…In a summer of upheaval for col- lege football, yet another development threatens to fundamentally change the structure of the sport. The Big Ten, Pac-12 and ACC announced Tuesday that they are join- ing forces in an inter-conference “alli- ance,” intended to both counter the SEC’s expansion into a 16-team super- conference and reinforce “shared val- ues” among the three conferences. “I think we have to keep in mind what brought us...…

…Stepping up on the block, I wait for the whistle that commands my body to get in a diving position. Next to the five other swimmers lined up on the blocks, I curl my toes and squeeze my hands on the edge of the block when I hear the second whistle. Go. I push off in a horizontal dive into the water and immedi- ately start dolphin kicking to the surface. As my head comes out of the water, I re- alize something is missing: my swim c...…

The “check engine” light on the dashboard of my old car kept me company, a constant presence lingering in the corner of my vision.

The COVID-19 pandemic has complicated social pressures from friends, tensions with ro...…
