A lot of NCAA athletic departments and directors have shown their hand in this two semester voting process.
If they wanted what’s best for the players and the sport, they’d find a way. Many clearly can’t be bothered.
Recruits and coaches should definitely be taking notice.

Proud of our @MUFCAcademyMI selections! Well-earned, Gloria and London!! 👏👏👏

Leveled up.
More experience, more excellence. Not only the best staff in West Michigan but standing toe-to-toe with the best in the country.
Proud to lead this group into 2026/2027.

Our 2010 & 2011 GA teams have been invited to participate in the @GAcademyLeague Champions Cup Finals! We are excited to represent West Michigan on the national stage!

Proud of how this team has evolved since I first saw them in the spring. Their endless positivity (and TikTok dances 😂) carries them thru the most difficult moments and makes them vastly greater than just the sum of their parts.
The statements been made but the jobs not done. See you at playoffs in June 💪
The 2010 Girls Academy team beat Galaxy and CIU this weekend to claim the @GAcademyLeague U16 Midwest East Division title! 🏆

A look at the weekend as we welcome back our high school Boys Academy 2️⃣ teams!
“I used AI to do my job” undermines the value of everyone in your industry.
Wish more people understood that.
Seattle Reign head coach Laura Harvey says she has leaned on artificial intelligence (AI) service ChatGPT to help inspire her tactics in the NWSL this season.
“One day in the offseason, I was writing things into ChatGPT like, ‘What is Seattle Reign’s identity?’ And it would spurt it out. And I was like ‘I don’t know if that’s true or not,'” Harvey told the Soccerish Podcast.
“And then I put in, ‘What formation should you play to beat NWSL teams?’ And it spurted out every team in the league and what formation you should play. And for two teams, it went ‘You should play a back five.’ So I did. No joke, that’s why I did it.”

I’m “at work” most evenings and weekends. I travel 25+ weekends a year. I literally live part-time in another state. I chase my passion and am blessed to turn it into a 20-year (and counting) career...
…all because she’s allowed it. Coaches spouses are different, man. Happy anniversary to my lifelong partner in crime. Grateful for you everyday.
