Changing topics…Georgia is suing DE Damon Wilson, who transferred after 2024 season, for $390k in NIL funds.

I suspect this gets settled, but Georgia will need to prove that the $390k buyout actually had some relationship to damages and wasn’t just a penalty to deter transfers.

I am not deleting my skeet from last year that claimed Mark Pope is going to become recognized as one of the top coaches in college basketball soon, but everyone can assume that I consider that to be in the Tree of Doubt right now

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake?

TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded

BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

Gonna need to throw some kind of warning before airing UK games like they used to do before Jackass, this is just scandalous

This is an excellent piece about the issues with Kentucky’s roster construction that make any lineup discussions or individual player nitpicking largely irrelevant. Great stuff constantly at Basket Under Review.

Everyone should learn about Fred Hampton, his work, and the lengthy legal fight after his death to establish the FBI and police involvement in assassinating him.
"If you ever think about me, and if you ain’t gonna do no revolutionary act, forget about me. I don’t want myself on your mind, if you’re not gonna work for the people."

On this day in 1969, Fred Hampton was shot to death by Chicago, Cook County and federal police as he slept in his apartment.

This is a great op-ed and great insights from @elizabethrb.bsky.social.
"Perhaps the deadly strikes on boats in the Caribbean will be the wake-up call that policymakers need to put real checks on executive killing power, and to finally dismantle the remnants of the War on Terror once and for all."

The War on Terror Set the Stage for Deadly Caribbean Boat Strikes
The recent deadly strikes on alleged drug-running boats in the Caribbean happened thanks to the war on terror's legacy.

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

Whew, just rewatched UK-UNC 2nd half. 3 takeaways:

1. UK generated many good looks and FTs during the 10 min without a FGM

2. The DReb was awful much of the game but much better in the final 10 min

3. 1 UK player (unnamed here) was a disaster. Prob cost UK 7-10 pts by themselves.

Companies are being built because of time-consuming services, and the wages paid to those adults won’t sustain a household. The refusal of any legislature to require wages to keep up with consumer inflation is oppressive.
In Massachusetts, 74% of working-age recipients of food stamps are employed, half of them full-time. Nearly 2,500 work for Amazon and another 2,300 work for Walmart. Uber, DoorDash and Tempus Unlimited each have more than 1,400 workers who rely on SNAP www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/28/m...

Great stuff here. The content at Basket Under Review is excellent.
New for Basket Under Review. Last week in Vegas, a 12-round bout of pure physicality and brute force took place...in a basketball arena. Houston, Tennessee, and a heavyweight fight I'll remember for a long time. ($) www.basketunderreview.com/houston-vs-t...

Have not watched this one live, but Kentucky losing 41-0 to Louisville is pretty incredible. Had that going the other way. Bad enough to restart the dialogue re: Mark Stoops?

ANYWHO. Let's get back to granting wishes. For the final day of this big push, I want to do something a little different. There are four kids who want sewing machines. Considering all that sewing has brought to my life, I really want to help these kids. It's a total of $893.
🧵 We are, in fact, doing the thing again for @onesimplewish.bsky.social. In 2024, the kind people of this community put the money cannon on blast to help grant $75K in wishes for children in foster care. Toys, tech, a suit for job interviews. Here we go again! 👇
