Every week, we get so many of these comments from people while we’re in or around Tucson. And it’s always the same answer: there’s no question Arizona deserves our boys. They saw greatness in them when nobody else did. I mean, Coach Gonzales came to one spring practice when Dash was at Santa Margarita and wanted to offer him. He offered him in Week 3 of his junior year. Then he had to defend it constantly and still didn’t care. Coach Bringuel called him every damn night until the day he showed up on campus. At Dash’s official visit, we talked NIL money. I had told Dash he wasn’t getting any because he was staying with Noah and had no expenses. I had told Ben T. to use it on our receivers. But in the meeting, Ben told Dash he was getting the NIL package that he and the staff knew Dash was going to deserve. That makes Arizona more than deserving to me. Our family will forever be indebted to Arizona for the love and commitment they show our boys. Just proving people right and watching as God continues to write this story. 🥤➡️🐻⬇️

1/ I spoke with @CBSSunday for today’s show. Some additional info on the U.S. legal industry. Legal sports betting is entertainment for millions of adults. And for some, gambling activity can become disordered, and those who struggle deserve support. 🧵

1/ Just published the deepest dive I've done on prediction markets. Some of you won't read a longer article, so here: Thesis -- SCOTUS is the wrong venue to sort this out. The statute can't answer what's being asked of it, the courts have contradicted each other for predictable reasons, and the one piece of legislative history everyone keeps citing is basically worthless. 🧵
