This exciting resolution from Rutgers University Senate is exactly the kind of model I think higher ed needs: a mutual defense pact of, in this case, Big 10 schools. They call for member institutions to create a joint defense fund and make resources available to any member institution under attack.

Opening day at Eclipse Park in 1913. Located at 7th & Kentucky Streets, it was the third #Louisville baseball field to be called Eclipse Park (the previous two having burned) and was used by the Colonels from 1902-22, when it too burned after the Male vs DuPont Manual Thanksgiving football game.

They should go through the list of guys who need one more NFL game appearance to qualify for health insurance or a pension, and let them suit up for the Browns today. Just like rotate all of them in for one series and get them onto the books.

Riding a horse through the mess hall? That is some Gilligan behavior.
Long time character actor Jim Backus (1913-89), perhaps best known as "Thurston Howell III" from the 60s sitcom "Gilligan's Island", was a cadet at the Kentucky Military Institute in #Louisville in the 1920s. He was expelled from KMI for riding a horse through the mess hall.
