The Athletic released a story this morning on the Chandler Morris situation, including interviews with Chandler and his dad. Both say if granted an additional year in court, Chandler plans to stay at UVA where he’s currently enrolled in classes.

Dan Leibovitz on the best location for the A10 Men's Basketball Tournament: "Frankly, I don't have that answer, but I do philosophically, believe wholeheartedly that it's to our advantage to plant a flag somewhere, and grow roots and make it a tradition. "If you think about coming from the Big East, you don't have to ask where the Big East is. You don't have to ask where the big 12 is Kansas City, the SEC is in Nashville, the valley is in St Louis. So I want to find that for us and I, and that's no disrespect to Bernadette. She's made the championship a tremendous event in big NBA buildings, etc, but I want to make sure we pause and make and figure out if that's the best thing for us." (1/2)

My wife was formerly promiscuous. I was a virgin. She was then radically born-again. Committed to church, evangelized constantly, Puritan books in her bedroom, prayer journals, grief over past sexual sin, etc. We got to know each other well for over a year, dated for four months, engaged for two and a half, and didn't sin sexually with one another. Our first kiss with each other was at the altar on our wedding day (reaction pic attached!). We've been married for over five years now, and she's been the most wonderful and godly wife, mother to our three children, and homemaker you could imagine. She's more pure than most virgins, as biblical purity has less to with past sins (though they certainly matter) and more to do with one's current posture of the heart and daily decisions to honor the Lord (Matt. 5:8). We're far too quick to forget the story of the woman labeled as a known "sinner" (likely a prostitute) in Luke 7:36-50 who was washing Jesus' feet with her tears while kissing them too. The Pharisees were shocked that Jesus let a public sinner do this. Jesus responded with a parable about debts being forgiven and ended with this powerful conclusion: "Her many sins have been forgiven; that’s why she loved much. But the one who is forgiven little, loves little" (Luke 7:47). Everyone seems to highlight the benefits of virginity, and it certainly is a blessing. But we forget to highlight the benefits of being forgiven much as well. My wife knows the depths of Jesus' forgiveness more than most people, enabling her to more easily live out a life of passionate love for her Savior. A woman or man's past sexual sin matters. But what matters far more when it comes to deciding who to marry is if the person is truly born again, if their repentance is real, if they truly have a heart for Christ, if they truly follow Jesus and obey his commands. "God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong. God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world ​— ​what is viewed as nothing ​— ​to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, so that no one may boast in his presence. It is from him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom from God for us ​— ​our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, — in order that, as it is written: 'Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.'" (1 Cor. 1:27-31) "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come!" (2 Cor. 5:17)

Besides the obvious truth that Trump will spend eternity looking up at us burning like the scum he is. May his corpse never have a moment of rest on earth. May everyone piss on his grave like Karl Marx. May the streets flood in celebration when the traitor perishes.

A10 SHOULD ALWAYS BE A MULTI BID LEAGUE

If Republicans refuse to pass common sense Voter ID with the talking filibuster… Senate odds are going to flip violently.

Do you realize how absurd it is to charge $215,000 for just 75,000 impressions? These prices only make sense if the advertising is profitable for the buyers. And it is. The conferences and platforms selling these ads have almost no public audience, yet they regularly feature CEOs and generate engagement around specific policy issues. I've wondered why Politico Playbook hosts events packed with high-value advertisements when the videos attract barely a hundred views on YouTube and appear to have little visible attendance. Now we know why. Congress is being bought through those conferences. Most people already sensed this. What these media platforms show is the mechanism that connects the money to the politics. I don't need to study lobbying law to recognize that it’s not coincidence when a safe red Republican senator from South Dakota has a near one-to-one overlap between major donors and Punchbowl sponsors.
