You're a good friend, who is grieving. Be kind to yourself. It's not your fault or his. It's an insidious disease. But if you visit your friend, you can tell him you love him, you forgive him, and ask his forgiveness. A comforting touch can speak louder than words.
Many viruses, including those that cause the common cold (adenoviruses) and COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2 virus), are linked to myocarditis and other forms of heart disease. Given the enormous number of people who've had COVID-19 in the past three years, it isn't surprising that more cases of heart disease are being reported among athletes.
I hope this young athlete will have a smooth recovery. He got AED defibrillation and supportive care quickly and was taken one of the nation's best hospitals for treating medical emergencies, so he has a fighting chance.
Having COVID-19 increases the rate of myocarditis in athletes, which may not be diagnosed without magnetic resonance imaging. Since myocarditis increases the risk of cardiac arrhythmias, I wonder if having had COVID-19 increases the risk of commotio cordis.

The University of California is one University with 10 campuses including Cal and UCLA. Losing the Los Angeles media market is (reasonably) expected to reduce the PAC's media contract. Cal funds all student athletes from its share of the PAC's revenues. The Board of Regents is requiring UCLA's annual payment to offset the expected loss of funds for student athletes on another UC campus.
I've been told that the University of California's Board of Regents voted 11-5 to approve UCLA's move to the Big Ten, but stipulated absolute conditions. UCLA will have to increase its expected annual support of resources for all student-athletes by $11- $12 million including funds to address travel, academic support, mental health services, nutrition and other areas surrounding the conference move. UCLA is also expected to provide an annual subsidy to the University of California, Berkeley in the range of $2 million to $10 million (depending on the amount of the Pac-12 media deal) to "enhance student-athlete support on that campus."
Not directly about paying Jim Harbaugh, but with Biff Poggi moving on to be a head coach, how about Mike Hart for Assistant Head Coach? And has Jay Harbaugh worked with wide receivers, yet?
The University of California is one university with one Board of Regents, one President, ten campuses, and other locations including three national laboratories. Arguably, it has greater breadth and depth than Michigan. https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/campuses-locations
Based on actual Broadway casting, Michigan has the nation's best Musical Theatre department. It certainly helps to have Interlochen as a feeder school and topnotch departments in other creative arts.

I agree. Fwiw, I believe in a growth mindset (the term Stanford prof. Carol Dweck used in contrast to fixed beliefs). Kids need to be sufficiently challenged in school to develop the attitude and self-confidence that they can fail, because some things are hard, but if they keep struggling and learning how to improve, they can get better. They also need to succeed often enough that their effort is intermittently rewarded.
Why have a championship game? Why not have a 13 game B1G season. The only reason for divisions was $$ for an extra game. If all 14 teams play 13 games, that's more $$.
Thanks for posting your excellent personal essay. Fans tend to have a mindset that's fixed on their own emotional reward. Winning feels exhilarating; losing feels bad. But sports participation isn't a zero sum game. Winning feels good in the moment, but losing is a growth opportunity—a chance to get better. Furthermore, win or lose, you get to start the next game with a blank slate.
Andy Schwartz, an antitrust economist with a specialty in sports economics especially college football and basketball, has a new board game on kickstarter that's based on the underground economy of recruiting. It's at a funding stage where it's funded, but sponsors can help shape it. I don't know Andy personally, but he was involved in the NIL lawsuit, and maybe some of you do.
Envelopes of Cash: The College Football Recruiting Game is a Euro-style board game where players use impermissible payments to recruit elite college football athletes. "Boardgaming has never felt so shady."
About thirty years ago, the New York Rangers hired a woman who'd never played hockey to coach skating. There were the usual sort of derisory comments about no qualifications, but she could see things pro players were doing wrong and teach them how to become more efficient and powerful skaters. So, I asked myself, what does a D1 basketball guard know about passing the ball? Can she read defenses? Does she know how to spot the closely-guarded teammate most likely to get open? Does she have the balance and footwork to move herself into position for a clear passing lane? Does she know how to avoid pass interceptions? Can she see problems with mechanics and know how to correct them? Is she a good teacher and communicator with a growth mindset who is passionate about learning and improving?
Good practical definition, but 5 hard strides may be too many. The rule is no more than 2 quick/hard steps -- not always enforced -- but the rule's there to limit the bodychecker's acceleration.

Make it a PE fitness requirement. Done right, it's a workout. The Buffalo Bills trainer, Denny Kellington, was fit and did it right.

Taunting is childish. Coach Harbaugh talks about transforming "boys into [good] men and [good] men into [great] competitors." We'll see.

UCLA has more academic cachet than most of the universities on that list, and USC is ranked higher than one or two.
