And then there's Nebraska, pretending it has NIL money and ending up with a class in the 50s
Vanderbilt is getting the No. 1 QB recruit in the country.

The No. 1 overall recruit is going to Houston.

The top 10 recruits are going to 9 different schools, including Maryland.

NIL/portal have become the great equalizer:

I want you to know that this is a very logical, reason, and sensible take, and also that Penn State would rather set itself on fire than hire Pat Narduzzi
Narduzzi is being tragically overlooked in this coaching search, he’s coming off another eight win season and knows the recruiting landscape very well.

SOURCES: North Texas is expected to hire former West Virginia head coach Neal Brown as its head coach, @theathletic.com has learned.

Brown spent this season on the Texas staff and also had a really good run as Troy head coach. He was a top focus of the search from the beginning.

Did they just get Houston'd????
SOURCES: BYU coach Kalani Sitake is expected to remain with the Cougars after receiving strong interest from Penn State, @theathletic.com has learned.

BYU is expected to commit more resources to Sitake and the FB program, which plays for the Big 12 title/CFP on Saturday (ESPN 1st)

The military finding out their culture of war films has created a culture of wannabe Rambos is fun
Hegseth's tough-guy act is diminishing our military and our society - and it's using the military as a venue for performing culture war in partisan politics. None of this is good.

Duh
Officials in Congress and the Pentagon are increasingly concerned that the Trump administration intends to scapegoat the military officer who directed U.S. forces to kill two survivors of a targeted strike on suspected drug smugglers in Latin America.
Hegseth, with White House help, tries to distance himself from boat strike fallout
As Congress vows accountability, the Trump administration emphasized it was a top military commander — not the defense secretary — who directed the engagement.

Yeah, one of the many nightmare scenarios facing us is that a badly led and mostly destroyed intelligence infrastructure fails to prevent a major terrorist attack and that attack is then used as justification to speed up the fascism.
I do in fact stay awake at night sometimes thinking about how the MAGA ghouls are destroying actually-essential counterterrorism efforts in favor of directing resources towards brutalizing elderly taco truck workers
NEW: Oregon could lose nearly $18 million worth of terrorism prevention and emergency funding.

In the past, the money has paid for bomb detectors, law enforcement training and barriers that prevent cars from plowing into crowds.

All it took was asking actual Feds instead of listening to the administration with a penchant for lying.

Lol. Told you.
NYT:
Five officials told us that Hegseth had nothing to do with the second strike

Washpost (which broke the story 2 days ago):
“This is ‘protect Pete’ bullshit,”

“It’s throwing us, the service members, under the bus.”

One of the reasons servicemembers, from admirals and generals to the greenest private, should know “don’t follow illegal orders” is that this administration is a goulash of dishonorable character flaws like cowardice and dishonesty. There is no bus under which these pissants will not throw you.
