Over under on the constitutional crisis we are barreling toward?...

When the administration elects to transition from lawless and unconstitutional acts to open defiance of court orders? I say 2-3 weeks max. I hope if it comes to that Vance takes the fall since he is openly advocating for it.

A federal judge said Monday that the Trump administration has been violating a court order to disburse grant funding and hinted at possible penalties.
In January, the White House issued an order appearing to halt all federal grant spending. That order was rescinded amid a political backlash, and a federal court blocked a broader funding aid freeze, too.

But several Democratic state attorneys general have maintained that the Trump administration has continued to withhold funds anyway. In a five-page ruling Monday, U.S. District Judge John McConnell said the administration’s ongoing pauses to federal funding violate the “plain text” of the restraining order.
McConnell cited a freeze on funding for the National Institutes of Health as an example of a potential violation of his order.
The judge also cited a 1975 ruling that found that those who refuse to obey court orders “risk criminal contempt.”

Wow! Just watched a segment on Next Round Live…

BIG CHANGES headed to college football as we know it….and the SEC & Big Ten will define it.

The two conferences have been given control to define the playoff expansion beginning in 2026 (14 to 16 teams) and to develop future schedules that will include competition during the season between SEC and Big 10 teams.

Both conferences will go to 9 game conference schedukes as well.

It looks like it will definitely wind up being a 16 team playoff instead of a 14 team playoff because there is no new TV money for a 14 team playoff…..but there will be HUGE NEW TV money for a 16 team playoff…..and more money to distribute to playoff teams.

A 16 team playoff would see a 4 team Big 10, four team SEC, 2 team ACC, 2 team Big 12, and 4 team reserve for “the rest” of college football (Group of 5 and others)

Thought I’d hate this…..but I love it

See….at my extended age I don’t hate all changes.

BTW, I think this will wind up being good for Auburn if Hugh Freeze continues to recruit like he has and finds a dominant QB.

None of this is final yet but the summer meeting is just 4-5 months away. It will be finalized at that meeting.

Changes won’t take place until the 2026 season as the 12 team playoff will be the playiff again in 2025.

HOOPS Bruce Pearl quick notes (post-Florida)

We are set to speak with Bruce Pearl following Auburn's 90-81 loss to Florida.

Follow along and refresh for all updates.

*** Starts off by congratulating Florida on a great victory and great game plan. Down Martin, they really rallied. Clayton was tremendous. Game plan was to get it out of his hands but after first few possessions you couldn't tell that was the game plan.

*** BP says he knew this team was due for a let down. He doesn't think he got his team to understand how big this game was for Florida. They came in knowing they had to win it and they played that way.

*** "We didn't look like the No. 1 team in the country. We didn't act like the No. 1 team in the country."

*** On their ability to share the basketball: They did a great job throwing it out of the ball screen. We had a game plan that we thought was going to be effective and it wasn't.

*** Their bench really stepped up for them.

*** On Denver Jones tough night: I think there was a little fatigue with him because he had been terrific.

*** Don't forget this team had us down 25 last year at Florida.

*** On responding to adversity after the loss: "We will see tomorrow at 2 o'clock."

*** Says keeping the ball from Clayton required multiple effort and they didn't give it.

That's all for BP.

Crazy stat about AU basketball........

With four Super Seniors and one regular senior, the average age of Auburn's starting five (23.2) is almost identical to that of the Western Conference-leading Oklahoma City Thunder (24.1). Seven of the nine players averaging over 10 minutes per game for No. 1 Auburn are seniors (or super seniors).
This is two more than the combined total of No. 2 Florida and No. 3 Duke in their rotations‌.
