Next Culture war target... The PANSEXUAL!!

Stop the presses!! Here's the new perversion sweeping the country!! Forget WOKE or LGBT or even the Cracker Barrel... this HAS TO BE STOPPED.

Pansexuality is the romantic, emotional, and/or sexual attraction to people regardless of their gender. Like everyone else, pansexual people may be attracted to some people and not others, but the gender of the person does not matter. People of any gender identity can and do identify as pansexual.

The $400M Investment Fund That Gives Athletes Cash ... Up Front (Myles Murphy Related)

Interesting article and even more interesting concept: https://open.substack.com/pub/huddl...nt-fund-that?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

I follow baseball pretty closely and I'll be the first to admit I'd never heard of this. Even more, I didn't realize superstars like Fernando Tatis or someone like Jazz Chisolm, and now, Elly De La Cruz, were clients.

I also didn't know Myles Murphy signed with them as well. Def. interesting to me

Cannarella & Gordon Invited To USA Collegiate National Team Training Camp

----

Release from Clemson this a.m:

CLEMSON, S.C. - Freshman outfielder Cam Cannarella (Hartsville, S.C.) and sophomore righthander Austin Gordon (Myrtle Beach, S.C.) were both invited to try out during the USA Collegiate National Team training camp, announced by USA Baseball.

Cannarella was named ACC Freshman-of-the-Year, as he hit .388 with seven homers, three triples, 16 doubles, 47 RBIs, 72 runs, a .560 slugging percentage, .462 on-base percentage and 24 steals in 59 games. The First-Team All-ACC selection and freshman All-American reached base via a hit or walk in 57 of his 59 games in 2023, and his 97 hits and 72 runs were the most by a Tiger since 2010. He led the ACC with a .408 batting average in ACC regular-season games as well.

Gordon was the workhorse of the Tiger staff in 2023, as he made a start during all 16 weekends. He had a 4.61 ERA, .243 opponents’ batting average and 76 strikeouts against only 22 walks in a team-high 84.0 innings pitched over 16 starts in 2023. In his two-year Clemson career, he has a 4.74 ERA, .239 opponents’ batting average and 107 strikeouts against 31 walks in 112.0 innings pitched over 33 appearances (16 starts).

A total of 16 Tigers have been members of the USA Collegiate National Team, including recent Tigers Brad Miller (2009,10), Chris Okey (2014,15), Seth Beer (2016,17), Ryley Gilliam (2017) and Caden Grice (2021).

The USA Baseball Collegiate National Team training camp features 56 of the premier non-draft eligible college players for a four-game Stars vs. Stripes intrasquad series in North Carolina from June 25-28. USA Baseball will name a final 26-man Collegiate National Team roster after training camp that will represent the United States in friendship series against Chinese Taipei and Japan from June 30 to July 12.

Clemson alumni email accounts are being deprecated

Alumni Google Accounts to Be Removed

This is going to be a long post, and regrettably, not a popular one. I am here to inform you Clemson has made the tough decision to eliminate alumni (and former employee) Google accounts. There are several reasons we made this decision, but the two biggest are:

1. **The new costs for Google**. As some of you may have seen or heard from other schools, Google has changed their pricing structure and done away with unlimited storage. Google is now charging for user licenses and storage space is primarily based on the number of licenses purchased. Clemson is currently using over 1.7 petabytes of storage in Google Workspace and based on the licenses we purchased, we will be limited to ~800 terabytes in July of next year.
2. **Email security and Clemson’s new email policy**. Over the past year we have seen a drastic increase in the number of phishing attempts and scams targeted at our students which is an even bigger concern than the new Google fees. We are taking several steps to improve our email security posture and proactively address these threats. One of those steps was to implement a new [email policy](https://clemsonpub.cfmnetwork.com/B.aspx?BookId=11100&PageId=456767) which also outlines the expiration of email privileges.

A. All employees will automatically have all email privileges revoked upon separation, and

B. Students who leave the University in good standing will have their email extended for a maximum of one year.

We realize this is a big change, especially for those of you who graduated years ago and have been using your g.clemson.edu account for many years. Therefore, we are trying to give you as much warning as possible to start transitioning your data and logins to other accounts.


**Timeline**

Starting tomorrow, June 14, 2023, we will send the first of many monthly warnings to ensure people are aware of the impending changes, ultimately resulting in the deletion of your account. Please see the ‘Actions to Take’ section below to start preparing as soon as possible.

On February 5th, 2024, we will implement a quota of 0GB on your account as a means of forcing action from anyone who has disregarded our warnings until that point. This means you will still be able to log into your account to export data via Google Takeout, but you will not receive email or be able to make changes to any of your files due to being over your storage quota. Recent graduates will be exempt from this preliminary step as they will still be within their one-year window, but your accounts will be deleted May 2024.

