Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne hinted at changes in how the Crimson Tide would handle their nonconference scheduling going forward after they were left out of the College Football Playoff . The College Football Playoff committee picked SMU over Alabama for the final at-large bid spot in this year’s college football postseason, which did not sit well with Byrne, who went to social media to vent his disappointment. “Disappointed with the outcome and felt we were one of the 12 best teams in the country. We had an extremely challenging schedule and recognize there were two games in particular that we did not perform as well as we should have,” he wrote in a lengthy statement on X. Byrne then suggested the committee’s decision would have an impact on how Alabama would schedule games, one of which he suggested would not be a good thing for the sport as a whole. “We have said that we would need to see how strength of schedule would be evaluated by the CFP,” he said. “With this outcome, we will need to [assess] how many P4 non-conference games make sense in the future to put us in the best position to participate in the CFP. That is not good for college football.” The decision not to include Alabama in the playoff means that they will take part in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Dec. 31 in Tampa against Michigan, which will provide a chance for the two schools for a rematch after last year’s Rose Bowl. Alabama finished 9-3 this year and had the 11th-best strength of record, per ESPN. SMU’s strength of record was 15th in the country. College Football Playoff committee chair Warde Manuel said during ESPN’s selection show that Alabama’s upset losses played a factor in their decision-making. “We looked at the number of wins Alabama had against ranked opponents,” Manuel said, according to Sports Illustrated. “We looked at SMU’s schedule, and they were undefeated in conference. Their losses were to ranked teams. We also looked at Alabama’s losses to unranked teams, and it was quite a debate.”None

Kendrick Lamar — rap’s undoubted MVP of 2024 — surprised fans on Friday (Nov. 22) with the release of his GNX album. The project seemingly dropped out of the sky without warning around 12 p.m. ET. Filled with 12 tracks, GNX boasts a pair of assists from former TDE running mate SZA , Sam Dew as well as emerging artists such as Deyra Barrera, Ink, Dody 6, AzChike and more. Kendrick was rumored to be cooking up an album in the wake of battling Drake , and the Compton native came through. GNX follows Lamar’s Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers in 2022, which topped the Billboard 200 with 295,000 total units earned in the first week. Sounwave notches co-production credits across the project while Jack Antonoff and Kamasi Washington also make appearances. Lamar dropped off a teaser before the album hit streaming services with the clip featuring what appears to be a 1987 Buick Grand National Regal GNX, which inspired the album title. With the Super Bowl on the horizon, K. Dot will have new music with him when he heads to New Orleans to take the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show stage in February. Even prior to the album’s arrival, Lamar notched seven Grammy Award nominations earlier this month — five of which came tied to his “Not Like Us” Drake diss. Check out the album and all of the 12 tracks ranked from worst to best below. Kenny weaves through the distorted bounce with a hazy flow with some help from Ink, Siete and Roddy Ricch. The West Coast tribute fails to break through like some of the other stronger tracks on the LP so it’s forced to blend in with the background. “Peekaboo” is a perfect descriptor aligning Lamar’s career. He only comes out of hiding on his own terms to shake up the game and then can go back into hibernation for months without anyone hearing a word, a social media post, a TMZ paparazzi photo or anything from him. As Charlamagne Tha God described him, K. Dot really is rap’s boogeyman or the rap version of WWE legend Undertaker. Was that Kendrick mimicking NBA star Kawhi Leonard’s viral “hey, hey, hey” clip? This guy can work just about anything into the flow of a song. Only Kendrick can turn irrelevant sayings like “Hey now, say now” into a menacing chorus. “The Black know I just strangled me a GOAT,” he raps in a possible jab at Drake following their battle. The pulsating reverb transitions to traditional Cali bounce and Kendrick opens the floor for an assist from emerging L.A. rapper Dody 6. In the midst of the Kendrick-Drake feud, a repeated take in an attempt to ding Lamar was that he rarely uplifted younger artists coming up from Los Angeles. It feels like he intentionally made that part of his story with GNX . Especially with the title track, he shouts about putting the “West Coast back