TUESDAYS WITH TERRY: Protect College Sports Act, PHD’s & City College Bachelor Degrees Sep 30, 2026

Show notes

The Wall Street Journal reports that the proposed Protect College Sports Act is a federal effort to create nationwide rules for college athletics as schools, athletes, conferences, and lawmakers grapple with the rapidly changing world of NIL (name, image, and likeness) compensation and athlete payments.

The growing shortage of academic jobs for Ph.D. graduates is not just a crisis, but a sign that higher education is producing more doctorates than the academic job market can absorb. For years universities have trained large numbers of Ph.D. students even as the number of tenure-track professorships has stagnated or declined. As a result, many graduates face temporary positions, lower-paying jobs, or careers outside academia.

A pair of new California laws will allow the California Community Colleges system to offer up to 12 new bachelor's degree programs each year, expanding beyond the limited number previously allowed. The goal is to help fill workforce shortages in high-demand fields where four-year degree programs may be limited or unavailable.

JUSTICE DEPARTMENT: Election Denier Kurt Olsen Resigned from DOJ Sep 29, 2026

Show notes

The BBC story covered a Walmart patent for an internet-connected shopping trolley capable of tracking items, displaying information, and potentially simplifying checkout. It was an example of how major retailers were experimenting with smart-store technology, although a patent filing alone did not guarantee the system would ultimately be deployed in stores.

Kurt Olsen, a prominent figure in efforts to challenge the 2020 election results, has resigned from the Justice Department. He had been working in the Southern District of Florida on a high-profile investigation targeting Obama- and Biden-era officials, a probe that has not yet resulted in charges. His departure follows other personnel changes on the same investigative team.
