Marc Edelman has spent much of the last two decades fighting to help college athletes get fairly compensated for their labor. A lawyer who is currently a tenured professor at Baruch College, Edelman has been writing about the NCAA's violations of antitrust law since 2002. In 2023, he advised both the states of Ohio and New York in their antitrust cases against the NCAA. As an antitrust expert who has dedicated so much time to thinking about college sports and how athletes should be properly compensated, Edelman felt like the perfect guy to talk to about the Protect College Sports Act, which was recently passed by the Senate and is expected to be voted on in the House after the midterm elections.

The “Cornell Seven” case highlights what’s wrong with Trump’s Title IX rules — and how the system was always designed to fail.

To hear powerhouse sports agent Drew Rosenhaus tell it, his client, the once-electric receiver Tyreek Hill, could sign with a new NFL team at any moment. From a football-only perspective, the agent's optimism makes sense. With so many teams losing starters to injuries, any football fan would expect a veteran like Hill to get a fresh look, especially from Kansas City, where receivers are suddenly in short supply and Hill previously won a Super Bowl. But any team that signs Hill would also be adding to its roster someone who is actively trying to keep documents and recordings out of court that, according to public records, reveal him making threats against his estranged wife, Lakeeta Vaccaro. Hill is still tied up in a contentious divorce case with her—Vaccaro has said Hill physically and emotionally abused her during their relationship—and it's scheduled to go to trial in Miami, starting today. Potential recordings that could come up at the trial includes nanny-cam footage in which Hill tells the mother of his child, per a transcript, that he isn't afraid of the police and is going to "throw your ass up." Per one court document, the video shows Hill "physically and violently throwing Ms. Vaccaro to the ground while he's attempted to grab the couple's baby."

White heteronormativity has long dominated the University of Arkansas. What does that mean for Black gay Arkansans?

When Veronica Spears read the letter, she began to shake. "What's wrong?" her husband asked. At the time, she said, she couldn't find the words to respond. "The letter said they found out that my grandfather had a brother that was in a reformation institution," she later told NPR in an interview. "And he passed away at the age of 12. We never knew." Spears' family is one of 16 that researchers with Georgetown University's Center for Youth Justice have linked to children who died at the House of Reformation and Instruction for Colored Children in Cheltenham, Md. The center has been working since February to identify children who died at 40 reform schools and youth detention centers across the country, as well as any surviving family members, as part of its Forgotten Children Initiative.

Ferry service has returned mostly to normal after 23 ferry engine room workers called out sick, shutting down 13 out of 18 vessels on Monday. While there’s no official confirmation workers coordinated these absences to flex their collective power to their bosses, Washington State ferries appeared to try and squash sympathies for the union ferry workers by publishing the tippy top of their highest paid worker’s possible salary if they were constantly overworked: $350,000.

Ride-hailing giant Lyft is set to pay a historic $272.5 million settlement to resolve allegations around misclassifying its drivers as independent contractors instead of employees. San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu said it was “the largest wage-and-hour settlement in California history.” “Every worker deserves to be paid fully and fairly,” Chiu wrote in a statement. “Misclassification exploits workers, fuels inequality, and creates an unfair economy.” The vast majority of the settlement, 87 percent, will go back to drivers. The restitution amount will be set in the future and based on “the number of hours and miles driven between April 5, 2016, through Dec. 15, 2020,” the period covered by the agreement. That’s a time before voters approved Proposition 22, an Uber- and Lyft-funded ballot measure that classified ride-hail drivers as independent contractors, meaning they would not receive the benefits and wage protections afforded to other workers. The gig companies spent more than $200 million on the measure.

Suspended Palm Beach County Clerk of Courts Mike Caruso said he has not abandoned his campaign, nor has the local Republican Party abandoned him, even after his arrest on child sex abuse charges.

Republican Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy was ridiculed en masse Saturday after nearly dropping a child at a GOP rally in Vandalia, Ohio. Video of the rally, at which President Donald Trump is scheduled to speak later Saturday night, showed Ramaswamy peering into the crowd and zeroing in on a young attendee holding a sign. According to Ramaswamy, the sign read, “My dad is deployed — proud military kid for Trump.” Ramaswamy is then seen asking the young attendee, who identified themself as being 10 years old, to join him on stage. “You want to come up here? Are you okay? You want to just come up here? Bring that… is it possible to get this young man up here or no?” Ramaswamy is heard saying. After the child joined Ramaswamy on stage, the gubernatorial candidate is then seen attempting to pick him up. “I’ll pick you up. There you go — whoa!” Ramaswamy said as he appeared to lose his grip on the child. “Big guy!” The moment was instantly met with ridicule by countless critics.

The parent company that owns the Kentucky Castle says it has removed Wes Henderson as CEO after court filings revealed Henderson is accused of filming people having sex without their knowledge, including at the Kentucky Castle, the company confirmed Saturday. The board and leadership of TKC Distilling, the parent company of the castle as well as True Story Whiskey, removed him as CEO effective immediately, TKC attorney Charity Bird said Saturday. Court filings say Henderson is accused by family members of secretly filming them and others at a vacation home in Florida as well as other locations, including the Kentucky Castle, according to a lawsuit filed earlier this year in Kentucky. Some of those recordings include people having sex, including at the Kentucky Castle, a court filing says.

Recent city reports show L.A. resurfacing small streets to avoid multimodal and accessibility mandates. This practice has steered street resources to wealthier neighborhoods. L.A. City resumed resurfacing streets after a hiatus, but right now the work completed appears unfair and inequitable. The city’s own reporting shows that most L.A. City council districts have seen no repaving at all since July 1. Some districts haven’t had a single block resurfaced since mid-2025. Some Recent History Affecting City Repaving In March 2024, L.A. City voters approved Measure HLA, designed to install planned walk/bus/bike improvements when the city repaves or reconfigures streets. The city has implemented relatively few walk/bus/bike improvements since HLA became law. In order to avoid multimodal improvements, the city repeatedly changed which streets it repaves. As soon as HLA took effect in April 2024, the city essentially paused repaving streets where improvements were planned. In July 2025, the city paused all repaving, instead shifting to costly partial resurfacing termed “large asphalt repair”
