Was very honored to be inducted into the International Academy of Trial Lawyers this morning.
Another great piece from Ken about the guy who was the heart and soul of Tech football the past several years! So happy for his success.
When Haynes King called his dad to confirm that he'd made the Panthers' 53-man roster, it was about as emotional and goose-bumpy as you might imagine a Haynes King conversation to be.
Said John King: "Very short response. Not too excited."

Great piece from @ksugiuraajc before England's ATL game. Great reading for my barrister friends. I say "your honor", you say "my lord", I say the jury "is" & you say "the jury are". Trial lawyers & barristers know you speak to the audience before you. ajc.com/sports/2026/07/tryin…

As a trial lawyer, I totally agree with @TomMarsLaw 's assessment. And the Judge's order provides scant reasoning for why he thinks Sorsby will ultimately "succeed on the merits" in this case.
Reaction from lawyer Tom Mars, a veteran of NCAA cases: "In 40 years as a lawyer, I've never been as shocked and surprised by a court ruling." That sums the reaction on the college sports landscape today.

This is disqualifying. I don't care how smart you are, how nice a person you are, or what your politics are. If you've never tried a jury trial to verdict, you don't need to be a trial judge.
DOJ says, "One set of rules for me, another thee!" Hard to see why it would be okay for Government lawyers to lie in court when the rest of the Bar plays by the rules. nytimes.com/2026/03/13/opini…

7 Rights in civil cases
8 Bail, fines, punishment
9 Rights retained
10 States' rights
It's the @ajc's @ksugiuraajc with the sports column of the year, highlighting the vast gulf between the @SEC hype and their on field performance. Just a great piece!

Who's gonna tell the @CollegeGameDay and @SECNetwork crowd! "Talk show college football" and on-the-field college football are two entirely different things.

If this stat doesn't show how out of touch with reality the ESPN commentariat & "The Committee" is with what transpires on the football field, I don't know what does. Also, gives the lie to the Greg Sankey "it just means more" and we want 7 SEC teams in the playoff narrative.
Records against other P4 conferences in bowl games so far:
ACC: 7-2 🤔
BIG-12: 4-3
BIG-10: 5-4
SEC: 1-8 🤔

Georgia Tech Legend !
Haynes King on why he felt it important to play in Pop-Tarts Bowl: “I wanna play for my teammates. We’ve put time, effort, blood, sweat and tears all into this season. And it’s not over yet. I’m not one to jump ship and quit. I wanna ride it out and finish it with my brothers.”

Curious if this is true? (NOT whether Philo was better...he wasn't...King was ACC POY, #10 in Heisman...but whether Faulkner actually thought or said that.)

The NCAA has to be run by "litigation morons." They pick fights they can't win and die on hills that never should have been defended. If you're disgusted with the state of college athletics, NIL, the transfer portal, etc., you can blame the NCAA litigation strategy.
Breaking: An Alabama judge has granted former Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt an injunction against the NCAA preventing it from enforcing its show cause order or interfering with his employment opportunities.

If Alabama makes it over Notre Dame & Miami, the belief that the system is rigged in favor of the SEC & the teams that ESPN wants in for higher TV ratings is almost certainly true. You can't talk about the "eye test" & then give Alabama a pass for a 3 TD blowout and -3 rushing.

I agree that the Tuesday ranking show serves no purpose (other than generating viewers & ad revenue). But the rationale here is kind of interesting. Basically, they're saying it limits "the committee's" ability to just put in whomever they want to in the final week. 🤦♀️
Kirk Herbstreit and Nick Saban are both ready to dump the weekly CFP rankings.
"Honestly I think we should remove, with all due respect, the Tuesday night show."
