@Meliazzzz @JustinWStapley Cuz it that is what makes us the united states. Ca has way more votes. Having representation and a voice in each state is what created the union

@JustinWStapley So now, WY has greater weight than CA. How does that make sense? 588,000 vs 39 million

Under the Electoral College, the President is elected by the states and it is the states who choose to run popular elections to select electors. This is actually an integral part of the longevity of the union, because the great compromise ensures that small states are not subsumed by a national policy driven be the population advantage of large states. Remove this framework and why would a state like Wyoming stick around and be dictated to by a government that only represents the coastal enclaves?

PETE BUTTIGIEG: "What if we selected our President by letting the person who got the most votes take the office, instead of the Electoral College?"

All this looks terrible. No mid majors. No traveling time for fans all just for almighty tv dollars. @NCAA keeps messing up good things.

For those wondering what a new “First 12” might look like in a 76-team field:

The Bakes Brothers become the first pair of twins to each hit a grand slam in the same game (probably). 🤷♂️

@MattNorlander Thank you still for your work on this! Still a great reflection. Never forget.

I stopped by Illinois State for the first time today and took a moment.
Yesterday was the 11th anniversary of the plane crash that took the lives of seven connected to ISU, including assistant Torrey Ward, after leaving the NCAA title game. Their memory still hovers over campus.

Today, we honor the seven men who lost their lives on April 7, 2015, through seven random acts of kindness.
The Redbird 7 will always be in our hearts ❤️

@VeryBrexitProbs Beat the English twice and bailed the world out in ww2. How's the English record looking?

The greatest military in history has:
Fought Korea to a draw.
Lost to Vietnamese farmers.
Spent 20 years in Afghanistan before being expelled by men in sandals. Created ISIS in Iraq.
And is currently stuck in week five of Iran with a closed strait and no exit strategy.
Greatest ever. No question.

The truth is - The United States of America is the greatest military in the history of the world.

My dad and I have bonded over many basketball games in our lives but watching @Redbird_MBB in the NIT semifinals at @HinkleFH was special.

Illinois State is believed to be the first school ever to qualify for the Semifinals in a D1 postseason tournament in Football, MBB, and WBB in the same academic year. They lost an overtime heartbreaker in the FCS Final, and are headed to the NIT Semifinal and WNIT Fab Four.

Best argument for Auburn: if they had played three cupcakes instead of Michigan, Arizona, and Houston, they’d be 20-13 and a stone cold lock. Do we want good noncon games or not?

@TrustTrost Come to small school Illinois. None of what you say is happening. This is a lazy take not lazy football coaches
English
High school coaches: Paid more than ever. Collecting camp money. Adding a percentage of that pay to their pension - in Illinois. More technology than ever to do their jobs and in most cases, a bigger budget to do things than decades of past.
The result: More lazy high school coaches than ever.
It’s something I hear consistently from their peers, parents, school leaders and I’ve seen it first hand. They play games with postseason seeding, literally screwing innocent kids.
Years ago, high school coaches were volunteers, community leaders - yes leaders off the field - and then smaller stipends started to appear.
High school coaches will nail club coaches or trainers saying it’s a business. I don’t see high school coaches doing it for free. In fact, I see high school coaches looking at ways to do things in the offseason.
You can’t have it both ways.
I also see high school coaches gaming the system as they near retirement, coaching lower levels of some sports they have no business coaching just to collect a check and pad that pension.
You can’t have it both ways.
I’ve been in and around high schools now nearing my fifth different decade, covering and working with school leaders locally in Illinois and nationally.
Just as I say with parents, there are great coaches and there are bad ones. And trust me, you know the great coaches right away. You do - everyone knows this.
But in the end, the adults in and around youth and high school sports are the problem. It’s not the kids.
High schools need to figure out how to enhance or clean house. I’d rather have an adult who actually cares and knows nothing about the sport than one literally using kids to pad their personal gain.

@Scholl09 Police, healthcare, education - All funded by our taxes.
That IS socialism

@tmlemaster Maybe divert money you wanted from other sports back to them(football). This basketball team has been disappointing last 3 games. On to Bradley.

Illinois state men’s basketball drops its third valley contest in a row, losing to previously 1-5 Indiana State. Redbird faithful, share your thoughts.
