New Arkansas Rug

Found a rug online for my office on some sketchy Chinese site I've never heard of, ordered it, and didn't receive any confirmation for about 3 weeks and totally forgot about it.

Door rang today and I had a package from China. Figured I was gonna get scammed but it turned out to be real.

Gotta work out the wrinkles but I'm pretty happy with it.

Baseball UPDATES: MLB Draft - Day 2 (Picks 38-160)

Day 2 of the MLB Draft, which consists of the final 123 picks from Rounds 2-5, begins at 4 p.m. CT and will be televised on ESPN2 and the MLB Network. Everyone buckle in for six hours of picks.

I still expect Casey Martin and Casey Opitz to both get drafted. If you want a breakdown of which signees who could go pro and which could make it to campus, click here.

Masyn Winn and David Calabrese are still the guys I definitely expect to get drafted. Tink Hence could be interesting, but I still bet he gets drafted and signs pro. The other name to emerge recently is Jaxon Wiggins.

Jeff Long Thread? Yup. A Jeff Long Thread.

Hearing from some KU folks that ol’ Jeffypoo is squirming in his seat these days.

Things are a little tense with the NCAA alleging serious allegations, but Jeff is knee deep in depositions for not paying a $3mm buyout to David Beaty.

Prevailing thought is he’ll try to force a shake up on the basketball staff as a sacrificial lamb (which would eventually cost him his job), or accept some sort of resignation package to make all the Beaty stuff go away.

Either way, any good will he had left is long gone.

Football NCAA committee passes start date recommendation

From Rivals affiliate Yahoo Sports' Pete Thamel:

The return of college football season officially took a giant step forward on Thursday.

The NCAA Football Oversight Committee passed a recommendation that coaches can begin formally working with their teams on July 13, sources told Yahoo Sports. The committee essentially laid out the practice guidelines to allow players to return safely prior to the traditional four-week football training camp.

The committee’s recommendation still needs to be approved by the NCAA Division I Council, but that step is expected to be a formality. The NCAA Division I Council meets next week and will vote on this on June 17.

Here’s the schedule as laid out by the Football Oversight Committee. Schools can begin to have access to their players on July 13, which would include strength workouts and coaches engaging in film study with their players. (It would be a week earlier for teams involved in Week 0, as they’ve been told they can start July 6.) According to the language discussed on the football oversight call, summer access “may begin 25 calendar days prior to the first permissible preseason practice date.”

Those eight-hour weeks would transition to a pair of 20-hour weeks on July 24, which have been added in part as a safety measure to help get players physically prepared for the season. These have been discussed by the group as being comparable to NFL OTAs, as they’d include walkthroughs and a ball.

This would lead to the training camp starting date on Aug. 7.

The NCAA granted schools the ability to hold so-called voluntary workouts with their players on June 1. This came after the NCAA lifted the moratorium on athletic activities.
