So UConn is following CSCU’s approach — secret voting as well as exec sessions?! 👀
“A non-binding tally of trustees was taken during the executive session of Wednesday’s board meeting. A majority of those in attendance for the private discussion indicated that they would oppose a contract renewal…”
In a closed session of the University of Connecticut's Board of Trustees on Wednesday, multiple members said they would oppose renewing the contract of Dr. Radenka Maric, the school's president since 2022. If that happened, who would replace her? wtnh.com/sports/uconn-huskie…

Elite clock management at the end of the game by the Lions.
Dan got the entire offense to huddle up around him, I imagine he’s letting them know to not score and just milk to clock so GB never has a chance to even touch it which is why Gibbs stopped himself from scoring later on

In two decades of playing fantasy football, I’ve never been hit in the mouth to open a game the way I have today. Cue up the “This is fine” meme🔥

This one’s for you pops❤️
They’ll be no more remarkable performance in college football today than the one put forth by Yale QB Dante Reno. One day after his father passed away, he played for Yale and threw four touchdown passes and for 298 yards. Yale beat Merrimack 41-24. Bravo.

I know this got a good laugh (on first glance it’s funny). The real story is this is becoming the norm with Print/TV outlets cutting staff. Monday was Heat media day, also Canes coaches availability & Panthers practice before opener. Few places have enough resources for all that.
Dolphins HC Jeff Hafley was visibly taken aback by the lack of reporters at his press conference today, with many of them attending Heat Media Day instead:
Coach: “is this everyone that’s coming …?”
Reporter: “it’s Heat media day.”
It’s clear what team runs this city 🔥

New photos obtained exclusively by CBS News reveal for the first time the widespread damage and destruction of buildings and vehicles at multiple U.S. positions across the Middle East, as a result of Iranian missile and drone attacks. The images were sent to CBS News by active service members on condition of anonymity.
"This is major damage to our bases that hasn't been communicated to the American public," one deployed service member said. "We're standing there with our eyes closed getting punched in the face."
