MSU President Mark Keenum on the future of college football, NCAA
SUMMARY: The content discusses the idea of creating a super league for college football by doing away with conferences. While some equity funds are interested in investing in college athletic programs, the focus remains on the collegiate model and prioritizing student athletes obtaining an education. Discussions are also ongoing about the governance structure of college athletics within the NCAA, with the possibility of more autonomy for power conferences. Despite interesting ideas, it seems unlikely that seismic changes will come soon. The conversation ends with a focus on supporting student athletes, competitiveness in the SEC, and achieving success both on the field and academically.
The university leader involved in the College Football Playoff shares his opinion on what the future may hold with college athletics.
SUMMARY: John Horn is projected to win the Jackson Democratic mayoral primary runoff, securing approximately 75% of the vote against incumbent Mayor Chak Lumbum’s 25%. Election analysts, Dr. Deandre Oie and Russ Latino, discuss the implications of Horn’s decisive victory, viewing it as a significant rejection of Lumumba’s administration amid ongoing challenges such as the water crisis and public safety concerns. Latino emphasizes Horn’s experience and ability to foster collaboration, whereas Oie notes Lumumba’s struggle to transition from an advocate to a politician. The discussion points to a desire for effective leadership and change in Jackson’s governance.
