@Jayhawk_69 There is no bill, only the executive orders. As is his custom, President Trump is attempting to create another wide swath of executive authority by fiat rather than by making a legislative proposal to Congress. He cannot revise antitrust law by executive order, nor can he demand concessions by funding cutoffs not related to the authorizations creating those funds. He can try, but courts are curtailing his reach in doing so right and left. As with the law firms who capitulated, some schools will try to voluntarily impose these limits on their students but there is no hope that courts will not continue to find liability. An EA is no defense. More likely, schools will realize they face legal substantial liability if they comply and will sue to enjoin enforcement by DOJ. Bottom line, the president cannot compel people to break numerous laws.

Lots of speculating going on, with people thinking they can read minds. Let's all get mad and assume bad faith by a player who may well be in the midst of being far more frustrated than all of our fan-doctors.

@ROCKCHALK2025 As a judge for 19 years, I found the legal principal of requiring evidence to draw conclusions applies pretty well to analyzing everything in life. In other words, speculation alone isn't probative. But speculation can generate theories about things, but theories without evidence are pretty hollow, so best usually to wait for actual facts.

@approxinfinity HEM always wanted to get rid of Self b/c he only won 1 title and didn't keep gettng into the F4. Then HEM disappeared (during Covid I think), and Bill won a second title a couple of years later. The "What have you done for me lately?" impatience is ridiculous considering all the drastic challenges facing coaches.

@rockchalkjayhawk I would root against Duke if Ted Bundy was the opposing coach

Ted's team would just eat 'em alive.

Good rule of thumb: until a visit gets locked in take all interests with a grain of salt. Sorry for the mixed metaphor

I think a metaphor combining a grain of salt with your thumb is perfectly reasonable as a variation on drinking tequila shots and licking salt on your hand.

Ran 5 miles saturday on the treadmill.

Just saw this. 5 miles on a treadmill...and you find some KU games boring?

@crimsonblu22 Londoners are in the minority, thanks to their open immigration policy. (Sound familiar?)

Pretty sure London is inhabited entirely by Londoners.

@approxinfinity A special place in the darker recesses of my soul for the Slavers.

LB Leo Chenal to Washington. 3 yrs, $24.75 mil. This one bothers me.

Maxx Crosby trade has been nixed by the Ravens after his physical. Likely more to it.

@RockChalkinTexas-0 Actually, I'm still rooting for Cape Verde. I will be sending a note to Trump suggesting he get FIFA to make CV a wild card advancer.

@RockChalkinTexas-0 Turns out Trump privately asked FIFA to review the suspension. Makin' 'merica proud before the world!

@rockchalkjayhawk Yeah, wouldn't it be fun to watch basketball or (our) football if a player was considered out of bounds when any part of his body was outside the line? None of those fun shots falling out of bounds...no reaching back to hit the pylon while helicoptering outside the goal line... Anything requiring super slo mo to detect should be eliminated. Just like the PGA eliminated penalties where the only person to see an infraction was a so-called fan calling in to think he would become an important part of the game.

@rockchalkjayhawk Buck up! Not the kiss of death, and being undefeated isn't so great. No one has gone undefeated in group play and gone on to win the World Cup since Brazil in 2002.

@JAYHAWKFAN214 Yep, it counts!

"Lawrence Super Regional" has a nice ring to it, don'tcha think?

@nuleafjhawk If that's what it makes you, what does the fact that I never slid even on grass in my life (some 35 years of softball) make me? I had this odd desire to not screw up my legs....

@bskeet Gandalf, is that you???!!!

From a Mike Lorio comment about the Cavaliers over on PFT on NBCSports.com:

**As it turns out, the Browns aren’t the Cleveland-based sports team having the most warped obsession with analytics.

Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson, whose team trails the Knicks 3-0 in the NBA’s Eastern Conference Finals, came up with an all-time glass-half-full justification for the Cavs’ struggles.

Via Matt Clapp of Awful Announcing, Atkinson claimed — with a straight face — that Cleveland is essentially winning.

“Analytically . . . we’re two out of three in the expected [score]. . . . We’ve won two out of the three,” Atkinson said.

The remark immediately flopped worse than SGA.

“I know you’re looking confused,” Atkinson said. “But if you believe in process and all that. . . . take that layer. . . .

“I think last night, it was, the expected score was like one point or two. Us shooting way below expected, them shooting way over. I know no one wants to hear that. I think you guys like hearing it. The general public . . . everyone’s outcome-based. Sure. I get that too.”

Yes, the general public is outcome-based. Because winning and losing is based on the outcome.**

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in 2026 KU Season:

Not thrilled to see Arkansas in KU's region given how KU has done against them in the postseason in various sports in recent years.

I keep thinking, "Okay, this time we'll show 'em!" And then, well, not so much....
