I’m sorry I was raised Pentecostal and neither of those are recognized as Christian and thus all the same……

We got our NCAA settlement:
* Previous players get paid lost $ opps to the tune of a couple billion at the cost of the schools.
* Schools can pay athletes directly up to 20.5 million for full ath dept. Goes up 4% a year for a decade.
* NIL payments over $600 will face evaluation for actual value.

At least it’s no longer the wild west.

KOTV just reported Texas Tech is going to complement the $20.5M with another $34.5M and have an annual budget of $55M/year to be paid to the student-athletes. The KOTV report said this likely puts them at the highest in the nation (at least for now). Additional NIL on top of that.

Need to move this to “US going backwards”.

Well hopfully the new NIL rules will keep that from happening. Thier athletes don't have anywhere near that value on an open market.

Supreme Court unanimously greenlights lawsuit over FBI's botched raid​

The Supreme Court ruled unanimously on Thursday that an Atlanta family whose home was mistakenly raided by the FBI in 2017 can move forward with their lawsuit.

The decision stems from a pre-dawn incident in which an FBI SWAT team broke down the family's front door, deployed a flashbang grenade, and pointed weapons at Trina Martin, her then-boyfriend Toi Cliatt, and her 7-year-old son, only to realize moments later they had entered the wrong house.

Why It Matters​

The ruling is significant in the broader debate over law enforcement accountability, particularly concerning mistaken raids. Public interest groups had urged the justices to reverse the lower court decision, arguing it set a dangerous precedent that would make it nearly impossible for victims of wrongful police actions to seek justice. The case also raises questions about sovereign immunity and the limits of the Federal Tort Claims Act, which governs lawsuits against the government.
