NEW: College sports power brokers have been begging Congress for a federal takeover in the name of stability
The feds did something similar to horse racing several years ago. It has not, in fact, brought stability.

“I knew something was wrong with the water.”
A decade ago, we learned tap water in some Alabama cities contained unsafe levels of forever chemicals. When officials went looking for the source, they determined it didn’t come from within Alabama. @margkates al.com/news/2026/02/how-geor…

A mix of ‘Fire Hugh Freeze’ chants and fans beginning to leave Jordan-Hare Stadium with 3:52 left in the game.

Scott Morris recognizes what’s happening at Indiana. Because it happened to him at the University of North Alabama in 2018. “The situation in Indiana struck me hard and stirred up a lot of negative emotions,” he wrote in an email.
Some universities don't learn the lesson. A 2.5-minute blog post: tomarenberg.net/blog/2025/10…
