University Of Michigan’s Athletic Department Under Investigation

The probe is taking place after the firing of the school's football head coach, Sherrone Moore

The University of Michigan’s athletic department is once again under investigation following the handling of the termination of its football coach, Sherrone Moore.

According to The Detroit News, the school’s board has hired the law firm Jenner & Block to investigate not only the firing of Moore but also the athletic department in general. This is the same firm that was hired to investigate an alleged relationship between former President Mark Schlissel and a University of Michigan employee, as well as the recent inquiry into Moore’s relationship with a staffer.

Moore was terminated from his football head coaching job of two years for allegedly being “engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.”

Jenner & Block will review how the athletic department handled Moore’s firing and the department’s culture, which has been embroiled in several controversies in a few short years. There is no timeline for the law firm’s review.

Moore was previously penalized for his role in a sign-stealing scandal in the same season that the football team won the NCAA Championship in 2024. Connor Stallions, a team staffer, and then-head coach, Jim Harbaugh, were suspended for multiple games, while Moore, who held the position of offensive coordinator, was suspended for one game. 

The previous year, former co-offensive coordinator Matt Weiss was terminated after allegations that he had infiltrated the personal accounts of thousands of college athletes. He was also accused of stealing intimate photographs and videos between 2015 and 2023.

There were infractions and terminations in other sports at the school. Head hockey coach Mel Pearson was fired for misconduct, in part due to allegations that he pressured players to defy COVID-19 restrictions while they were competing in the NCAA Tournament. Former NBA player and Michigan alum, head men’s basketball coach Juwan Howard, was dismissed after the program posted an 8-24 record, in part due to his conduct, including slapping a Wisconsin assistant coach during a postgame handshake line.

HBCU President Sues White Professor Who Called Her ‘Scam Artist’ Over Plagiarism Claims

The two parties both have lawsuits open, as the disgruntled professor claims she was forced out due to her whiteness.

An HBCU President is embroiled in a legal battle with a former professor regarding plagiarism accusations on a decades-old dissertation.

The president of the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Heidi Anderson, filed a defamation suit against Donna Satterlee, a former professor at UMES. Anderson claims her former employee, Satterlee, stifled career opportunities with her character attacks.

Anderson stated that Satterlee, who is white, claims that she is a “scam artist” who plagiarized parts of her 1986 dissertation, and these accusations lead to cancelled speaking engagements and more. Now, she is seeking $1 million in damages due to the professor’s comments on her character, according to The Grio.

The statements were made as Satterlee spoke out against alleged corruption at the HBCU. The begrudged professor left her position at UMES last December, despite initially seeking a full-time professorship.

Instead, she was met with calls for termination by administrators over claims she violated the HBCU’s bullying policies. However, she has since filed a wrongful termination lawsuit. Satterlee herself claims that she was forced out due to her race and retaliation over calling out the school’s issues.

She is one of many former employees suing the university, the other three also claiming fraud and “criminal activity” by the HBCU’s administrators. One of her issues is with Anderson, who she believe is “not qualified to be president.”

However, Anderson intends to “take a stand” against the professor with her own suit. Particularly on the plagiarism claims, Anderson defended her actions, stating that citation standards at the time were different.

“I stayed quiet for as long as I could,” Anderson said. “There’s no plagiarism here. It’s an attack on me and my character and all of us at the university. I needed to take a stand.”

While Satterlee never taught Anderson during her matriculation, she decided to check on the president’s own academic integrity in 2024.

Amid her mounting grievances with UMES, which she believes prevented her appointment to a full-time role, she double-checked Anderson’s dissertation. The reveal of a 27% plagiarism check on plagiarism-checking website “Turnitin” led to a public doxxing of the HBCU President.

“I was upset with the way Anderson was treating me and also talking with students about plagiarism,” Satterlee told The Washington Post. “Both contributed to me reviewing her dissertation.”

The two parties will appear at court this December.

