This may be interesting eventually… Clemens has included the BoT conversations about hiring Belichick violated open records, so those texts may be included in this request. www.dailytarheel.com/article/univ...

Breaking: Former provost requests recovery of trustees' alleged deleted texts through 'forensic imaging'

This comes after Clemens sued the University and all members of The UNC Board of Trustees in September.

stuff I am asking for:

* photography and/or video assets produced by UNC on behalf of the Hulu doc project
* emails from UNC fans about that Lombardi letter
* text messages from other ACC coaches to see if they've been talking shit about belichick

anything else while I'm FOIA MODE?

This will end up OK for UNC, though, because as bad as UNC boosters and NC politicians are at hiring football coaches, some of them have a lot of experience navigating messy, expensive divorces.

That is so much of this. No one (rightly) has tolerance for this shit when faculty, staff, students have had to deal with so much since January and this group is just stealing $$$ when so many have lost jobs here.

Members of Belichick’s coaching staff have already spoken to other schools that are expected to be in CFB Playoff about taking on roles during the postseason. From one coach: “the rats are leaving the ship”.

Some staffers believe a change will come within two weeks

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

Weber State administrators told student they couldn't present their research on the state's anti-DEI law at an on-campus conference on censorship(!) unless they removed all mentions of DEI from their slides
