Dartmouth President Sian Beilock: “Assuming that most Americans value our mission is a recipe for irrelevance and decline. We must demonstrate to students and families—and to the broader public—that we’ve heard their criticisms and will address them.” Five steps: 1. “Make college affordable” 2. “Return on investment matters…there must be an undeniable return.” 3. “Re-center higher education on learning rather than political posturing.” 4. “Emphasize equal opportunity, not equal outcomes.” 5. “Testing is important.”

BREAKING: Cubs are finalizing a deal to acquire SP Edward Cabrera from the Miami Marlins.

Sports media is failing fans. Two months ago, the NBA and MLB had players and coaches indicted by the federal government for placing bets on games. In previous eras, this would be a crisis. Now? Crickets. The last time the NBA faced a true gambling scandal with referee Tim Donaghy, the media hammered the NBA day after day. Sports media put regular pressure on the leagues for answers on how they would address concerns about the integrity of games. Too many sports media outlets are compromised today. Sports gambling funds too much of the industry for media outlets to put too much heat and pressure on the leagues for gambling scandals. Betting odds are on TV broadcasts. 79 percent of sports fans say that recent scandals have shaken their trust in the NBA. 90 percent are worried about corruption across sports. 75 percent believe corruption is more widespread than the NBA. If fans can't trust that games are clean and the media doesn't ask hard questions, what are we even watching? The urgency to cover sports gambling scandals doesn't exist in the same way that it used to. If this happened in 2008, it would've led SportsCenter and every sports publication for months. Now, it barely makes a ticker.
