Today marks a major step forward. Three California Baptist University student-athletes have filed a federal Title IX lawsuit, represented by @PacificLegal , challenging the elimination of CBU’s men’s wrestling, swimming and diving, and golf programs. The lawsuit argues these cuts were made to meet proportionality targets, forcing athletes to transfer or give up their sport in a state where Division I wrestling opportunities are already scarce. “For too long, Title IX has been used as the reason universities drop programs,” said Nolan Kistler “Instead of expanding opportunities, schools have too often used it as a shield to cut them.” This fight is bigger than CBU. If left unchallenged, these cuts will continue. #KeepCBUWrestling pacificlegal.org/case/wrestlers…

THE OFFICIAL BOUT LIST FOR #UFCWhiteHouse [ LIVE Sunday June 14 on @ParamountPlus ]

I wouldn’t be the man I am today without this guy in my corner! Proud to call you coach and a mentor. One of the best! Wish you the best!

A video reportedly taken undercover by a Cal Baptist wrestler — and later leaked — appears to show Deputy Athletic Director Joey Logan informing the team that they would not be permitted to wear “Keep CBU Wrestling” singlets or any alternate singlet as a form of protest in their final dual meet. The directive comes after the university’s abrupt decision to eliminate its Division I wrestling program. The moment draws comparisons to Stanford’s Shane Griffith, who wore an inside-out black singlet during the 2021 NCAA Championships in protest after Stanford announced it would cut wrestling. Griffith went on to win the national title, and the program was later reinstated. With Cal Baptist’s season coming to a close, the wrestling world continues to follow the situation closely. @Keepcbuwrestle #KeepCBUwrestling

After much reflection, following our bowl game in Vegas, I intend to enter the transfer portal. I would like to thank Coach Rhule, Coach Ekeler, Coach Maher, Coach Foley, and the rest of NU staff. I have nothing but gratitude for the last 3 years. End of a chapter, not my book

One of my favorite quotes is the one from Marcus Aurelius: ‘The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.’ I think it’s always good to remember it.

I promised that I would leave it all in the cage and I did. You’re welcome 💋 Grateful for you all #UFC323

Culture. You can’t fake it. You can’t buy it. You can’t hope for it. You must develop it. And to keep it you must nourish it with the people you have surrounding it and feeding into it. One man can’t make a team, but one man can break one. No one piece is more important than another, but the right leader can bring together what’s divided and keep together what’s challenged. We are our best selves when we are given the space to be ourself. A culture built on trust between an athlete and coach creates a connection that can open opportunities of growth like nothing else. That trust is something built from sharing life together. It’s the individuals, the after practice chats, the team meals, and it’s showing up for the life that goes on outside the practice room and competition floor. It is developing relationships that aren’t transactional, that ask nothing in return, but upholding a standard that so many worked so hard to set before you. When we build a culture that makes one feel supported versus isolated in those moments of defeat we can compete free from the fear of making a mistake. That in itself is half the battle we have in our mind- not living up to our own expectations or better yet those someone has for us. These guys love one another. It’s shown in how they hold one another accountable, how they challenge one another, and how they encourage one another. Worthy adversaries. On their worst days they pick each other up, on their best days they celebrate, but it’s in all the other days they continue to shape one another and define a culture. 📷 : a sweet friend took this from above and sent to me- thx Abby

So What? When I started doing the social media and photos for UNI one of the things that was most interesting to me was hearing how coaches speak to their athletes, what they yell during big matches, how they follow them out after losses, and how they hype them up beforehand. 10 years in and I could hear my husband from the stands, but sometimes with all the cheering you didn’t really hear what was said or with arms filled with babies I didn’t hear much at all. This past weekend as I was matside during one of our guys’ matches, our guy got taken down and I heard Doug say “So what”. In that moment I realized just how much he uses that phrase. Guy takes you down- so what? You gave up back points- So what? Call didn’t go your way- So what? Call gets reversed- so what? Crowd goes crazy when you’re scored one- so freaking what? It is that quick reminder of : if there is still time on the clock, there is still an opportunity to score points and win. It’s a phrase to say don’t let this one score, this one mistake, this one move take you out of the match mentally- go get the next one. If you’ve seen For love of the Game- it’s almost like “clearing the mechanism”. You’re going to get scored on, things are not going to go your way, more than likely you’re going to fail more times than you succeed- so what? In the moment our mind must be able to focus on getting up, scoring the next match, controlling our breathing and remaining in the match. What is going to be that snap, that flip of a switch, that phrase that reminds you to move on or your athlete and get the next one?

@campbell_49 we see you working! Good start to the season. ravenathletics.com/sports/mwrest/…
