Well Mike Lombardi retained attorney Tom Mars and I'm guessing they are considering this far from closed. This may be just the first shots in the battle. Don't think this is just a Tar Heel matter either - this may be a canary in the coal mine battle for the control of the university itself. The sports programs or the university bureaucrats?

The nation's GDP grew at 5.1% and the economy is strong and the average American family is making more than ever. But because of high interest rates and inflation Americans feel they are paying way too much in mortgage or rent payments and the gas price at the pump continues to be an issue. The Republicans may be facing a surprising answer to the question - are you better off than you were 4-years ago? Things need to change.

Antifragile
"Authors, artists, and even philosophers are much better off having a vey small number of fanatics behind them than a large number of people who appreciate their work. The number of people who dislike the work don't count - there is no such thing as the opposite of not buying your book, or the equivalent of losing points in a soccer game, and this absence of negative domain for book sales provides the author with a measure of optionality."
This sounds a lot like Kevin Kelly's One Thousand True Fans. Not inferring one copying the other only that when multiple people tell you something is true - follow their advice!

Antifragile
"With personal risk, you can easily barbell yourself by removing the chances of ruin in any area. I am personally completely paranoid about certain risks, then really aggressive with others. The rules are: no smoking, no sugar (particularly fructose), no motorcycles, no bicycles in town or more generally outside a traffic free area such as the Sahara desert, no mixing with the Eastern European mafia, and no getting on a plane not flown by a professional pilot (unless there is a co-pilot). Outside of these I can take all manner of professional and personal risks, particularly those in which there is no risk of terminal injury...
So take for now that a barbell strategy with respect to randomness results in achieving antifragility thanks to the mitigation of fragility, the clipping of downside risks of harm - reduced pain from adverse events, while keeping the benefits of potential gains."
You'll have to read the book to understand the barbell strategy. Not bad life advice.

Today is cut down day in the NFL so don't be surprised to see a flurry of mostly 7th round draft picks traded for players as teams think "Better to get something in return for a player than nothing when he's cut." Don't get too excited by these trades as they're done mostly to build either depth or the practice squad.

Today is the anniversary of the "red phone" which was installed in the White House and the Kremlin to enable better communication between the two nations in wake of the Cuban missile crisis.

The Election of 1824
John Quincy Adams was elected, thirteen states to eleven. Adams had picked up all six states that had not been initially committed and became the first minority president in the nation's history.
...When Adams did appoint Clay to the state department, Jackson's supporters were predictably furious. John Randolph called it a corrupt bargain: 'the combination of the puritan with the blackleg.' Clay challenged Randolph to a duel. Both fired at each other, and fortunately both missed. Such was the presidential transition of 1825." - John Marshall: Definer of a Nation

However, if you don't understand how a subject truly works just gives you at best a surface knowledge which in Taleb's words would probably make you fragile.
