I think the real reason the Big Ten is looking into private equity is because the people who run athletic departments are fucking terrible at managing budgets

"Every time the A’s unveil a new part of their plan, it’s deeply humiliating. ... The A’s move is developing into one of the biggest unforced errors in American pro sports history, a simultaneous baseball tragedy and financial catastrophe that Fisher brought upon himself."
I did a truly terrible job of moving this week. I lost things, I failed at spackling, I accidentally disconnected my power, and I barely slept

But I can take consolation in knowing there is at least one person who is worse at moving than me.

The one man worse at moving than me
I did a truly terrible job of moving... But at least I know I'm better at moving than John Fisher. PLUS! How athletes and coaches move, and whether my new home state will keep its only team

Why would Fisher leave nearly a billion dollars for a park on a 55-acre plot, in a top-10 television market in love with its ballclub, for nine acres and a minuscule market with fans who don’t know their A’s from their elbow?

What a day.
Hannah graduated from UNR this afternoon with a B.S. in Environmental Science, a minor in Renewable Energy and a certificate in GIS.
Meanwhile in Las Vegas, Maya placed 8th in the state track meet in shot put. She got home time for Hannah’s celebratory dinner. So proud of these humans.

Finished it this week. Highly recommend to any hoops fans, sneaker heads or observers of the NIL era of college sports.
Jordan, Kobe, rise of Nike, AAU hoops, the O'Bannon case ... Vaccaro had a front row seat to it all, and in some cases, was a driver.
Fascinating story.
