An important read for journalism teachers, and all news consumers.
1/ Here’s a story about how journalism works.
Spoiler Alert: This is how we decide *not* to publish.
We were recently looking at Pete Hegseth’s different statements over the years about West Point, where he has said he was admitted.
First stop: West Point.

It's all based on the CFP whim, but these 10 teams can basically lock up a College Football Playoff spot with a W this weekend
1 Oregon, 2 Ohio St, 3 Texas, 4 Penn St, 5 Notre Dame, 6 Miami, 7 Georgia, 8 Tenn, 9 SMU, 10 IU
Big 12 champ, MW/AAC champ

Big 12 Tie-Breakers. If everyone else wins ...
If ASU loses to Arizona: BYU vs Iowa St
If Colorado loses to Ok State: BYU vs Iowa St
If Iowa State loses to K-State: ASU vs BYU
(deep breath)
If BYU loses to Houston ... (it's too messy, assume ASU vs Iowa St for now)
If EVERYONE wins, ASU vs Iowa St

Quite a week. What we thought was mono for son turned out to be T1 #diabetes. Crazy ride, mini crisis, and now some initial stability, a lot of learning, and a grateful heart for the nurses and team at UMass Memorial in Worcester. Taking turkey week to adjust away from campus. Family time!

Started the day at 6a on the wall, setting a new route with a kid in our climbing club…. Needed a win with this kid, and man, I’m still smiling about it hours later. Didn’t expect it, wasn’t planning it. Just the best - climb on, y’all.

If you had told me in August that one of the most fascinating and important B1G games of the season would be IU-OSU at the ‘Shoe, I would’ve laughed - but secretly hoped. So many seasons of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory…. Can’t WAIT for Saturday! #WINdiana #Hoosiers #CFP #gameday