in front of s–t.” Then he takes a back seat as if he’s iconic UCLA head coach John Wooden and allows Young Threat, Peysoh and Hitta J3 to run the three-man weave. “Gloria” serves as Kendrick’s version of Common’s memorable “I Used to Love H.E.R.” In what starts out as a love song, Lamar vulnerably opens up about the complications and toxicities of his relationship with what appears to be his fiancee Whitney. While she had other suitors on their journey, he also had commitment issues. However, the final line reveals K. Dot was talking about his love for his pen with references to writer’s block placating his enduring journey to the top of the food chain in this rap game. A second hat tip to Nas as Kendrick seemingly interpolates the Queensbridge icon’s 2002 “One Mic.” Lamar draws up a scenario of being at heaven’s gates seeking eternal life. He builds out a case about how his life’s practices have prepared him for this moment while powering through trials and tribulations. “I did it with integrity and n—-s still try to hate on me/ Just wait and see, more blood will be spillin, it’s just paint to me,” Kenny promises. A haunting intro sprinkled in with some Latin flavor courtesy of Deyra Berrara. Kendrick balances an ego boost coming off his dominant Drake victory and spewing his version of a State of the Union. All while riding in his GNX bumping Anita Baker. Dot grapples with his Lil Wayne fandom while taking what he hoped was his spot at the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show in Weezy’s hometown. He was baffled by the backlash and shouted out Nas for showing him love. There aren’t many direct references to his Drake feud, but Lamar lets his disappointment in Snoop be known after the Doggfather reposted Drizzy’s AI-assisted “Taylore Made Freestyle.” “I prayed it was the edibles/ I couldn’t believe it, it was only right for me to let it go,” he raps. An all-star lineup of Jack Antonoff, Sounwave, Cardo and Kamasi Washington are among the cast lending their talents to the luscious production of “Luther” — which builds around a sample of Luther Vandross and Cheryl Lynn’s “If This World Were Mind.” SZA joins the party for her and Kendrick’s fifth collaboration and their chemistry hasn’t taken a step back as they mix vocals with ease for a smooth blend of rapping and singing. K. Dot takes away the world’s darkness and reimagines a society without pain and suffering. Drake attempted to mock Kendrick’s “The Heart” series with his own installment in the decorated series that originated in 2010, but as Lamar made a habit of in their feud, Dot flipped the script to up the score with the real sixth addition on “Heart Pt. 6.” Sounwave and Jack Antonoff lay out an ethereal soundscape built around a soothing Neptune-produced SWV sample for Kendrick to reminisce on his humble beginnings surrounded by his TDE family members like Jay Rock and Ab-Soul. Lamar briefly allows his ego to creep in: “Time flies, I’m carryin’ debates of a top five,” he raps. But also takes accountability for his Black Hippy supergroup falling flat. “I jog my memory, knowin’ Black Hippy didn’t work ’cause of me/ Creatively, I moved on with new concepts in reach,” he candidly admits. It’s another worthy chapter in the books. Sampling Debbie Deb’s “When I Hear Music” banger makes this some of the most fun production across the entire project. Initially teased as a snippet tentatively titled “Broccoli” over the summer, fans were happy to hear the full track live up to the hype. “Squabble Up” gets the shoulders bobbing as Kendrick basks in his status as his most brash self. “Tell me why the fuck you n—s rap if it’s fictional/ Tell me why the fuck you n—s fed if you criminal,” he fires at the opposition. Kendrick yelling “MUSTARD” has to be the next little Kendrick-ism to go viral on social media. The meme possibilities are endless and the “Not Like Us” producer has to at least sample that in the future, right? The beat makes a stark transition from G-Funk to triumphant horns as Lamar lets society know how disgusted he is with where things are at. As we’ve seen on plenty of other tracks, Kenny has no issue letting his hate for certain pockets of culture fly. Songmaking at its finest. Kendrick’s versatility along with his vivid storytelling ability allow him to shine brightest on “Reincarnated,” which samples 2Pac’s “Made N—-z.” Lamar pays homage to the West Coast deity while mirroring an aggressive flow from Pac. He cinematically connects to the spirits of a 1940s guitarist (possibly John Lee Hooker or Jackie Wilson) and a ’60s singer on the Chitlin Circuit (Tammi Terrell or Dinah Washington) who struggled with substance abuse using 8-balls of cocaine as medicine. Dot then turns the camera lens on himself for the final poignant verse as he battles his demons while looking to rewrite the devil’s story.