Reginae Carter Missed A Whole Disney-Channel-Bag Over Young Money Lyric About Miley Cyrus

The daughter of Lil Wayne got real about how Young Money may have impacted her own career.

Reginae Carter is speaking out on a missed work opportunity with the Disney Channel over a controversial Young Money Song lyric.

Reginae, the daughter of Young Money founder and rapper Lil Wayne, spoke about the failed opportunity to become a Disney darling while on her podcast, Heir Time. She told fellow rap princess, Fat Joe’s daughter Azzy Milan, about the missed opportunity over a lyric that spoke about former Disney actress Miley Cyrus. Glock Topickz shared a clip of the conversation.

Reginae referred to her uncle and Young Money Entertainment president, Mack Maine, in her verse on 2009’s “Every Girl.” On the track, Maine made mention of the then-17-year-old “Hannah Montana” star. The reference apparently led to the winding down of a potential deal with Disney for Carter.

While not her own words, the verse ultimately impacted Reginae’s opportunity with the house that Mickey built. She also said anything related to her dad could affect her and her career. In this case, one of the Young Money crew’s words stifled the chance to get on the kids’ platform.

“Because of who my dad is, they’re going to put that on me,” the 27-year-old said on the podcast, launched in August. “Even with the Disney Channel, my uncle had a song that said, ‘In about three years, holler at me Miley Cyrus.’”

The lyric insinuated that he wanted to get to know Cyrus once she reached legal age, an inappropriate comment directly made at the child star.

Reginae continued, “I wanted to do something for Disney, [and] couldn’t because my uncle said [the lyric.]”

The two hip-hop royals agreed that “Disney don’t play,” which led to her losing her chance to work with the company.

However, Maine also recently caught heat last year for continuing to “shoot his shot” at the underage Cyrus. In the midst of the infamous Kendrick Lamar-Drake beef, Maine’s support for Drake led others to call out his suspect behavior toward Cyrus before she turned 18.

“Happy bdayyyyyyyy 2 my babygirl Miley Cyrus… 17yrs old…1 more yr…luv,” Maine wrote in 2009.

Throughout the years, he continued to swoon over the much-younger Cyrus, referring to her as a “pyt,” baby, and “baby girl.”

While Maine has already been called out for his concerning obsession with Cyrus during her younger years, Reginae reflected on how that moment jeopardized her career at Disney. Now, she has taken her platform to talk about life in a celebrity kid’s spotlight through her new podcast.

NBA Legend David Robinson Sues Business Partner For $34 Million

The San Antonio Spurs Hall of Famer filed a lawsuit against his business partner, Daniel Bassichis, alleging misappropriation of funds

NBA Hall of Famer David Robinson recently filed a lawsuit against his business partner, Daniel Bassichis, alleging misappropriation of funds and seeking $34 million in damages.

According to the San Antonio Express-News, the paperwork was filed Dec. 12 in Texas Business Court by Robinson, the Admiral Capital Group, and two of the group’s subsidiaries against Bassichis and his companies, Vero Capital GP, LLC, and Us Living Structured Fund LP.

Robinson claims that Bassichis diverted tens of millions of dollars to finance a new business venture without informing him. The former basketball player is accusing Bassichis of misappropriating $18 million from one of the Admiral Capital Group’s LLCs to Bassichis’ real estate venture without getting approval from him.

The lawsuit alleged that Robinson’s business partner breached fiduciary duty, committed fraud, committed conversion, committed tortious interference, engaged in civil conspiracy, committed accounting fraud, and breached good faith and fair dealing.

Robinson co-founded Admiral Capital with Bassichis, a former Goldman Sachs banker, in 2008; Robinson owns 51% of the company.

Bassichis did respond to Robinson’s lawsuit in an email to the media outlet.

“David and I have known each other for twenty-three years and have shared a long and successful business relationship. In 2022, David stepped down from the business, and I continued as managing partner, overseeing the existing assets and working to grow the business in the best interests of our investors. We are proud of our track record and accomplishments. My team remains extraordinarily dedicated to doing what is best for our investors.

