Letters: Players flood transfer portal — perhaps CU not ready for Prime Time after all

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:22:47 GMT

Perhaps CU not ready for Prime Time after allRe: “Sami, 4 others enter transfer portal,” April 26 sports story, and “Ugly side of Sanders Effect? Kids who felt pushed to transfer,” April 25 sports columnAfter having just read several reports about new Colorado football coach Deion Sanders forcing multiple players into the transfer portal, I believe the CU administration has their own housecleaning to do: force Sanders and his staff into their own transfer portal.Sanders feels that he has to treat these players like old furniture. These are young men whose dreams of playing football were destroyed by Sanders. Not only do they have to find a new school to attend, they risk losing scholarships and will have to spend large sums to relocate. In addition, players were initially deprived of access to their practice tapes for no good reason.Does the CU administration approve of these cheesy tactics? One reasonable alternative would be to bring out the bulldozers and ...

Opinion: Diversity is going from a virtue to a vice on college campuses

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:22:47 GMT

The politically craven assaults on diversity, equity and inclusion on college campuses in Florida and Texas are embarrassing. Unless you’re an opportunist looking for a leg up in a possible run for governor. Then, the attacks are inspiring.Case in point: Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones is now demanding information on what the state’s public universities are spending on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, including staffing, the names and aims of the programs.“These programs are particularly concerning when taxpayer funds are used to enforce the type of intellectual and political conformity that appears to be the hallmark of many campus DEI initiatives,” wrote Jones in a letter to University System of Georgia Chancellor Sonny Perdue. Jones is being mentioned as a possible GOP candidate for governor in 2026.Perdue drew Jones’ wrath for criticizing the Legislature’s $66 million cut to the higher education budget, telling The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: “This is an incredibly dis...

Why the Warriors need Jordan Poole to let it fly against the Los Angeles Lakers

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:22:47 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — The Warriors had nine seconds left to tie Game 1 back up. After a 14-0 run punctuated with a Steph Curry 3-pointer that erased a deep fourth quarter deficit, the Chase Center crowd had every reason to believe a victory was in reach.The Lakers had reclaimed the lead with a D’Angelo Russell driving layup and a free throw with plenty of time for a Warriors counter. They trapped Curry up top, leaving Jordan Poole wide open on the other side of the wing.About a half-second separated Draymond Green’s swing pass and Poole’s shot release from 27 feet out. The ball bounced off the side of the rim, all but securing the Warriors’ 117-112 loss to the Lakers on Tuesday night. And, no, Poole didn’t see Lakers head coach appearing to wave his hand in front of him as he took the shot.After his rough series against the Sacramento Kings, Poole’s gutsy 3-point attempt might’ve made Warriors fans groan. But a Poole with space and rhythm to...

Opinion: Will you need the latest COVID booster? It depends

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:22:47 GMT

As the Biden administration prepares for the federal COVID-19 public health emergency to end on May 11, the new normal is markedly better than the earlier phase of the pandemic in which we lost more than a million American lives. We’ve gone from the 2021 peak of an estimated 3,000 Americans dying daily from the infection to about 250 a day now. But this “normal” still includes more than 30,000 COVID-19 deaths since the beginning of 2023, and the virus remains a leading cause of fatality in the United States. This is not acceptable.We face confusing realities: The pandemic’s acute phase is over, but COVID remains a significant cause of death. New variants always loom. Any long-term approach to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 will require periodic boosters — yet as of March, fewer than 1 in 5 eligible Americans got the booster that was made available in September, suggesting that interest in the shots has dipped alongside the virus’ toll.The newest available mRNA vaccine is the bivale...
