Personally, I think the special treatment is playing 12 FBS games, losing 3 (two decisively) and still making the 12 team playoff.
For the better part of a half-century, Notre Dame has insisted on playing by its own rules. Now that the Irish aren’t getting the special treatment they believe is their due, they’re throwing a tantrum.
Notre Dame football whining like spoiled child over CFP snub
Notre Dame football keeps whining because it didn't get special treatment from the College Football Playoff that it thinks it deserves.

We might lose Notre Dame-USC soon for embarrassingly silly reasons. What better time to look back at train rides, Heisman winners, The Comeback, green jerseys, Joe Montana, 1 vs. 2 and, of course, the Bush Push?

After more than a century, this rivalry is in danger. It would be a shame because it has had some great games.

On the deep red Eastern Shore, this is a big deal.
Failing to draw their Republican Congressman Andy Harris, hundreds of people flocked to a middle school gym on Maryland’s Eastern Shore to hear from a willing Democratic stand-in — U.S. Rep Jamie Raskin. Raskin brought some sharp criticism of his fellow delegation member.

This is the whole ballgame for me: You cannot run a functioning democracy in a media environment where voters do not know basic facts about what candidates do and believe.

I reported on economics for one (1) year. Everything I learned about it—from data on corporate pay penalties for mothers, co-pays for births, and lack of federal policies on issues like childcare or paid leave—loudly indicated there was little to no incentive for me to have children in the US.

You'd think at some point that billionaires and corporate America would wake up to the fact that Trump is an even bigger risk to quarterly earnings than, like, clean water regulation, but they're all so safely ensconced in their wealth cocoons that this sounds fresh and exciting.
This should be the story tomorrow, and every day:
The leader of one of America’s two major political parties has just signaled to the Kremlin that if elected, he would not only refuse to defend Europe in World War III, but he would gladly support Vladimir Putin.

Renewable energy is getting more and more affordable and widespread, and these dullards are going to wipe out any gains with their machine that flips a million trillion coins to figure out how to say "you're fired"
Sam Altman’s vision for AI proliferation will require a lot more computation and the energy to power it.
He admitted it at Davos, but he said we shouldn’t worry: an energy breakthrough was coming, and in the meantime we could just use “geoengineering as a stopgap.” That should set off alarm bells.

The idea here is to ensure that every single right-wing loon on the federal bench has a nationwide veto over all regulation. If some venue-shopped hack in the Eastern District of Texas objects to water contamination regulation, then too bad America, it's cancelled nationwide.
Wednesday at SCOTUS: Big arguments over whether courts should defer to federal agencies’ interpretation of laws when the law is ambiguous and the interpretation is reasonable. It’s called Chevron deference, and it’s been around since 1984.
