A fascinating thing I learned while I was at Arizona is that more guys than girls dropped out after their full freshman year, but more girls dropped out after only their first semester

Greek life played a huge role in that and this type of shit will make it so much worse

Someone wrote in the WSJ a plea for the government to investigate the league over foul calls, and somehow that wasn't the most pathetic thing involving the WNBA this week

WestJet passengers at LAS is down over 20% so far this year compared to 2024. Canadian airlines are axing routes to Vegas and across the US due to low demand.

Also, losing your rent money as a leisure activity isn't fun when you can't afford rent.

Gives me the chance to post one of my favorite newspaper headlines of all time. I used to have the print copy of this pinned to the wall of my cubicle.

I feel like you have to win at the Kibbie Dome before winning any election for public office, let alone a Senate seat.

they don't watch the games, they don't care, they don't know shit, they go to some four year christian college where they get gassed up on fashy copy-and-paste originalism before clerking for the worst Senators on the planet before somehow getting an op-ed into the paper

Opinion | The WNBA and Caitlin Clark’s Civil Rights If the league won’t act to protect its superstar from a hostile environment, the government should do so.

Conservatives are calling the feds over women's basketball and yet the liberals get the "cancel culture" label because some randos on TikTok talked about jeans

My team (Arizona) is a torturous experience so I'll save you that burden.

You want some noon kickoffs and a team that's good so the wins feel great but not TOO good because then some wins feel less special and the losses feel awful. My nominees:

Iowa State
NC State
South Carolina
Wisconsin

'Am I dreaming?': Soccer coach who says he was deported over his tattoo celebrates his release from CECOT Soccer coach Jerce Reyes Barrios, who was deported to El Salvador's CECOT prison based, he says, largely on his soccer tattoo, tells ABC News he's grateful to be free.

The government sent an innocent goalkeeper, who lawfully entered the the country, to a foreign gulag where he was tortured.

We're supposed to be welcoming the entire football world in 2026 but having a Real Madrid tattoo is enough to get you disappeared.

I tried beach handball one summer and not only was it a great workout, it was tons of fun and pretty easy to set up. Highly recommend as a beach activity.

Gonna start referring it as "The AC" so when I yell "crank up the AC!" nobody will know if I'm talking about my air conditioning or a Temple noon kickoff

New Zealand aims to double foreign international education market by 2034 New Zealand’s government on Monday released a plan aimed at doubling its international education market to NZ$7.2 billion ($4.32 billion) by 2034, which includes relaxing rules around international students working part-time while studying.

Brilliant stuff from the Kiwis and I can tell ya, at least from an undergrad perspective, academics are way more rigorous than at US schools

Counter point: Humans don't need to argue and some of us just want to laugh at silly sports things without getting called slurs

Women's inclusion in sports video games is so great. Watching the Finnish player from my FIFA manager mode score the opening goal in the Euro like a proud gaffer