“While disputes between partners unfortunately arise, this matter is an isolated business disagreement regarding the wind-down of several assets and related issues, and I am confident it will be resolved quickly,” Bassichis wrote.

Robinson is a two-time NBA champion (1999 and 2003) who played his entire career with the San Antonio Spurs from 1989 to 2003. With numerous accolades throughout his career, he was named Most Valuable Player in 1995 and inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2009.

The Transformational Advantage Of Smart CEOs In Uncertain Times

Leading Through the Unknown

Written By Kyra Rènel Hardwick

When the ground shifts beneath us, most leaders seek stability. Smart CEOs create it. In an era marked by disruption, economic volatility, rapid technological changes, and shifting workforce values, businesses need more than steady hands. They need visionary minds capable of transformation. Transformational leadership isn’t just a management style; it’s a philosophy that drives SMART CEOs to move beyond control and focus on connection. Entrepreneurs, business owners, and leadership shift from managing results to multiplying potential. In times of uncertainty, a leader’s ability to pivot and foster change determines who survives and thrives.

What It Truly Means to Lead and Transform
At its core, transformational leadership operates on one powerful principle: growth is contagious. When leaders evolve, their organizations follow. This approach taps into the full potential of individuals, focusing on purpose, engagement, and innovation, rather than rigid hierarchy and compliance.

It’s a leadership model built on four key pillars that, when aligned, turn instability into momentum:

  • Vision and Purpose: Make the “why” behind every action clear. People can navigate ambiguity when they take the time to establish its meaning.
  • Inspiration and Engagement: Shift from directive leadership to a collaborative dialogue. Shared belief drives sustained performance.
  • Intellectual Stimulation: Foster curiosity by asking more “what if” questions than “why not” objections.
  • Individualized Consideration: Invest in people as thinkers and innovators, not just executors.

These principles don’t just react to challenges; they regenerate organizations, enabling them to adapt faster and more cohesively when the external environment can’t be controlled.

How to Implement It When the Future Feels Foggy
Transformational leadership begins with a shift in posture, not a change in policy. The first step is to become a translator of uncertainty, reframing disruption as a field for discovery. Here are four practical ways to implement transformational leadership in turbulent times:

  1. Reimagine meetings as meaning sessions. Use time together to refocus and realign, rather than just exchanging updates.
  2. Co-create the path forward. Empower teams to shape strategy and share accountability for outcomes.
  3. Practice radical transparency. When leaders share context, trust and ingenuity flourish.
  4. Reward learning velocity. In times of instability, progress should be measured by adaptability, not just output.

A powerful tool to guide this shift is the Plan-Do-Check-Adjust cycle, a flexible, iterative rhythm that encourages continuous reflection and adaptation. When organizations think in cycles instead of linear plans, they gain the ability to adjust in real time while maintaining alignment.

    The Benefits of Transforming Under Pressure
    When leadership shifts to a transformational model, the impact ripples throughout the entire organization. Over time, the results are visible at every level:

      • Cultural Resilience: People no longer fear change; they anticipate it.
      • Operational Agility: Teams pivot faster, and decision-making becomes quicker
        because authority is decentralized and trusted.
      • Sustained Innovation: Curiosity becomes a permanent part of the organizational DNA, not just a temporary campaign.
      • Strategic Endurance: Leaders think beyond immediate goals, aligning people, processes, and profit for long-term success.

      Transformational leadership builds the ability to evolve faster than external challenges deteriorate, making it a superpower in uncertain times.

      The Long-Term Payoff: A Culture That Leads Itself
      Transformation is not an event. It’s a leadership lifestyle. Early outcomes may show up as sharper communication, stronger morale, and more initiative. Long-term impact looks like this: an organization that can lead itself.

      The ultimate test of leadership isn’t how well a company performs when things go right, but how effectively it recalibrates when they don’t. Leaders who embrace transformation create environments where people don’t wait for direction; they generate it.

