The IRS will do your taxes for you (if that's what you prefer): After years of expensively purchased delay, Turbotax and its fellow tax-profiteers are losing the fight to make you pay them to tell the government what it already knows.

USC sophomore quarterback Caleb Williams is the 2022 Heisman Trophy winner, becoming the first Trojan to win the award since Reggie Bush in 2005.
Williams won over TCU’s Max Duggan, Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud and Georgia’s Stetson Bennett. latimes.com/sports/usc/sto…

Williams is the eighth USC player to win the Heisman Trophy, the most of any school, though the Heisman Trust officially acknowledges 7 after NCAA sanctions against USC saw Bush stripped of his trophy. Not since 2005 has USC sent a finalist to New York. latimes.com/sports/usc/sto…
Convincing Williams to follow Lincoln Riley to #USC meant mending some fences with Williams and his family. Riley’s rebuild was well underway when he rang Williams, who he knew could be the crown jewel of what became a 25-transfer class. latimes.com/sports/usc/sto…
“I used to write down my goals in a journal,” Caleb Williams said from the Heisman Trophy stage. “What used to just be words on a piece of paper has me standing here today.”

The quarterback was on vacation, walking on a Florida beach to clear his head about his entrance into the transfer portal, when the coach called. The conversation, as it turned out, would mark a turning point in the storied history of USC football. latimes.com/sports/usc/sto…

When Caleb Williams followed coach Lincoln Riley from Oklahoma to @uscfb in February, the sophomore quarterback was billed as a star in the making.
Less than a year later, he enters Saturday’s Heisman Trophy ceremony as the overwhelming favorite.

While still in high school, #USC QB Caleb Williams enlisted a strategic advisory firm for media training and then portfolio planning. Before NIL was real, Williams and his team prepped for the future — his own, and those who might follow in his footsteps. latimes.com/sports/usc/sto…

The presence of a Black starting quarterback is so common that most interviewed for this column didn't know Saturday’s QBs will make history.

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

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.

USC and UCLA have been flagship members of the Pac-12 for nearly a century.
But the two are leaving for the Big Ten, moving from a largely ignored 12-team league to a powerful 14-team group in some of the most visible markets in the country.

After three turbulent years atop one of college baseball’s proudest programs, USC and head coach Jason Gill have mutually agreed to part ways.
latimes.com/sports/usc/sto…
latimes.com/sports/usc/sto…
Gill departs after #USC finished last in the Pac-12 and over a year after the university opened an investigation into his conduct as coach.
The news was made official Monday, when baseball players and staff were asked to meet to discuss the program.

Ready for the #CFB Analytics Spring Top 40? Here we go. This Power Ranking is derived from a model which utilizes full Coach Staff efficiency metrics, roster talent, & returning production among other metrics. No opinion here, I just regurgitate the numbers. #NoOpinionJustNumbers
40 #Kentucky #BBN #SEC Power Rating: 61.726
Returning Production for the Wildcats may be a problem. At 39.72%, it puts them at 113th in the country. The schedule is manageable tho drawing Ole Miss & Miss State out the West. #CFB

Really like the new coaching staff in Seattle. Should put them in a better position to win. Roster talent purge from the prev regime will have an early effect (last 2 classes were 39th, 86th) but the ship has been righted.

Unless you’re going to hire an elite to transcendent coach that transforms the program long term, a change doesn’t make sense to me.
And past performance seems to show that Meyer results in immediate, short-term gain AND serious scandals that I don’t think #USC can afford right now.
Version 3 of the #CFBPlayoff rankings were released last night. What you expected? If youve followed along since early Oct you know the process. You werent surprised. For the rest of you, lets take a look & compare to what was projected using the same process used for 5 yrs.
First off, why does the committee use this process? Think about it. 14 busy guys make up this committee. They have roughly 60 hrs from when the last game ends on Sat to when they need to have this Top 25 created on Tues. If they evaluate only 30 teams to get that 25, how much
time is adequate to evaulate? 1 hr? Thats 30 hrs of evaluation. Half the time is gone & no one has slept. The process of getting a consensus out of 14 people hasnt even started. Thats why this process is kept so simple, & its why they have a defined predictable process.
