This is incredibly disingenuous from Kirk, he knows exactly how far in advance these non conference games are scheduled; Indiana was dogshit when its games this year were scheduled limiting their options and changing their logic.
Herbstreit singled out Notre Dame in his rant, but he also mentioned Indiana and the need for scheduling to improve for "a lot of teams." Herbstreit's commentary will likely draw pushback from Notre Dame fans, but he focused on the Irish because he's calling their game against BYU this weekend.

Pangram is evil and should not be taken at their word for any reason
Nick Ostrem @nickostrem.swifties.s... • 22d It's about the ethics of using Al in schools
and Pangram is an Al company, that's absolutely a related issue. Pangram loves stories like these because they get to position themselves as the Good Right Defender of Writing despite using the same tech funded by the same people for the same purpose.
It's like like taking Meta at their word about
child safety. Is it an issue? Yes. Is Meta advocating for child safety? Sure, when it benefits them. Should we trust them and cite them unquestioned? No.

I yelled at a comms person/intern
Rob Sand is giving up on trans kids, why shouldn't I give up on him
Hello,
I wrote a big long email to Josh Turek a month ago when his campaign started to buy into the fake narrative about trans kids playing sports.
I tried to connect their love of sports with his and encouraged him to be a hero instead of bullying kids who just want to play volleyball or run track with their friends.I don't know what to say here. I could say that Rob Sand taking the side of the fake conservative narrative about women's sports makes him look like a rube. I could say that conservatives do not care about girls sports, and repeatedly attempt to tear them down when they can't be used to draw attention to a vulnerable population. I could say that talking about this in the same way as Republicans do makes him look as dumb as they are, which is a very bad look for someone who is trying to separate himself from that.I could say that it makes him look craven. I could say that I think he doesn't genuinely believe this and is simply taking a position he believes will attract voters from the right while assuming that trans people and those of us who support them will suck it up and vote for him. I could say that this might be worse, because at least stupidity can be corrected.
Quite frankly, if this is true it makes me want to crawl in a hole until mid-November, consequences be damned. Why should I bother to vote for someone whose beliefs are so flimsy?Or it could be even worse: what if Rob Sand just genuinely does not give a shit about trans kids? Maybe he has never met one and the concept creeps him out. I can't say for certain any more, because the way he's acting doesn't show any sort of desire to actually stand up for them, instead choosing to cede this ground regardless of what steps are taken next. In other states they're starting to attack trans adults. They're restricting access to healthcare for everyone. Maybe Rob Sand forgot the asterisk after "..is for all lowans," that says "except trans kids". If Rob Sand isn't for trans kids and trans people, he's not for me either. I hope sometime between now and November he gets smart or grows a spine and truly becomes for all lowans, because I don't know if I can vote for someone who isn't for me.
