother & grandfather were murdered in Rhode Island by his trans father at a hockey game last month, scored the game-tying goal w/ 30 sec. left in the DII championship. Blackstone Valley Schools went on to win in quadruple OT

@priceline9909 Rocky is brown and he was my favorite character. Thanks for the engagement, James.

@JonnyRoot_ If Jon liked this movie I'm guessing there were no brown or black people in it.

Project Hail Mary was much better than Ryan Gosling’s throwing motion & his cornerback play in Remember the Titans 😂 Saw it in IMAX. It’s a cinematic treat, w/ great storytelling, & incredible visuals. 8/10. It should be a contender for best picture.

@joshuaginter There’s a lot of good ones out there for sure. Thanks brotha.

@JonnyRoot_ Not all of us, my man. Keep the amazing faith-based tweets coming. I loved seeing the post-game interview from Suarez.

It’s been comical (and pretty sad, really) to watch all of these Canadians flooding my replies after the USA lost to Venezuela. These people just don’t know what to do after we have owned them at their own sport in the Olympics, and took them down in the #WorldBaseballClassic, Stanley Cup, & World Series. Thanks for hate watching us, Canada.
