**EEYORE VOICE** I dunno, I was genuinely surprised by the verdict, but less than an hour later I'm not really able to feel enthusiastic about there being any kind of justice. There are bigger problems in the gov't

As it gets increasingly harder and harder for us writer-types to reach new audiences, much less our existing audiences, I remind you that if you've read a book of ours (like, for me, BLACK RIVER ORCHARD) and liked it, it'd be swell if you left a review somewhere. That way we don't die in the abyss!

"It’s fucked because everyone's saying, ‘These guys can get paid now,’ but we aren’t getting paid for football or the value we bring through football. We are getting paid for a side hustle." NIL is not enough. @derekcrim.bsky.social + I explain for @thedailybeast.bsky.social.
This Is the Only Way to End College Sports Exploitationwww.thedailybeast.com College athletes are still not being paid for playing sports, while coaches and staff can earn millions. How is that remotely fair?

This case could revolutionize college athletics because, unlike Dartmouth, which sets precedent only for private institutions, the NLRB is treating USC, the Pac 12, and the NCAA as joint employers, which means that public schools may also be covered by the ruling.

I loved working on this book. The underlying history is one of my favorite things to describe to people, too - a tremendous example of how to take a literal world's worth of history over 100+ years and turn it into an engaging, readable narrative.
