Hello everyone, I recently saw “The Fantastic Four: First Steps.” I am not a diehard Marvel Cinematic Universe fan, and I think that they have been scrabbling to get it together since “Avengers: Endgame.” However, this movie gives me some hope. I cautiously look forward to future movies.

If you feel the need, cautiously scroll down and read the news. Or just dive right in.

Stay golden,

UMN to charge $200 fee for Twin Cities students following athlete pay settlement

by Hannah Reynolds and Ash Jones | Published July 29, 2025

This fall, the University of Minnesota is implementing a new $200 fee for students on the Twin Cities campus to support its athletics department.

The $100-per-semester fee, approved by the Board of Regents in June, comes as schools across the country have gained the ability to pay student athletes directly, following the approval of a landmark National Collegiate Athletic Association settlement.

Commonly referred to as the “House Settlement,” the multi-billion-dollar settlement marks the beginning of direct pay for athletes in college sports and the end of three separate antitrust lawsuits brought against the NCAA for limiting the earnings of college athletes, according to ESPN.