      The Takeaway
      Every era of uncertainty produces two kinds of organizations: those that cling to what was, and those who transform into what’s next. Transformational leadership ensures you belong to the latter. It transforms chaos into clarity, followers into collaborators, and short-term survival into sustainable significance.

      Because when the world feels unpredictable, the most strategic thing a leader can do is not tighten control but expand capacity.

      Civil Rights Groups Clash Over Knoxville Microloan Program For Black-Owned Businesses

      A lawsuit challenging a privately funded lending initiative has drawn national attention — and heavyweight legal backing on both sides.

      A legal battle unfolding in federal court is placing a Knoxville-based microloans program for Black-owned businesses under national scrutiny, pitting conservative legal advocates against prominent civil rights organizations, according to Knox News.


      The dispute centers on a small-business lending initiative run by The Women of Knoxville and its affiliated nonprofit, The Women Foundation. The program offers low-interest microloans and mentorship to entrepreneurs in East Knoxville, with eligibility requiring businesses to be at least 51% Black-owned.


      The American Alliance for Equal Rights, a group founded by affirmative action opponent Edward Blum, filed a lawsuit arguing the program unlawfully discriminates based on race. The case was brought by an unnamed white business owner affiliated with the organization, who claims the race-specific criteria violate federal civil rights laws. The funds in question are privately raised and do not involve taxpayer dollars.


      The Women of Knoxville was established in 2019 by a group of local business leaders and activists — Deidra Harper, Tanika Harper, Dasha Lundy, and Kanika White — after discussions about the economic barriers facing Black residents in the city. The group says the program was designed to address persistent gaps in access to capital rooted in Knoxville’s history.


      Civil rights groups have stepped in to defend the initiative. The Southern Poverty Law Center and the Global Black Economic Forum filed legal briefs in support of the Knoxville organizations. SPLC deputy legal director Scott McCoy criticized the lawsuit, saying it “perverts the federal civil rights laws in a way never intended.”


      The Alliance has successfully challenged race-conscious grant programs in the past, including the more recent microloan program, and has prevailed in a recent Texas ruling involving business funding. Blum also founded Students for Fair Admissions, the organization behind the Supreme Court case that effectively ended race-based college admissions.


      In court filings, supporters of the Knoxville program point to decades of redlining and urban renewal policies that disproportionately harmed Black neighborhoods. Organizations, including the Highlander Research and Education Center and the Knoxville Area Urban League, submitted filings detailing how federal and local actions stripped Black residents of wealth and opportunity.


      “These programs exist because the disparities still exist,” the Knoxville organizations argued, calling the initiative “a targeted, lawful effort to address a real-world problem, not ‘rank discrimination.’”


      They also contend the lawsuit lacks standing, noting the unnamed plaintiff never applied for funding and has not been denied assistance. Claims of “irreparable harm,” they argue, are unfounded, given that the grants are modest and the business remains solvent.


      The nonprofits further argue that private charitable programs should not be subjected to the same scrutiny as government-funded initiatives — a distinction they say the Alliance ignores.

      Academy Helping Low-Income Black Students Earn College Degrees Early To Open 4 Cleveland Schools

      The academy offers free education for students in K-12 and no-cost college classes for its high schoolers.  

      Faced with systemic barriers like financial obstacles and discrimination, it is uncommon for low-income students to obtain college degrees ahead of high school graduation. Yet that rare feat has been achieved by Black students—two each from Indiana University and Purdue University—who earned bachelor’s degrees while attending the 21st Century Charter School in Gary, Indiana.  21st Century Charter School is the flagship institution of GEO Academies, the operator of non-traditional public charter schools. It provides free education for students in K-12 and no-cost college classes for high schoolers enrolled in the academy.  

      “The only four in the country to do this,” Kevin Teasley, president and founder of GEO Academies and its foundation owner, says of the students. BLACK ENTERPRISE was told that GEO is a nonprofit offering a college-emergent program that no other public high school nationally provides. Some 99% of GEO students are Black from low-income homes. The concept is helping create a pipeline from poverty.

