Contributor: What happens when Washington runs amok? Ask a Native American When forces unite with no care for the Constitution, the rule of law or anything you learned in civics class, you can end up with the entrenched overreach of the Plenary Power Doctrine.

If you like knowledge and life-saving medical research, if you like the vistas that higher education opens for young people, if you like campus life in all its messy glory... and also college sports, THEN this is the moment we have to talk about the true madness of what's happening in DC presently.

Let's use #MarchMadness to reflect on why our society needs robust colleges and universities.

We won't have colleges and universities if the Musk/Trump Admin eliminates grants for essential research, destroys the financial aid system, and censors free thought and expression on campuses.

You've got 64 teams, the vast majority of which are public, community-serving, primarily non-elite students. Every single one of them is at risk.

If you love college sports, you've got to defend our colleges and universities!

Some of these schools may not exist to play in next year's tourney.
