I found this article interesting:

https://www.chronicle.com/article/Why-Are-Black-People-So/243443?cid=at&utm_source=at&utm_medium=en&elqTrackId=e975fdaf96f34b2c809d7c5e01ade60d&elq=d0a83d294c87425c835e943014d578de&elqaid=19131&elqat=1&elqCampaignId=8667

This is about an internal survey which asks members of the university community to respond to questions such as - "why are black people so loud?" or "Do Muslim women wear the hajib in the shower?".  They intend to have members of the SMU minority community discuss the responses next Fall.  The hope is that the discussion will make it easier to deal with stereotypes within the context of the SMU community.

      The Athletic on DFW Football recruiting

      We can b!tch and moan all we want...but schools have 3 choices: 1. Change it 2. Complain about it 3. Adapt to it Won't be long (if they're not doing it already) before coaches start telling kids "You didn't get that P5 offer you wanted, come here and we'll develop you and then help you get there." Coaches used to say that to kids wanting to go pro. Now instead of: "I'll help you get to the NFL" it may be: "I'll help you get to Alabama." They're being forced to start thinking about players as 2 year players instead of 4 year players. So that coach is technically correct...G5s are now on a juco time table: 2 year plan vs 4 year plan.

      The Athletic on DFW Football recruiting

      Interesting results from an anonymous survey of DFW high school football head coaches in The Athletic. One of the questions was to name the best college assistant coaches at recruiting. Patrick Cobbs was our only coach mentioned. And he was mentioned multiple times. Here is another quote from a DFW high school head coach that I found interesting and true unfortunately: “The Group of 5s are now junior colleges. If your kid is all-conference, he ain’t coming back. He’s gone, and you know he’s gone. They have to change their thinking for how they build their programs. They have to tell kids, “Come here, play a couple years and you’ll be gone.” They have to just be good with that. They’re not going to stay around.” Link to article: https://theathletic.com/5422366/2024/04/18/dallas-texas-high-school-recruiting-confidential/?source=user_shared_article

      Almost all of these are wrong. Truth definitely isn't the best BBQ in Houston.
