Ole Miss is probably going to have to cap enrollment because they don't have space for everyone.

He said clients have been “calling in a panic — asking if they should be looking for ways to cut out potentially undocumented workers.” (He added that his clients do not know themselves to be employing any.)
Employers are “very scared — folks in LA, particularly,” said Bruce Buchanan, a leading immigration lawyer based in Nashville.

Lockheed Martin paid bonuses based on race

Lockheed adopted radical DEI policies and, in one instance, required white men in leadership positions to attend a racial reeducation program and atone for their “white male privilege.”
Now, a whistleblower has come forward to claim that Lockheed executives were so committed to DEI policies that they awarded some year-end bonuses based on employees’ skin color, rather than performance—in open violation of civil rights law.

There is a segment of the left that believes the riots of 2020 is why they won in 2020.
They do not believe that mail-in ballots and COVID restrictions had anything to do with it.

re: Question for Mississippi State fans, why don't you bark?

Other than cowbells and contentment in mediocrity, Mississippi State doesn't have much tradition. Over the years, they have tried to do some things, but nothing sticks.
The Chuck Smooth version of Who Let the Dogs Out was popularized in the late 90s (way before the Baja Men version). We let that die.
Mullen's idea of playing Dont Stop Believin before the fourth quarter had some cool moments. We let that die.
The Famous Maroon Band plays that pedophile song that our crowd can't get the beat of on the cheer. Of course that's still happening.

I’ve never heard of “Toxic Empathy” but I’ve long said that empathy is a vice.
The book's premise is that the progressive left has used empathy to manipulate people, including many on the right of the political spectrum, in order to push their agenda.
She focuses on five areas where she opines that progressives have been successful in using empathy as a weapon.
abortion (abortion is healthcare)
gender (trans women are women)
sexuality (love is love)
immigration (no human is illegal)
social justice (black lives matter)

If I were doing an all sports ranking, I would weight the sports like this.
Big Five (15+ SEC teams sponsor, all rounds of NCAA Championships are on non-streaming TV)
Championships are worth 2 points each
Football, Men's Basketball, Women's Basketball, Baseball, Softball
Emerging Sports (Championships are well attended and covered)
Championships are worth 1 point each
Soccer, Volleyball, Gymnastics
Country Club Sports
Championships are worth 0.5 point each
Swimming, Equestrian, Golf, Tennis, Rowing
Track and Cross Country
Championships are worth 0.5 points each with max of 1 point per school
XC, Indoor and Outdoor Track

I believe I heard someone say it was the most schools to ever have won an SEC Championship in a single academic year.
Missouri, Ole Miss, Tennessee and Vanderbilt were the only schools to not win an SEC title in something.Tennessee is especially surprising after winning three (all in Big 5 sports) last year
Last academic year:
Tennessee : 3 (Baseball, Men's Basketball, Softball)
South Carolina - 1 (Women's Basketball)
Arkansas - 5 (Men's XC, Men's Indoor Track, Women's Indoor Track, Men's Outdoor Track, Soccer)
Florida - 4 (Women's XC, Gymnastics, Men's Swimming, Women's Swimming)
Auburn - 2 (Equestrian, Men's Golf)
Alabama - 1 (Football)
Mississippi State - 1 (Women's Golf)
LSU - 1 (Women's Outdoor Track)
Kentucky - 2 (Men's Tennis, Volleyball)
Georgia - 1 (Women's Tennis)

I prefer "The Sin of Empathy: Compassion and Its Counterfeits" by Joe Rigney.
Allie Beth Stuckey is fine, but sometimes she comes across a bit hyperbolic.
I've read Rigney's book as well. My wife read Toxic Empathy and was ready to run through a wall and wanted me to read it. It was an easy way to connect with her on something and we've had some good discussions with each other with our Gen Alpha daughter in the room.
This book is way better than I expected.

of the ~300,000 new hires at the Fortune 100 between 2016 and 2021, only 6% went to straight white men.
I've been out of the corporate world for 20 years, has it really got that bad?

This whole coach hire has shown me one thing. Mississippi State may be at the bottom of the barrel in the SEC, but holy crap we are in better shape than some.
Virginia's athletic department is a total cluster, apparently. Lost football, basketball and baseball coaches in one year. Athletic director is a DEI hire that is pouring money into women's sports while facilities are falling apart.

Just thought I would add that Kendall Rogers reports that State has the largest NIL pot in the country.
We are so weird. Many of our big boosters are baseball only.
I think our strategy is when the big round of conference realignment happens, just as someone will say "We need Kentucky for basketball," there will be an opinion of "We need State for baseball."
Hope it works. I don't think it will.
