Calling balls and strikes: This is a great message @bofrench.
Lazy, sensationalist headline here. The “DraftKings executive” is a board of trustees member at the University of North Carolina, and we spoke to him in that capacity - one of the hundreds of universities Saving College Sports has engaged with. And of course we have talked to “influential” politicians. How else would we help get the bill passed??
Newest for @FOS
New records obtained by FOS show Saving College Sports communicating with influential conservative political figures, a DraftKings executive, university leaders, and conference commissioners.

Fascinating discussion here - worth the listen.
Today I sit down with Ross Perot Jr., Chairman of Hillwood and The Perot Group. Ross founded Hillwood in 1988 and built Alliance Texas, his masterpiece, a 1 of 1 27,000-acre development.
We discuss:
• Why Trammell Crow told him to just build warehouses
• How Hillwood developed Alliance Texas
• How a rare earth company got its air permit in three weeks
• How President Bush helped close Scotiabank's move to Texas
• What the 1992 campaign looked like from inside the family
• The Iran War and why cheap oil prices are on the way
• Why every community should want a data center
• How to keep China from taking Taiwan
• Why he expects markets to boom after the midterms

Could FSU pay a $68MM buyout PLUS buy their way out of the @ACCconference??
No worries. I’m sure that Florida taxpayers won’t mind footing the bill! @GovDeSantis
Coaching carousel questions:
✅Will USC pay a $70 million buyout for Lincoln Riley?
✅Could FSU pay up to $68 million for entire football staff?
✅Clemson won’t fire Dabo, but can they catch up?
✅Is Prime's reality show over at Colorado?
✅Can South Carolina or Rutgers afford change? espn.com/college-football/st…
Let me tell you something: This SOB has PLENTY of chickens. The difference is @JoeyMcGuireTTU. Money is money, but football is still football!
For the record, I walked up and put @brettyormark in a solid headlock just before this picture was taken…true story! 😂 All in good fun. Go @Big12Conference!

NEW: Trump's advisor on college sports, Randy Levine, tells @FOS that the effort to get rid of the Protect College Sports Act's expansion restriction is futile.
"I've talked to the Big Ten yesterday and the SEC. And they have no plans to expand.”

Amazing bipartisan vote last night to pass the Protect College Sports Act in the Senate! This is a huge win for athletes, schools, fans, and everyone who loves college sports!
Tonight the U.S. Senate passed the Protecting College Sports Act, through an overwhelming and bipartisan 77-22, vote! Congratulations and thank you to @tedcruz @SenatorCantwell, @Senator_Schmitt, @ChrisCoons, their staffs, and Senate Commerce staff. Also huge thanks to @realDonaldTrump, @WhiteHouse staff, the legendary Randy Levine and Nick Saban, Dary Stone, and thousands of athletes, hundreds of universities, dozens of conferences, and innumerable passionate fans who helped make history tonight.
This bill is a huge step forward in protecting opportunity, stability, and sustainability of this uniquely American institution - especially women’s sports, our Olympic programs, and the often-forgotten communities that revolve around and depend on college sports.
We strongly urge the House to move as quickly as possible and send this bill to the President’s desk!
