Now on to sports.
The NCAA Board of Governors has voted to accept settlement terms in the House First, NCAA,
anti-trust cases, joining the Big 12, ACC and Big Ten conferences in moving towards
a historic shift in college sports.
The settlement involves over $2.7 billion in back damages for former athletes and a
new revenue sharing system, allowing schools to pay athletes approximately $20 million
annually starting in 2025.
This decision marks a significant move away from the traditional model of unpaid immaturism,
potentially avoiding over $4 billion in trial damages.

Let's talk tech.
Elon Musk's social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, will soon remove public
likes from users' profiles.
Announced by Exis Director of Engineering, Haofei Wang, this change aims to make likes
private, preventing users from seeing which posts others have liked.
The number of likes on posts will still be visible, but users won't be able to browse
others' liked content.
This move is intended to encourage more genuine engagement by removing the fear of backlash
for liking controversial posts.
The change is expected to improve the platform's content recommendation algorithm.
And in entertainment news, Marvel is set to resurrect Vision in a new Disney Plus series,
with Paul Bettany reprising his role and Terry Matalas as showrunner.
The series, slated for a 2026 premiere, follows Vision's storyline from One Division, where
his physical body was revived with restored memories.
This will be Marvel's second spinoff from One Division, following Agatha all along,
starring Catherine Hahn premiering in September.
Other upcoming Marvel series include Daredevil Born Again, Ironheart, Eyes of Wakanda, Your
Friendly Neighborhood's Spider-Man, and New-R, starring Nicolas Cage on Amazon Prime video.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from Irish novelist Samuel Beckett.
He said,
Ever tried, ever failed, no matter.
Try again, fail again.
Fail better.
And that's a wrap for this morning.
