Thankful I’ve been able to find a happy medium between working with sports and not doing the SID thing full-time, particularly in this portal/NIL chaos era. I just like that I can appreciate the simple pleasures of the job, like catching a Yahtzee on the Notre Dame baseball scoreboard last night.

I regularly take a moment to savor that “calm before the storm” window before gates open.
One of the best parts of working in sports — and I never take this for granted — is having access to sit in a quiet stadium and watch it slowly fill up.

Every sports media person, unless they are an entitled asshole, shares this appreciation.

Good read on a very complicated situation that is probably only going to stay ugly until the final decision has been reached. And perhaps even then…
✍️ Sunday Read: Is the the Big Ten and SEC’s forced transformation of the College Football Playoff inevitable?

Pushback from other conferences — and concerns of potential legal or political action — have begun to swirl.

Can anyone stop the Big Ten-SEC CFP power grab? Don’t count out courts, politicians or ESPN
It’s been hard to find many fans cheering for an SEC/Big Ten takeover. But who can actually stop it?
