There are a lot of reasons why you never see me post on this app anymore. This, however, is one of the best reasons TO post.
I couldn’t be more amped for my friend of nearly 20 years — a fantastic reporter who so deserves this platform.
🗞️Personal news🗞️ — Thrilled to join @FOXSports as its new college sports writer.
First up, a dive into the NIL market + how two years after a $20M roster won a title, spending has ballooned.
How'd we get here? I asked around the industry for an answer.

Within 4 years, you can play all 17 teams — for the 6-team pods, you have 3 non-pod games every year and get through the other 11 (with one repeat).
You can shuffle the groups every 4 years for balance, if needed. But all traditional rivalries are preserved.
Haven’t been on here in a while, but this is news worthy of a tweet. I remember being in the DMN newsroom a little less than six years ago with Joe telling me how badly he wanted this specific job.
Now he’s got it, and it is absolutely earned and so deserved!
Some personal news ~
I’m heading back to The Dallas Morning News as their newest Dallas Cowboys beat reporter. I start next week.
@dallasnews has held a special place in my heart since my internship there nine years ago. It’s truly a home for me, and I can’t wait to go back.

There was no coach I enjoyed covering more for the @DukeChronicle than Chris Pollard, and he opened so many doors I didn’t think were possible for Duke baseball. I hope he knocks that last door down for himself at UVA, and I hope Duke meets him in Omaha when it happens.

A fun interview this weekend with Gov. Josh Shapiro about the Eagles, the most popular Pennsylvanian, a potential new stadium, and so much more...
Watch it now on YouTube or on the @PHLY_Eagles pregame show:

I don't know if Arkansas State has had a better assistant during the Butch Jones era than @CoachAKwon. One heck of a recruiter and someone who's consistently developed players into potential pros.
The thing that's killing me is the Onana errors returning. Not sure how much he was at fault for the set pieces, but I do wonder how he's been impacted by yet another GK coach change.
I can’t say I had the same level of interaction with @BobHoltADG as so many others, but nobody was more kind and welcoming during my time at the Dem-Gaz — whether I needed a number for Nolan Richardson or was chipping in on Razorback coverage in Little Rock.
Everyone, whether you met Bob once, many times or never at all, can get a sense of who he was from this piece.
Thinking of Bob’s colleagues, especially @TomMurphyADG, @ByMattJones, @ffrisco and so many others at the ADG. May Bob Holt’s memory be a blessing.
We lost Bob Holt, the nicest man in sports writing. A tribute to a unicorn we'll miss more than he'd ever realize. al.com/sec/2024/12/casagrand…