Local school officials are in the thick of budget season. So when the N.H. Department of Education told school districts last month to expect significantly less state aid for special education costs than initially planned for this fiscal year, school officials statewide were thrown for a loop. And, some say, this will likely force them to ask taxpayers to cover the difference. “I was shocked, and saddened, and worried,” said Rich Popovic, chair of the Nelson School Board. The rural school district is part of N.H. School Administrative Unit 29 and, per state education department data, has 63 students in grades kindergarten through 5. “Even in a small town, one special education case can really sort of — if it’s unexpected, especially — it can throw the budget into a downward spiral,” Popovic said. On the other side of the Monadnock Region, the Hinsdale School District enrolls approximately 523 students, K-12. Hinsdale School Board Chair April Anderson said the shortfall will disproportionately affect small rural districts like Hinsdale because special education services are more expensive and harder to come by for students with higher needs in these areas. “The lack of available funding will mean our taxpayers will have to make up the difference, and as we know the state is already failing to fund an adequate education,” she said in a written statement Dec. 13. “In order to keep our budget affordable, we will need to find revenue in other ways, possibly through reductions of staff and services. This isn’t fair to anyone, especially our students.” The amount of money Nelson districts were approved to receive from the state versus what will actually be funded was not available by press deadline. The Hinsdale School district requested $205,000 for school year 2024-25, according to Board Chair April Anderson. The Keene School District was approved to get $884,219 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, out of $2,566,091.09 in approved expenses, according to SAU 29 Chief Financial Officer Tim Ruehr. “The $884,219.50 is not fully funded so we are expecting to receive 66.3893% or $587,027.64,” Ruehr wrote in an email Dec. 15. “This immediately down shifted $297,191.86 to local taxpayers above what they would normally be responsible to fund.” Keene Board of Education Chair George Downing said the board is having to adjust very late in the budgeting process this year because of the shortfall. “It’s going to be a challenge. It’s always a challenge, but more so this year,” he said. At the start of the 2023-24 school year, 32,019 New Hampshire students, or 19.45 percent, received special education services, according to data from the state education department. Special education services often cost more than general education because these services require support that’s tailored to specific student needs from specially trained staff, assistive technology and smaller class sizes. These costs can also include transportation to out-of-district placements if these services aren’t available in a student’s local district. School districts that don’t raise enough money through the statewide education property tax, known as SWEPT, receive adequacy aid. After that, districts are responsible for any additional costs for those students up to 31⁄2 times the current average cost per pupil, per a handout from the education department. Any per-student special education expenses above that threshold are expected to be reimbursed by the state at 80 percent. Expenses that are 10 times the average cost per pupil must be covered by the state entirely. Federal law mandates that districts provide appropriate education to all students regardless of their disability, even if it means incurring significant expense. Each state has a “catastrophic aid” fund to help offset those costs for their local districts. New Hampshire lawmakers appropriated $33.9 million to the state’s catastrophic aid fund for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, in the two-year budget passed in 2023. But the N.H. Department of Education said requests for special education aid had exceeded the legislative appropriation this year by $16 million. The state’s manual for special education aid notes that if in any year “the amount appropriated for distribution as special education aid exceeds the allocated amount, the district’s reimbursement shall be prorated.” The N.H. Department of Education said in a written statement Dec. 16 it took the proactive step of alerting school districts that the requests for special education aid had exceeded the legislative appropriation this year, but that it will work with the Legislature in the upcoming session to help ensure appropriate funding is provided to all districts. The state’s total appropriation for special education aid has remained relatively steady since 2021 — $33.3 million in 2021 and $33.9 million in 2024 — despite the number of eligible students and the cost of services rising year to year. The state Legislature set aside $22.3 million in 2017 and again in 2018 when districts were owed $32.5 million, according to the state Department of Education. However, in 2019, the Legislature raised that amount to $32.6 million. “Historically, these special education aid requests have exceeded the state appropriations until 2019 