Shaking off a Northwestern rally in which the Wildcats erased a 13-point deficit, second-seeded @UCLAMBB held off the No. 7 seed for a 68-63 win in the second round of the #NCAATournament.

The Bruins’ celebration was muted because of a late-game injury.

UCLA senior guard David Singleton, whose three-pointer gave his team a late six-point lead, slipped and sprained his ankle with 20 seconds left.

He was helped off but returned and wiggled his fingers as he walked off the court to cheers from the crowd. latimes.com/sports/ucla/st… Image

So it appears as if the #B1G may hold off on further expansion until atleast 2024 (why 2024?, ND/NBC contract expires in April 2025 & the BigTen won't make a move w/out a definitive answer from the Irish). Let's take a look at what Pods may look like from the new 16 team B1G.🧵
Pod 1
USC
UCLA
Northwestern
Illinois

Travel is going to be a nightmare for USC/UCLA. The #B1G would be wise to try and ease that as much as possible. The easiest/closest travel from LA would be to Chicago hence Northwestern. Illinois comes along as NW's biggest rival.
Pod 2
Nebraska
Iowa
Minnesota
Wisconsin

This Pod is fairly self explanatory. Preservation of the historic Iowa/Minnesota/Wisconsin rivalries is obtained and the new additional rivalries w/ Nebraska are nurtured. #B1G shouldn't spilt these four.

As many as 3-5% of admitted students at these elite Universities were under-qualified and over-privileged, given spots to leverage fundraising.

Lots of these schools barely have 5% Black students and TT faculty. #AcademicChatter #highereducation #highered
The other 15 universities in the lawsuit are @Brown, Cal Tech, Chicago, Columbia, Cornell, #Dartmouth, Emory, Georgetown, #MIT, #Northwestern, Notre Dame, Penn, Rice, Vanderbilt and #Yale.

Perhaps economically challenged superstar students will take their talents elsewhere.
I have *never* believed the racial #AffirmativeAction hype they tried to sell—that these alumni admits and full pay, overprivileged AA kids were smarter than we were. Please. Years of teaching affirm that under-resourced students can be so much smarter and more interesting too.

5 years ago today I was given a 2nd chance at life. I was diagnosed with diffuse scleroderma and was given 2-5 years to live. After having chemo to eradicate my immune system, I was given my own stem cells back. This saved my life by resetting my immune system.
Today I celebrate!
This was the harvesting process of my stem cells so I wouldn't have any transplant rejection issues.
I had to inject myself with neupogen to produce the stem cells that I needed.
