SEC’s Sankey Says Language in Tampering Rules Is ‘Archaic’ and NCAA Needs to Adjust Quickly

Published by Sam Flores

Southeastern Conference commissioner Greg Sankey called NCAA language covering tampering rules “archaic,” but stopped short of urging the oversight body to halt tampering investigations, the way the Big Ten did earlier this week. Speaking to reporters Saturday at the SEC basketball tournament in Nashville, Tennessee, the commissioner said the new landscape in college sports, which includes name-image-likeness payments to players, shifting and liberal transfer rules along with the increased influence of agents, calls for the language surrounding the rules to be changed. “We need clarity,” Sankey said. “Secondly, we need understanding on the part of policymakers of what’s actually happening. How’s this game being played? That doesn’t mean the NCAA should just stop. But the notion that a memo would be sent and that changes things when the NCAA is perceived as sitting on the sidelines, that’s not a workable solution.” The NCAA followed with a memo — the one Sankey speaks of — announcing it would “pursue significant penalties” for tampering violations. While the Big Ten sent a letter to the NCAA asking for …

Usually an hour seems like an insignificant amount of time, but even this minimal loss can cause problems. There can be significant health repercussions of this forcible shift in the body clock. Springing forward is usually harder that falling backward. Why? The natural internal body clock rhythm in people tends to be slightly longer than 24 hours, which means that every day we tend to delay our sleep schedules. open image in gallery Even though it’s technically just one hour lost due to the time change, the amount of sleep deprivation due to disrupted sleep rhythm lasts for many days and often throws people off schedule, leading to cumulative sleep loss (Getty/iStock) Thus, “springing forward” …

However, while this period can be difficult, it also brings new opportunities for personal growth, re-evaluating goals and building self-reliance. We spoke to some therapists about what key concerns and issues people often struggle with during this adjustment period, who have also shared some valuable advice on how to thrive during this new chapter of life.

Published by skeptic

While some of the world’s biggest tech companies including Meta, Google and (reportedly) Apple are eyeing the future of smart glasses, startups are working on a major innovation for the other kind of glasses. The regular kind, worn by billions across the world. One of those startups, Finland-based IXI Eyewear, has raised more than $40 million from investors including Amazon to build glasses with adaptive lenses that could dynamically autofocus based on where the person wearing them is looking. Don’t miss any of our unbiased tech content and lab-based reviews. Add CNET as a preferred Google source. In late 2025, the company said it had developed a glasses prototype that weighs just 22 grams. It includes embedded sensors aimed at the wearer’s eyes and liquid crystal lenses that respond accordingly. According to the company, the autofocus is “powered by technology hidden within the frame that tracks eye movements and adjusts focus instantly — whether you’re looking near or far.” By contrast, smart glasses like Meta’s Ray-Bans and Ray-Bay Displays as well as Xreal and Google’s Project Aura are leaning into cameras that …

The sun would rise over the Rockies, and Robin Gammons would run to the front porch to grab the morning paper before school. She wanted the comics and her dad wanted sports, but the Montana Standard meant more than their daily race to grab “Calvin and Hobbes” or baseball scores. When one of the three kids made honor roll, won a basketball game or dressed a freshly slain bison for the History Club, appearing in the Standard’s pages made the achievement feel more real. Robin became an artist with a one-woman show at a downtown gallery and the front-page article went on the fridge, too. Five years later, the yellowing article is still there. The Montana Standard slashed print circulation to three days a week two years ago, cutting back the expense of printing like 1,200 U.S. newspapers over the past two decades. About 3,500 papers closed over the same time. An average of two a week have shut this year. That slow fade, it turns out, means more than changing news habits. It speaks …