      GEO currently has eight schools with 4,500 students in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, as well as Gary and Indianapolis, both in Indiana. Students attend colleges and universities in person while enrolled in high school. They, too, can get free books, transportation, meals, and tutoring if needed. Incidentally, GEO stands for Greater Education Opportunities.

      Now, Teasley is expanding into Cleveland, aiming to open four schools in Ohio’s largest city.

      GEO recently won an $8.2M grant to do that. The first academy is expected to open in August 2027, initially as a K-5 school before evolving into a K-8 school. The second school will open in 2029, following a similar pattern to the first school. A high school is scheduled to open in 2031. The fourth school, a K-8 academy, is set to open in 2033. 

      “We will be speaking to community organizations, leaders from civic organizations, neighborhood leaders, and other leaders in education and philanthropy, to build awareness of our schools and find the most ideal locations.”

      Using partnerships with accredited universities, Teasley says GEO students earn college credits. “The universities have already invested in buildings, teachers, and labs. I don’t have to buy all that, allowing me to put more money toward students learning what they want.”

      Like public schools, GEO gets funding from the state and federal government. Yet it operates differently than conventional schools by providing Black students free secondary and higher education by investing its dollars into each student instead of schools. 

      To boot, Teasley says GEO offers trade school classes in welding, electrical, and other skills, assuring students are prepared for college and the workforce. He says over 100 students have earned associate’s degrees at their high school graduation.

      Career-wise, Teasley says the model has helped many Black students gain enduring success since GEO started in 1998.

      Take Jeremiah Tate, a 2012 graduate from the Indianapolis GEO school. His path included working for Intel. Today, he is a senior design engineer at Microsoft. “He helped develop Copilot,” Teasley says. “He’s also on my board now.”  

      Another is Jamal Abdulrasheed, another 2012 graduate, who obtained a law degree and is now director of legal affairs at GEO, Teasley says.

      Yet there are challenges. Teasley says, including securing start-up capital to open more schools and convincing parents that their children can achieve more than what tradition expects. 

      The model has been well-received by Black parents. Most GEO students are from homes void of college degrees and even high school diplomas. “They can’t afford college, and we remove that barrier,” Teasley says. “Parents are enrolling their children in our schools because they know about our college promise.”

      A white administrator, Teasley, has a team of diverse educators on staff. “I intentionally seek Black educators and leaders,” he says. “Our students need to see themselves in our leadership and classroom settings.”

      Nike Air Force 1 ‘ATLiens’ Tribute Sneakers Planned For 2026

      This would be in recognition of the 30th anniversary of the release of OutKast's "ATLiens

      This year, Atlanta recording artists OutKast were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and to celebrate the duo’s 25th anniversary of the “Stankonia” album, a commemorative football shirt was released. To continue recognizing the popular group, Nike will debut a special-edition Air Force 1 in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the release of their second album, “ATLiens.”

      According to Sneaker Files, the shoe release, aptly named The Nike Air Force 1 ATLiens, will be released in Fall 2026. “ATLiens” was released Aug. 27, 1996. The two-times platinum album peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Top 200 chart while scoring No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums in 1996.

      No details on the colorway, although Sneaker Market Romania drew up “a detailed speculative mock-up” of the upcoming sneakers.

      Sneaker Files reported that the sneaker will have a black, vivid purple, deep night white, barely volt, and desert bronze color scheme. The colors on the ATLiens album cover would inspire this. The media outlet noted that it’s not an “official collaboration” with Big Boi and André 3000, but insists it’s a tribute release.

      When the group partnered with MUNDIAL magazine to announce the football jersey in October, it said it was named after their album “Stankonia” (Stankonia FC). The group’s name is centered on the shirt, featuring one of their most famous lines, “Forever Eva (from their hit single, ‘Ms. Jackson’), in a scripted font, directly below the duo’s name. It was in recognition of the “Stankonia” album cover art, which featured a black-and-white United States flag with Big Boi and André 3000 posing in front of it.

