Will it impact all Power Five schools? — @TerryTerry79 Impossible to know, but we can take our best guess … If forced by law to pay athletes for services rendered , Stanford, Cal and possibly UCLA will give serious thought to removing themselves from the major college football scene. Influential voices on each campus are already opposed to the current state of play — or should we say, pay-for-play.

Representative image. While claiming that “drone technology poses a significant threat to governments…”, the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Home Affairs urged the Ministry of Home Affairs to create a pool of anti-drone technology and let all States and Union Territories access it. The committee also sought and received information from several States, including West Bengal and Punjab, regarding the steps taken to deal with drone attacks. These recommendations and inquiries are part of the committee's 237th report on Police — Training, Modernisation and Reforms, released in February 2022. They come at a time when the Indian government has been trying to give the sector a boost through its Drone Rules – 2021, and the more recent PLI Scheme for Drones . In addition, there has also been a growing impetus for the use of drones in varied industries, including agriculture and health (medicine delivery). “The Committee... recommends that the MHA may take up with concerned … [Read more...] about Parliamentary panel terms drone ‘misuse’ a significant threat, asks MHA to create anti-drone tech

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline The U.S. Soccer Federation has reached new historic collective bargaining agreements to ensure equal pay and prize money for its men’s and women’s national teams, it said Wednesday morning, following a years-long battle fought by the four-time World Cup-champion women’s national team to guarantee equal compensation. Key Facts The two collective bargaining agreements—which last through 2028—include identical pay for all international soccer competitions, including the FIFA World Cup. U.S. Soccer will become the first national governing body to ensure equal prize money from FIFA by pooling prize funds and splitting them equally among the men and women’s national teams beginning with the 2022 Men’s tournament and the 2023 Women’s World Cup. Men’s and women’s national team players will also earn identical game bonuses, the federation said.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline Fourteen Senate Democrats sent letters Tuesday to two data brokers demanding information about data they’ve distributed related to abortion clinic visits, as the prospect that the Supreme Court could soon overturn Roe v. Wade has sparked new concerns about how patients’ digital data could be used against them to enforce abortion bans. Key Facts The senators, led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), sent letters to SafeGraph and Placer.ai , following Vice reports that found SafeGraph sold location data of people who visited Planned Parenthood clinics and Placer.ai offered “heat maps” on its website showing where Planned Parenthood patients live. Calling the reports “appalling,” the lawmakers asked the companies to “immediately account for [their] problematic practices … and guarantee that [they] will eliminate these practices, and others like them, completely and permanently.” The lawmakers … [Read more...] about Senate Democrats Demand Answers About Tech Companies Sharing Data From People Who Get Abortions

Commentary on Pac-12 developments on and off the field … Rising: ASU’s outlook Were offseason rosters moves tallied on a scoreboard, the Sun Devils were losing 70-7 in the fourth quarter. But they mustered a rally last week when the transfer portal produced a quarterback who just might alter the 2022 trajectory. Emory Jones won’t be mistaken for a future first-round pick — his performance last season at Florida was decidedly uneven. But Jones instantly improves the overall state of ASU’s quarterback depth and should be considered the frontrunner for the starting job over inexperienced returnees Daylin McLemore and Trenton Bourguet and transfer Paul Tyson, who threw a handful of passes for Alabama. Jones owns more than 400 career attempts and faced some of the best defenses in the country during his Gator career. ASU lost its top playmakers and key offensive linemen. If forced to play a rookie quarterback, the situation would have been deeply dire. With Jones running … [Read more...] about Pac-12 stock report: ASU’s transfer help, Grand Canyon talent and a lack of QB clarity

The most controversial, frustrating and infuriating penalty in college football will remain in place for the foreseeable future, and the industry has the Pac-12 to thank for it — seriously. Someone had to collect the data, draw the conclusions and lend legitimacy to the one penalty — targeting — that might help save the sport. Because you know what’s worse than the targeting penalty? Concussions, chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and the long-term impact of serious brain injury. And you know what’s bad for the health of college football? The stigma of head trauma, uncaring coaches and administrators, and dwindling participation numbers, especially on the West Coast. The targeting penalty — in both college and the NFL — was designed to reduce blows to the head, thereby limiting instances of concussions and making the sport safer. Has it worked? A multi-year Pac-12 study set out to determine if targeting plays “are higher risk for concussion than other plays in … [Read more...] about Important Pac-12 study connects frequency of concussions to controversial targeting penalty
