Cracking The Cartel
newrepublic.com
Money is a blight on college sports. We must remove it from the equation and leave the good things: sports and schools. Don't pay NCAA football and basketball players.
AND MEET HIS DAD, MIKE ROTCH
Finally, We Can Put A Face To Deez Nuts
digg.com

The Super Bowl Of Elementary School Chess
narrative.ly
Two thousand high-achieving students. Hordes of proud parents, anxious coaches, and one scrappy underdog team from Harlem. Screaming. Crying. Chess.