when Commissioner [Frank] Edelblut sought relief to address this important matter,” the department said in the statement. Even though these special education costs are included in New Hampshire’s adequate education funding formula, only 17.47 percent of special education expenditures in 2023 were paid by the state and federal governments, according to the N.H. School Funding Fairness Project, an advocacy group for equitable education funding in the state. This results in the majority of the bill being downshifted to local property taxpayers. Downing, chair of the Keene school board, said board members have been mindful of other burdens taxpayers are already facing, such as the ongoing housing crisis. “We’re trying to balance what our schools need to operate without overburdening the tax base in Keene,” he said. Roughly 55 percent of the Keene School District’s budget each year comes from state and federal funds, according to Downing, with the remainder from taxes and tuition payments from sending towns. “But if you’re in a really small town, like Westmoreland or Marlow, one more student needing [special education] services can have a big impact on the budget,” Downing said. Information about how the shortfall will affect budgets in those two districts was not available. The Sentinel also reached out to the Monadnock Regional School District for comment but did not receive information prior to publication. Popovic has been on the Nelson School Board for roughly 10 years, joining when his daughter entered kindergarten. He said the school board will “do our best” to work with the shortfall, but he noted other small districts in the state might have to have difficult conversations about cutting staff or even considering closing schools. “If more of the burden goes to taxpayers, they have to consider that,” he said. “... You have scores of dedicated teachers and administrators just trying to make it work, and yet somehow they’re becoming the problem. And they’re not.” The budget creation process is still ongoing for Keene, Downing noted, so until he sees the proposed numbers he’s unsure if there’ll be any drastic measures considered to cut costs. “I feel good about our general budget process,” he said. “We’re pretty good about not asking for more than what we need. ... but with any loss of funding from the state, we do have to consider that it may very well impact our local taxpayers.” Both he and Popovic said local involvement is crucial, even if someone doesn’t have children in local schools. “If you’re really concerned about the tax burden from education, look at who you’re voting into power and see if they support public education in a realistic and wholehearted way,” Popovic said. “These are real financial impacts on everyone.”SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. — A late rally wasn’t enough as the Skidmore College Thoroughbreds (5-3-0) men’s hockey team fell to the Lake Forest College Foresters (3-5-1), 5-4, Saturday afternoon at the Saratoga City Rink, in the opening game of the Skidmore Thanksgiving Invitational.

DALLAS — This article was originally published by our content partners at the Dallas Business Journal. You can read the original article here . AT&T and Toyota are among the donors to President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration, which is expected to break fundraising records. That's according to the Wall Street Journal , which analyzed political donation disclosures to highlight giving by companies after a widespread slowdown in political donations in the wake of the Jan. 6, 2021 unrest at the U.S. Capitol. Toyota, which has its North American headquarters in Plano, has reportedly donated $1 million to the inauguration, while Dallas-based AT&T was described as a major donor alongside companies such as Goldman Sachs and Bank of America . In some ways, it's a return to form: large corporations typically donate to both political parties to maintain a good standing with top policymakers. Both AT&T and Toyota said as much in statements to Dallas Business Journal. Here was AT&T: "AT&T is contributing to the 2025 inaugural celebration as we have done for every inauguration for more than three decades regardless of which party won the White House. We invest and prepare our network extensively for events like these. All such contributions are made public." And here was what Toyota said: "The inauguration of a new president is a time-honored tradition in the U.S. Like many other companies, Toyota Motor North America is pleased to support the inauguration ceremony, reflecting our deep and growing U.S. presence.” The Wall Street Journal's analysis was focused on the fact that many companies had paused donations or changed their approach to political giving after the chaos at the Capitol. In that way, the donations could be seen as a return to form for corporate America, one that signals hope for a more harmonious relationship between the second Trump administration and big businesses. Those organizing the January inauguration expect to raise more than the $107 million collected for Trump's last inauguration, according to the WSJ. The paper identified 13 companies that have given $1 million or more, which is pacing to beat the 18 donations of $1 million or more for the 2017 inauguration fund.

