@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.

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.

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?

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

@ROCKCHALK2025 the guy from Utah state wanted to finish out this season before heading to manhattan. KSU said no dice and moved down the list.

That guy dodged a bullet, big time.

@RockChalkinTexas-0 Are sago palms and sago cacti the same thing? We had to give our 3 near our patio away to our neighbors because apparently the "fruits" they produce are poisonous to dogs. They have grown nice and lush ever since, but, to be honest, we found the dog to be more fun...

KU up from 11 to 8 in The Athletic rankings.

@RockChalkinTexas-0 I noticed that, too. Cool!

As for another former Jayhawk, Christian Braun's $150 mil contract extension--then him losing a number of games to injury, along with his less-than-productive return, and then the Nuggets' meek surrender in the playoffs--is causing some second guessing. Hopefully, a major strengthening in additional rehab in the offseason can get him going.

I just wish effin' Self could recruit. This team build is hopelessly bad. I give up on KU basketball.

Just to paraphrase comments I have read here.....

Tang going to Baylor as assistant coach.

@JAYHAWKFAN214 Oh great, he could base his decision on taking the longshot.

Here is a list of players either signed by the Chiefs as UFAs or invited to their rookie camp:

@kjayhawks2.0 JD was one of several undrafted players to sign 3 year contracts that actually provide more guaranteed money than many drafted players (6th/7th rds) will get. $272,500 for 3. Not much compared to getting a nice draft slot, but NIL doesn't last forever. If they make a team and stay active, players get at least the league min of a lot more (> $800,000 per year, I believe).

Signed WR Jeff Caldwell from Cincinnati as UFA. He was the 145th ranked player overall on ESPN. Big guy, 6'5" and 216 lbs. Writeup predraft:

Caldwell tested off the charts at the combine, including a 4.31-second 40-yard dash. He spent just one season at the FBS level after transferring from Lindenwood, so he's still inexperienced against good competition. Caldwell presents a large target for the quarterback and flashes the ability to make difficult catches, but he was credited with three drops this past season. He has good feet and surprising quickness for a player with his length. Caldwell's combination of size and speed creates matchup problems for defensive backs that can lead to big plays or penalties. He is still a raw route runner who will need to continue developing his technique and expanding his route tree. -- Scouts Inc.

Edit: Seems like a possible project for TE if he adds 20-25 lbs of muscle?

Daniels signed as undrafted free agent by Tampa Bay.
