My latest op-ed in @swimswamnews: College sports leave $$$ on the table. The gap with pro sports will close... It’s just a matter of where the money flows. Will it sustain universities & all sports, or just football?

College sports leave billions on the table. Whoever closes that gap for all athletes, not just football, is the one truly saving college sports.

Thank you, @CodyC64, for seeing the big picture and supporting Olympic sports.
NEW: Don't expect college football games to be free from politics. Billionaire booster/Trump ally Cody Campbell will run ads during CFB this weekend to tout ideas from his Saving College Sports campaign. He tells @FOS there "definitely" will be more. https://t.co/w5h4cVdcOX

Hardly a rivalry but every time these 2 play on the gridiron it is an epic matchup. In 3 of the 4 seasons, the winner went on to play in the national championship (winning it twice) and the 4th was the Fiesta Bowl in 2009. Comparing the 20 similar sports, Texas is way ahead!
@Direct_Cupdates This is too good to pass up! We play Ohio St. on August 31. So let's see Texas vs Ohio State. Need to work on some data-backed trash talk for my visit to the Shoe. @TexasFootball @TexasMSD

Just published: the SwimSwam story on Wyatt Collins - his leap from coaching at Texas to building a life in art. Discipline, identity, reinvention. Proud to help tell it.

Former Texas associate head coach Wyatt Collins has embarked on a new journey since leaving the Longhorns last fall.

Big-time move by the Spiekers and Cal. Congrats! These kinds of investments set up Olympic-sport programs forever. Let’s go Texas—our swim program deserves this level of belief. Maybe time to stop calling them “non-revenue.”
Some really, really good news coming out of the College Swimming world today. Ned and Carol Spieker aren't messing around.

There’s always a Tweet.
Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!

TEXAS TAKES THE CUP. 🏆 1255.25 points in a down-to-the-wire finish—Texas Swimming & Diving delivered a powerhouse 185-point boost. Men: 100 | Women: 85. Elite. Consistent. Championship-caliber. #HookEm #DirectorsCup #TexasFight
Well folks, WE DID IT AGAIN! The LEARFIELD DIRECTORS' CUP HAS BEEN CLINCHED for the fourth time in five years and will remain right here where it belongs on the Forty Acres! https://t.co/plt5tPzWwL

Let’s go! Hook’em!
Take a look at the final scorecards for the @TexasLonghorns, @USC_Athletics and @GoStanford. The difference between 1st and 3rd is 4.25 points or 0.33%. It's a razor thin margin considering this is a contest that covers 36 sports (31 that these teams compete in).

When Texas football takes 75% of revenue sharing and baseball gets 1.8%, you can see where this is headed. Bohls is right: the new model isn’t about balance—it’s about survival of the most valuable. For Olympic sports, the fight for relevance is urgent.

It's amazing how much progress has been made by "non-revenue" collegiate sports over the last few years when it comes to in-person and digital viewership of events... Wrestling? Sold 18,000+ tickets/day at NCAAs. Women's Basketball? 24M peak viewers for a game. Gymnastics?

Silver’s 2025 rally has been historic 📈 — so what will it look like in 2026? The current parabolic move shows signs of mania versus fundamentals, but those market fundamentals are still bullish. (1/5)

Just published in @swimswamnews: Olympic sports aren’t protected—and maybe never were. With roster caps, NIL consolidation, and the CSC rising, it’s time for strategic activism. Here's my take—and what we need to do now: https://t.co/N77Jl4mSFP

If Olympic sports don’t act now, we may not be part of what comes next.