      On the back of the shirt, No. 25 is the uniform number, the album title is the featured name, and the stars are arranged vertically. There’s also a hoodie (featuring “so fresh” on one sleeve and “so clean” on the other), a long-sleeve shirt, and a short-sleeve T-shirt available for sale.

      3 West African Countries Join Forces To Launch $895M Investment Bank

      Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger created the bank to finance infrastructure, energy, and agricultural projects.

      Three West African countries have joined forces to launch a regional investment bank with capital of 500 billion CFA francs, which is about $895 million. Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger created the bank to finance infrastructure, energy, and agricultural projects. It’s one of the most significant financial collaborations among Sahel nations in recent years.

      According to Business Insider Africa, the military-led governments will pool resources from their three mineral-rich countries to finance the bank. Mali and Burkina Faso are among Africa’s leading gold producers. Niger has significant uranium reserves.

      “Creating a development bank is a matter of financial stability, economic development, and financing strategic projects,” Burkina Faso’s Finance Minister Aboubakar Nacanabo said during a signing ceremony in Bamako, Mali’s capital.

      It’s a move by the three countries to reduce their dependency on foreign donors while supporting their own agendas.

      Launching West African Investment Bank Amid Political Isolation

      As the Voice of Africa points out, the three countries banding together to launch the banks come at a time when all three nations face political isolation, climate concerns, and even ongoing security challenges. In 2024, all three countries withdrew from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) over frustrations that the bloc failed to support their fight against insurgencies.

      Burkina Faso has faced scrutiny from international leaders due to a combination of political instability brought on by multiple military coups, an escalating jihadist insurgency, and a deepening humanitarian crisis that involves mass killings of civilians. Mali and Niger have also faced international criticism for the same reasons.

      ECOWAS imposed significant sanctions on the three countries after their military coups, including border closures, asset freezes, and no-fly zones that were especially geared toward Niger. However, ECOWAS’s actions heightened tensions and led to the formation of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES). Eventually, three countries withdrew from ECOWAS altogether in 2024, as the BBC reports.

      Stephen Curry Passes Michael Jordan With Latest Scoring Record

      Curry, 37, is still putting up impressive numbers.

      NBA champion and future Hall of Famer Stephen Curry has added another accolade to his long career yesterday, surpassing Michael Jordan for the most 40-plus-point games after age 30.

      According to NBA.com, the prolific sharpshooter scored 48 points against the Portland Trailblazers. It wasn’t enough the Golden State Warriors, to the Blazers, 136-131.

      It was the 45th time Curry has reached that level, according to Sports Illustrated. And it was the 75th time that the “Baby-Faced Assassin” has done that in his career, which is ninth all-time. The leader: Wilt Chamberlain who did that a whopping 271 times.

      https://twitter.com/NBCSWarriors/status/2000419267733606728


      Curry hit a season-high 12 3-pointers in the game, coming close to tying his league record of 14.

      Draymond Green contributed to the historic night by adding his name to the Warriors’ record books. When he made a steal in the third quarter, he became the franchise’s third player to have 1,200 steals. He is behind Hall of Famer Chris Mullin’s 1,360 steals and substantially behind the team leader, Curry, who has registered 1,574 steals in his illustrious career.

      In the Warriors’ previous game on Dec. 12, Curry took over Jordan’s record for the most 35-point games after turning 30 years old, but it was not enough to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves, who won 127-120. Curry scored 39 points and six 3-pointers during the game.

      Although Curry, 37, has missed nine games this season, he still leads the team in scoring by averaging 29.6 points a game and has made 48.4% of his shots and connecting on 41.2% of his 3-point shots. He has 3.9 assists per game, while getting 1.9 steals and 3.7 rebounds per game.

      The Warriors next face the Phoenix Suns on Dec. 18 in Phoenix, before hosting them in San Francisco on Dec. 20. The Warriors are currently 13-14.
