"Seck remains in ICE custody in Leitchfield. Reynolds previously told The Courier Journal that Seck has had trouble getting consistent access to ice for her injury and is in 'so much pain.'"
I asked DHS why ICE detained Kentucky State WBB player Aminata Seck. This is their reply.
Seck was detained while traveling with her team, and her attorney said she may have missed a visa deadline due to back surgery.

"In 2024, NCAA president Charlie Baker testified to the Senate that he knows of fewer than 10 transgender student-athletes out of 510,000 college athletes."
There’s been a lot of conversation about transgender athletes around the WNBA lately. But what are the trans participation laws in each state? What do pro sports policies say? How many trans athletes are really playing women’s sports?
All the facts: usatoday.com/story/sports/20…

"Louisiana Tech reported budgeting $1.98 million to pay players, of which $1.2 million will be used for football, nearly $500,000 for men’s basketball, $200,000 for baseball and $86,000 for all women’s sports."
The University of Louisiana System accidentally published team-level revenue sharing numbers for four of its schools despite a new state law that allows them to shield that information. Here’s how they’re spending it: #lalege #lagov

Will be showing this to my class today.
This story is a credit to @D_Bo20 and the Robinson Family. They want to tell you about Eli. They're hoping it helps others.
It's worth remembering: “Maybe we can all be a little less certain about knowing what someone is going through."

A rare question for a male superstar athlete about women's sports. More of this please!
“WNBA is flourishing. Look what these women are doing. Look at the money they made over the last few years. Look at the visibility of their league. They got 4,5 signature athletes on major brands that are representing major brands”

Honestly don't know how those agents do it. The best days have to be so boring, and you cannot have a worst day.
It looked like a harmless flashlight, but TSA found a knife hidden inside.
During screening at Tampa International Airport, an officer flagged the unusual item after its makeup and composition stood out on the X-ray.
Then comes the reveal: a 4-inch, double-edged knife integrated into the flashlight's handle.
TSA says the passenger initially claimed he didn't know the item was in his bag, but later told police he'd put it beneath the lining to save space. He has been arrested and not allowed to travel.
See how TSA officers uncovered it and what an airport security expert says about concealed blades: foxnews.com/travel/frighteni…

The Florida Senate threatened journalists at the @orlandosentinel and @SunSentinel with possible arrest if they published a report - that taxpayers funded - that showed insurance companies made misleading claims about losing money.
We published anyway.🧵

I wonder if DOGE looked into this...
New: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes. propub.li/4yLLwaF

I find it interesting that AI leaders and college football leaders -- after disdaining oversight for so long -- are seeking government help at the exact same time.

From a journalistic perspective, I appreciate how the writer is so transparent here -- right from the top.
Dylan Larkin doesn’t owe us every detail.
But he does own how he handles this once it becomes public.
My thoughts on Larkin, accountability, and how poorly this has been handled.
