Imagine if instead of funding forever wars in the Middle East, the United States delivered universal child care and health care for all Americans.

Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

@ChucktownHoops @SEisbergWCIV Nah- it’s twitter grammar doesn’t matter.
English
You gotta go back to grammar school man.
It’s a false equivalency. He’s not saying you can’t leave for better opportunities, he’s saying if money is yours sole driver and motivator than he doesn’t what you in the program, simple as that. Nobody’s sole driver and motivator in college athletics should be strictly money, and money only.
English
What a quote from CofC AD Matt Roberts.
In part...
"If they sit in that room and hear that speech from those 2 coaches and that's not good enough for them, get out of here. Get out of here, go somewhere else. If money is your motivator, you are not wanted at CofC. That is a direct message to those student athletes"

@ChucktownHoops @SEisbergWCIV Never said he did have 4 jobs in 4 years. If U want 2 play the name calling game UR inability to comprehend concepts that take more than 1 brain cell is pathetic. Did I do the insult thing correctly? Reality is he left 4 better options-Yet he wants to bitch 4 SA doing the same.
English
@FredJohnsonf2 @SEisbergWCIV Probably the dumbest response I’ve seen to this.
He’s had 3 jobs in 30 years which is how the real world typically works, not 4 jobs in 4 years. Also all of those are title upgrades. Going from TCU to Belmont to Tennessee isn’t upgrading it’s going up down and sideways.
English
@SEisbergWCIV How many jobs did he leave before becoming the AD there?
English
@RoushKSR Everybody’s playing chess while Kentucky is playing checkers. Only you delusional people believe coaches are waiting until the transfer portal to open to contact players. 😭😭😭😭😭

“Black People learn how America works at a very young age. The rules are just different for us. Of course it’s not fair & not how it should be, but it’s just the way it is. White privilege exists in every aspect of society, including college basketball.”

@Krtzyy @DukeAlexanderr Please educate me- how did he denounce your existence?
English
being a queer sports fan is crazy because randomly your favorite players will pop out of nowhere to denounce your existence
I almost bought bros jersey but luckily I went with Gonzalez instead 🙏

NEW: Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson has come out in support of Jaden Ivey’s comments regarding NBA “pride nights.”
English
Kentucky had 7 national championships and 14 final fours before cal and they'll get both after. Y'all can keep tweeting this shit every day but it'll never be true sorry
Deuce@DeuceThomas
Cal was the program. Kentucky folks thought they could still get 5 stars without him.

@queenie4rmnola @KyrieIrving Amazing that you became a doctor. I guess you are so much better than other folks who look like you that you can succeed, but that can’t. Simply amazing.
English
10-12 generations of race-based slavery in America is not something to "get over." It's a legacy to reckon with

@tawny_here @etanthomas36 We can see it “differently”. Or you can see it different? Not sure I follow the comment.

@TGTatum4_3 @TheDunkCentral @SInow No, she’s trying to draw attention. Was never an issue in the past for her.
English
@TheDunkCentral @SInow Finally someone who understands that defense matters

Rachel Nichols says she’s NOT voting for Luka Dončić for MVP because you have to play both sides of the ball for eight months

@JDSHELBURNE What’s the # you willing to pay? 4? 6? 9? At some point, he’s not worth it. He’s played at 3 schools for a reason. He’s a Nike kid who is likely to go to an adidas school. When’s that happened at this level before?
English
Kentucky must land Stokes. Program changer. Kid has it all. Pay the kid.

@NILnotNLI Data says differently- GMU had an increase of 22% of apps +50% increase of out of state. The amount of data and impact of Nick at alabama.
English
Certain folks love calling NCAA athletics a 'marketing arm' for a university to justify employee status.
Generally speaking, college athletics is a marketing arm for... Wait for it...
College. Athletics.
(and no, increased applications doesn't help a school like many claim)
Mit Winter@WinterSportsLaw
The issues being discussed in college athletics arise from a big picture question. Are athletic teams marketing vehicles for universities or are they extracurricular activities? For FBS 🏈 & DI🏀 , the answer is the former. And by playing the athletes are performing a service.
English
@MattSakR2NG @BRamseyKSR But Matt - BBN tells me all the time that kids want to come to Lex to be backups.
English
@BRamseyKSR If a player “checks all the boxes” they likely aren’t leaving their current situation, and if they do, it’s to go pro
Gotta earn your money in talent evaluation see which guys will make the jump

Something to keep in mind when "evaluating" transfers...
Of the Top 25 transfers last season only FOUR were high-major All-Conference performers. Four more were Player of the Year at a mid-major. 12 had NO "accolades."
The point being...the best options aren't always OBVIOUS.
English
@BigBlueNationD1 @AllUKBall_HPS This is the rub- IMO many BBN fans want/believe players like this are transferring to be backups. I think that’s why kids like Mo were pretty disgruntled - I can’t imagine these kids think of themselves as BUs.
English
So BBN we tryin’ to do the return of the freakishly athletic, defensive monster Center thing again…. Or Nah???

@NILnotNLI @NFLAgents_net This is the modest of the AD at Kentucky. His dumb@SS built an entire marketing campaign with corporate sponsors and a recruiting pitch that clearly doesn’t work. … play for the name on the front……
English
Former University of Texas AD Steve Patterson once argued that individual athletes don’t create the value in college sports. The university brand does.
He essentially claimed fans pay for the front of the jersey, not the player.
He was fired after less than 2-years on the job

@TJWalkerRadio @RowlandRIVALS I’m pretty sure the “beloved”
Part goes away with another double digit loss + early tourney exit.
English
@RowlandRIVALS I also don't expect a new AD to come in and fire the beloved alumni/coach a few months into the job. AD will probably feel Pope is getting a free year even if he doesn't deserve it.
English
Pope has to have a great offseason. Whatever you think he has to do to make it to Year 4, the most important fact in the situation is a new athletics director is coming in. A new coach wants to pick his own quarterback. A new AD is not going to tolerate restless natives early.