It’s hard to wake up in America and read the words “Hunter Biden” in the news. On days like this, if you listen closely, you can hear the frustrated pangs of millions, crying, “God, who gives a shit?” to the heavens. Sadly, those looking to play “ utterly ineffective hypocrisy finder but for Democrats” live for this. On tonight’s The Daily Show , America’s favorite hypocrisy finder, Jon Stewart, also waded into the Hunter Biden pardon, had a flip-flop field day, and actually found a helpful takeaway. It didn’t start so well. Stewart nearly lost his audience as he transitioned from dunking on Kash Patel , Trump’s nominee for head of the FBI, to needling President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his beloved son, Hunter. The Daily Show audience doesn’t want to hear about the guy leaving the White House. He’s the guy that got us into this mess. However, it was Biden and the Democrat’s love affair with “the rule of law” and not Biden’s love for his children that stuck in Stewart’s craw. Well, that and the pardon’s specificity. Why does Hunter need a pardon going back 11 years for crimes he may or may not have committed? That’s a question for conspiracy theorists, and we’ll definitely be hearing about it in the not-so-distant future. Because Biden had spent the last few months telling people he wasn’t going to pardon his son, he opened himself up to the very criticisms the President and his party typically lob at Republicans. Why is Hunter getting a pardon and not “the J-6 hostages,” as the President-elect asked on his own publicly traded social media website? Well, it’s a question Stewart was interested in exploring. Not the “Why does our next president own a social media website” question, but rather, why do the Democrats lean on concepts like “the rule of law” as if they’ll never bend that rule? The Biden presidency has been filled with hypocrisy, creating a “purity test” that Democrats can’t live up to and leading to mealy-mouthed defenses and justifications. Biden would make concessions for Saudi Arabia and the Southern border while also campaigning against Trump for doing the same thing. While that’s nothing new in politics, Stewart is urging, once again, for the Democrats to start exploiting loopholes that would help people outside of the family. “Rules, loopholes, and norms,” Stewart said, echoing a monologue from a few weeks ago. “The distance between the systems Democrats say they are revering and the one that they’re using when they need to is why people think it’s rigged. Use the rules, use the loopholes, fuck the norms. But also use it to help people. Not just those related to you.”Friend of Quebec man killed in Florida boat explosion says his sister also injuredGhana defender, Ebenezer Annan, continued his impressive form in the Serbian Super League on Monday, assisting a late equaliser to help OFK Beograd secure a 2-2 draw against TSC. Annan, a Black Stars international, earned a starting spot in the matchday squad and played the entire 90 minutes, showcasing his defensive prowess and ability to contribute offensively. His crucial assist in the dying moments of the game ensured his team avoided defeat. TSC started strongly, taking the lead in the 7th minute through Ivan Milosavljevic, who was set up by Milan Radin. Despite falling behind early, OFK Beograd fought back and levelled the score in the 34th minute through Nikola Knezevic. The second half saw TSC regain their lead with a 55th-minute strike from Milos Pantovic. However, OFK Beograd remained resilient. In the 87th minute, Ebenezer Annan provided a precise assist for Aleksa Cvetkovic, who calmly converted to restore parity. Annan’s performance underscores his value to OFK Beograd, where he has now tallied four assists in 19 appearances this season. His ability to impact both ends of the pitch continues to earn him plaudits as one of the team’s standout players. .
