@carmenbott @SmartMusclesMD Is it 12 credits / semester? Depending on the department that could be done with 3x 4 credit classes. CCAA is 9 credits / semester (unless it has changed in the last few years). I think that is a more reasonable number & students can take courses in the summer too if they like

@SmartMusclesMD @carmenbott Games against UBC, UFV, UVic, TRU, UBCO & others in province would be fun & get better attendance. Exhibition games against CCAA schools like Douglas, Langara, & Capilano in some sports have been good entertainment as well

@SmartMusclesMD @carmenbott As an alum I would much prefer they compete in USports while softball and outdoor track & field compete in NAIA like UBC does. Competing against tiny American schools has little benefit & not a lot of interest in games against St Martins or Northwest Nazarene

The SFU lawyer said that all varsity teams were part of D2 NCAA competition. Not true. Only on April 20th, did women's wrestling join D2. And now the swimming team joins D2 in June. (men's wrestling already had D2 competition) Statements made in court are now true in retrospect.

Why did the @SFUathletics use uncertainty and not having a conference to play in as justification to shutter football, while overcoming similar complex barriers for other athletic programs?

@ameliagrace1989 30 days? Pathetic, at this point the only conclusion I can come to is that Gymnastics Canada does not care about the health or safety of their membership. A sad state of affairs

To sum up today: - QC coach accused of horrible verbal and physical abuse of child athletes given a 30 day “recommended”suspension. Returning to the gym June 11. - COC official on Twitter seemingly minimizes the abuse of Canadian athletes. We are very tired. And very angry.

I've been at this for 20 years. This is the most difficult article I've ever had to read or share. I want you to know how great my Harvard captain Chris Eitzmann was. I want you to know how far he fell before he died last year & was diagnosed with #CTE. I want you do know how hard the Harvard football community tried to help him, and how supportive members have been to me. And I want you to know that I don't believe the same fate is inevitable for me. But after 15 years of studying CTE, I'd be a fool to think it's not possible. That's why I keep fighting. wapo.st/3W3jMfE

@RebelsAthletics @BNWSAA @sfu_athletics I was on javelin official duty for the bantams & seniors. Your throwers were awesome! Regardless of where they placed, all of them put gave their best effort & were a pleasure to interact with. Well done Burnaby South, see you all at zones!

@ChrisNowinski1 @stephenasmith The worst part is that Molly Qerim tries multiple times to be the responsible one here & he just keeps talking over her. At what point does @espn fire this guy, so they can put together a panel that actually knows what they are talking about? Sooner the better

Shame on you @stephenasmith. This kind of 2005 talk sends a terrible message to young athletes. You know better. It doesn't have to look catastrophic to cause #concussion. And asking 6'10" guys who are dizzy and can't see straight to walk to the locker room is bad medical care.

It’s wild that this is the conversation on a national talk show in 2023 the day after a player looks like they may have been knocked out of a playoff game due to a concussion.

Carter Center staff took part in Run with Maud 5K this weekend to celebrate the life of Ahmaud Arbery and raise funds for the Ahmaud Arbery Foundation which supports mental health resources for Black boys. In 2020, Arbery was murdered while running. He would have turned 29 today.
