Former Badger, and grandson of Barry Alvarez, was clearly not shotgunning a beer.
Well shit. This is fantastic.
My eyes were wet from start to finish. I thought of being little in a big world & watching my son's first tries at this mad game. ESPN's Open to the NHL season is beautiful. I didn't expect to cry today-this is stunning. There's nothing like this sport. We at ESPN love the sport as you do. ❤️ Enjoy.

I can’t imagine what a college sports fan is going through with all this chaos. I know how challenging it is to be a coach and a player. Everyone knows my stance on the bipartisan PCSA bill in Congress. It’s not perfect, and there are things I don’t like about it, but it’s desperately needed to protect young American athletes and will solve the problems that now threaten the future of college sports.
We’re all tired of eligibility lawsuits in different states, different rules and different outcomes. The PCSA will solve that problem once and for all.
Under the PCSA, eligibility disputes would be adjudicated in federal court – not a hometown state court – and we would get protections and fairness for American 17, 18, 19 year old kids and double the amount of direct rev share payments from schools, which includes retention money.
One national standard. No thumb on the scale. Players First!
Charlie Baker is the leader we need right now. Thanks to all the student-athletes, my daughter included, who are demanding Congress end this madness.
A hilariously bad take from someone who has apparently never been on a college campus outside of the Deep South? Proud @UWBadgers grad here…tell those hippies in Madison they don’t support the football team! 🤣
Or Michigan, or Oregon, or Washington or Iowa or Minnesota or Texas or Boulder, etc, etc, etc.
Professional athletes don’t belong in college sports. 26 and 27 year old quarterbacks don’t belong in college sports. We can stop this and should.

Hard to describe watching your kid live her dream. Been to a lot of soccer games, none as emotional as this one. LFG, Dons.

Statement on the Protect College Sports Act from NCAA President Charlie Baker:
"After speaking with conference leaders and university presidents in recent days, one thing is clear: there is overwhelming consensus that targeted intervention from Congress is necessary. I am grateful to Senators Cruz and Cantwell for making meaningful changes to strengthen this bill.
This is the legislation we need now. It will grant student-athletes unprecedented academic, health, and wellness benefits, rein in out-of-control agents, and stabilize transfer, eligibility, and revenue-sharing rules.
While no bill is perfect, I implore college sports leaders and Senators to support this bill now. It is our best chance to deliver the benefits and level playing field student-athletes deserve while providing the protections institutions need to sustain college athletics long-term."
Very bummed out to learn of Glen Hansard's passing today. Reminded me of this epic performance at the funeral for another Irish legend. May all of our funerals be celebrations.

This right here. Lessons learned, but could have saved some pain in the past!!

JP will still be calling NWSL and other things. But for a legend World Cup broadcaster to take time and help me as some random college student impacted me in ways I can never repay.
Congratulations on a wonderful run, JP is forever the Godfather of American soccer broadcast.

If only club volleyball were cheaper we could compete on the global stage. Or ice hockey. Or baseball. Or lacrosse. This is youth sports in the United States (and it's bad for all sorts of reasons that aren't competitive!). But only in soccer do we point to it as the reason we can't compete (on the men's side).
"The youth system is broken" except virtually none of the guys on the men's team went thru the system that is being talked about, and nearly every member of the USWNT did. Rec to ECNL/GA to college/pro. Girls and women paving their way just fine. I've been a pay-to-play participant (daughter...ECNL to college). It's brutal and no DOUBT shuts way too many out. That sucks and is too true for so much of what happens to American youth (sports or not). But give me a break with it being the reason our men folded (again). Knock-out tournaments are hard. Narratives and momentum matter. I don't have the answers, but the "system" ain't it.

fireworks outside the visiting team hotels all night.... extreme heat and storms interrupting games ... unprecedented, suspicious administrative ruling undoing a suspension ...

Another gem from Henry.