In May 2024, your account will be permanently suspended and deleted. Once this is done, CCIT will not be able to recover your email or data.

**Actions to Take**

To prepare for the removal of your account, these are the steps you should start taking:

* **Start Immediately**: Update any web logins to use a different email address. If this is not completed by the February quota implementation, you will not be able to complete it. Your logins may continue to work using your @g.clemson.edu address as the username, but should you need to reset your password or recover the account in the future, you will not be able to do so. Starting this process early will give you more time to identify remaining accounts and services that are still tied to your Clemson email address. Things to consider include accounts for online banking, loans, utilities, social media, online shopping, streaming services, smart devices, software/gaming platforms, and mobile app logins.
* Export any data you wish to keep.
* Start by deleting anything you don’t wish to keep, as that will reduce the time and size of your export(s).
* Utilize Google Takeout to download your Google data to be stored locally or uploaded to a different account. Google provides directions on how to download your data here: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/3024190?hl=en
* Let the Clemson Alumni Association know your preferred email address, so you can stay connected to all things Clemson. https://iamatiger.clemson.edu/contact-update

**What about current students, faculty, and staff?**

Nothing will be changing for current students, faculty, and staff in 2023. However, the following changes will be coming starting in 2024:

* Starting with new enrollees in Jan 2024, new students will be provisioned email accounts on the same platform as employees, Exchange Online. They will still receive Google accounts, but Gmail will be disabled.
* Existing students with Gmail accounts will be allowed to keep their Gmail accounts or given the option to move to Exchange Online if they wish. Over the next 4-5 years as students graduate, we will slowly transition all student email to Exchange
* Employees using Gmail will be prompted to decide how they want to handle the transition of their Gmail to Exchange Online.
* The end goal is to have everyone unified on a single email platform to simplify our email infrastructure and strengthen our email security stance.
* Storage quotas will be implemented on Google accounts. As previously mentioned, storage is no longer unlimited, and we want to avoid incurring additional costs.
* We plan to switch from using @g.clemson.edu to @clemson.edu for our Google Workspace domain to eliminate the endless confusion this causes.
* We plan to implement single sign-on (the standard orange and gray login screen) so there is no more need to maintain separate passwords.

*****THE CLEMSON DUBCAST: Nick Eason, Part 3

mihcftmvwqtmpju7iw3j


In March, Clemson assistant coach Nick Eason shared his life story in full for the first time when he sat down with Tigerillustrated.com for three-plus hours.

The six-part series was published in April and featured an almost breathtaking series of life struggles Eason has fought and overcome -- from overt racism as a high-schooler in his hometown of Lyons, Ga., to watching teammate and friend Brandon Rouse die of a heart attack at Clemson, to almost losing his own life when as a Pittsburgh Steeler he was hospitalized for weeks with complications from a ruptured appendix.

Over the last week we've presented Parts 1 and 2 of the conversation. Today we present the third and final part.

Nick Eason Part 3

And here are the previous two in case you missed them:

Nick Eason Part 2

Nick Eason Part 1

******Coming tomorrow

Recently we had an extended sit-down with Brad Brownell in his office to go in-depth on various topics including PJ Hall's return, the portal addition of Joe Girard, and much more.

He says Hall looks really good in practices.

"He’s just at another level. I’ve never seen him move better in terms of conditioning, bounce, or mobility, and he’s got a little swagger. You're just really happy when kids get to that point and get that confidence because that’s when they play really well.”

We'll roll out the interview in three parts Thursday through Saturday.

So look for Part 1 tomorrow!

NCAA Compliance Question

Before I get started, I’m fully aware the best step is to ask the athletic department directly, and I will do exactly that. I can’t do it at 6pm so I thought I’d throw the question out there….

My family hosts baseball players every summer for a Coastal Plains League team. My wife works in Human Resources for a local college and we just found out the team wants to send us a kid who just so happens to play for the same college where she works.

If we are providing room and board to a player of the college where my wife works, could this be considered an impermissible benefit?

Again, my wife will touch base with the AD in the morning, but with the wealth of knowledge and experience on this board, I thought it was worth throwing out there for the group. Thanks in advance.

Can't confirm they were UGA football players, but the odds are great.

If you’re traveling on I-75, law enforcement said to slow down or face a steep fine. In a 14-hour timeframe, 28 tickets were issued to drivers for driving over 100 mph.

According to Sycamore Police Chief William Ryder and Ashburn Police Chief Richard Purvis, so far this year, there has been a 60% increase in drivers with speeds of 100 mph and over and a 55% increase in drivers with speeds of 91 mph and higher.

Earlier this month, a 19-year-old traveling to Florida was clocked at 131 mph. He was later taken to jail for 45 days.
