Budget issues at Minnesota could spell trouble for the athletics department. Read more here.
Let's hope that if and when the University of Minnesota is forced to cut teams due to budget shortfalls, it doesn't use proportionality to guide its decisions.

It is not only physical training that impacts success at major competition. There are numerous emotional stressors that an athlete needs to be prepared for. Milt Nelms and my coach, Teri McKeever, have taught me how to use the ocean to enhance my mental training for racing in a 50 meter pool. We use the complexity and unpredictability of the ocean's waves to build not only physical resilience, but emotional resilience as well.
Part two is where six lucky children were pre-selected to have a private water safety lesson with Cullen in the pool. Today was different. We had a special guest joining us to encourage water safety and highlight the tragic drowning stats – Duane Brown, left tackle for the Houston Texans.

Introverts of the world,
She's got a great message for all those teachers & administrators that go overboard with "collaborative learning". You know the type, right? They "think" or "feel" they know what works in the classroom. Don't try undermining those folks with facts, right?
Stop the madness for constant group work...just stop it!
