The message is short—THANK YOU. A lot of y’all have renewed your subscriptions for the upcoming season, and it means the world to me. The newsletter exists because of you. In the last week, I’ve been able to contribute hundreds to mutual aid and community organizations in Lahaina—and I’ll donate more as it comes in. That feels really good.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. This newsletter is a labor of love. College basketball isn’t exactly the biggest sport on the planet, and I am bad at marketing. Since I began in the newsletter in 2019, I’ve been able to contribute around $20k—all of it subscription revenue + some matches—to causes supporting the environment, animals, racial justice and mutual aid, among others. That’s your money, y’all. None of that happens without you.
