Indiana University’s (IU), first outright Big 10 football title was 1945, 9-0-1 overall, 5-0-1 conference play. Because the Big 10 had a ban for postseason play that year IU did not play in a bowl game. In 1967 there was a 3 way tie between IU, Purdue, and Minnesota for the Big 10 title, IU got the Rose Bowl nod. IU lost to USC.
In this short piece worth listening to about IU winning its only second outright Big 10 title and going undefeated, 13-0, A. Martinez speculates the even though his fellow Morning Edition co-host, Steve Inskeep who did not attend IU that as a Hoosier, he may be rooting for IU in this Rose Bowl.

He also emphasized the need for compassion for all parties involved in the debate.
Molly Sprayregen at LGBTQ Nation:
Out former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg weighed in on Democratic infighting around the issue of trans athletes, emphasizing the need for the conversation to be eradicated from political discourse and returned to schools and athletic associations.
On NPR’s Morning Edition, host Steve Inskeep asked Buttigieg what his “approach” is to trans issues after Democratic politico and former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel admitted to conservative media that he holds anti-trans views. With the admission, Emanuel became part of a growing number of Democrats who are abandoning trans rights, with many believing supporting this tiny marginalized community lost the party both Congress and the presidency.
“The approach starts with compassion,” Buttigieg responded. “Compassion for transgender people, compassion for families, especially of young people who are going through this, and also empathy for people who are not sure what all of this means for them.”
He said it’s essential to try to understand the perspective of parents who are worried about their children playing on sports teams with “boys” and that doing so “does call into question some of the past orthodoxies in my party.”
In sports, he said, “most reasonable people would recognize that there are serious fairness issues if you just treat this as not mattering when a trans athlete wants to compete in women’s sports.”
Asked if a parent who is worried about trans athletes “has a case,” Buttigieg responded, “Sure.”
“And that’s why I think these decisions should be in the hands of sports leagues and school boards and not politicians,” he explained, “least of all politicians in Washington trying to use this as a political pawn.”
“I think that chess is different from weightlifting, and weightlifting is different from volleyball, and middle school is different from the Olympics,” he added. “So that’s exactly why I think that we shouldn’t be grandstanding on this as politicians. We should be empowering communities and organizations, and schools to make the right decisions.”
Buttigieg’s approach seems to echo that of trans Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE), who recently spoke on Ezra Klein’s podcast about a need for the trans movement to rethink its approach to changing people’s minds. She posited that progressives could be expecting too much too quickly from Americans who are just not there yet.
“We’re not in this position because of the movement or the community, but clearly what we’ve been doing over the last several years has not been working to stave it off or continue the progress that we were making eight, nine, 10 years ago.”
“We became absolutist — not just on trans rights but across the progressive movement — and we forgot that in a democracy we have to grapple with where the public authentically is and actually engage with it,” she said.
Potential 2028 Democratic Presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg went on NPR’s Morning Edition this past Monday, and during his interview, Buttigieg correctly states that sports leagues and school boards should be the ones setting parameters on whether trans people can play in sports matching their gender identity.
Buttigieg, however, also pushed anti-trans red herrings about “fairness in sports” concerns.

NPR's Steve Inskeep speaks with Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., about how Democrats are addressing President Trump's agenda.
She made a hugely important assertion. Kicking people off Medicaid will cause more uninsured emergency room visits, which will cause hospitals to recoup that from insured people. That will raise the premiums for the insured.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is in New York for the U.N. General Assembly. He spoke with NPR's Steve Inskeep about why U.S. aid t
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy pointed out that Americans and Ukrainians have the same values during an interview at NPR.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is requesting continued support from the U.S. amid Russia's ongoing war and growing Republican opposition.
Zelenskyy spoke to Morning Edition's Steve Inskeep in New York on Wednesday, ahead of his participation in a special meeting of the United Nations Security Council.
"We have the same values — freedom and democracy — and that is why we are fighting against Russia," Zelenskyy said, speaking English.
He diplomatically omitted mention of the MAGA crowd and the Putin Caucus whose values are much closer to the totalitarian dictatorship in the Kremlin.
President Zelenskyy is headed to Washington.
Zelenskyy plans to travel to Washington, D.C. on Thursday to meet with Biden and members of Congress.
Putin Caucus members mostly boycotted his address to Congress last year. This year House Republicans are involved in an endless series of squabbles and hissy fits.
Democrats may have to prop up Kevin McCarthy to restore some degree of order in the House and get a budget passed. McCarthy was forced to make concessions to the Freedom Caucus to get elected Speaker in the first place but he may have to make different concessions to Democrats to remain speaker. One concession Democrats could extract from him is continuing support for Ukraine. The Democrats certainly would not prop up McCarthy out of sheer kindness.
