An agent of Ric Flair attempted to steal $150,000 and much more from the WWE legend, according to the 16-time World Champion. Speaking to News Nation, Flair spoke about his 2017 hospitalization and the belief many shared that he was going to die. Flair claimed that his agents tried to steal whatever they could when they thought he was dying, believing that anything he kept would go to others in his will. He wrote, “My agents stole all my stuff, because they knew once I died… I had a 5% chance to live. And they all knew that when I died, that would go into my will. They wouldn’t be able to get it. So they stole it. One agent stole $150,000.” Flair added that only he and The Rock own their pro wrestling IP, and that his agents tried to get his then-wife Wendy to sign over his assets on his behalf. He said, “I’m one of two wrestlers who owns his own intellectual property. They were trying to heist my… I won’t say who; they were trying to get Wendy to sign my intellectual property over to him. I found out the hard way.” Flair survived his health issues in 2017. He would go on to wrestle his final match at the ‘Ric Flair’s Last Match’ event in July 2022.

Below is my column in The Hill on an important case currently before the Supreme Court on the free press and the ability to protect confidential sources. The underlying facts may seem like something out of The Onion: an accused Chinese operative and PLA Colonel who was viewed as a national security risk is successfully using the Privacy Act to get a respected journalist to reveal her confidential sources. However, it is very serious and, unless the Court reviews the case, investigative journalism in the United States could suffer a debilitating blow with little more than a shrug from the...

Oct 18, 2026; Indianapolis, IN, USA; North Carolina Tar Heels guard Matt Able (3) dribbles out of bounds against Indiana Hoosiers guard Jaeden Mustaf (3) during the first half at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Mandatory Credit: Robert Goddin-Imagn Images | IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters ConnectEight points. Three made field goals. Another night of offensive inefficiency.On paper, Jaeden Mustaf's performance in Indiana's exhibition win over North Carolina on Sunday night wasn't particularly impressive.But the box score tells only a fraction of Mustaf's story. And for Indiana coach Darian DeVries, the most important parts of that story have little to do with how often the third-year wing puts the ball in the basket."We've challenged him to be that guy for us," DeVries said Sunday following the Hoosiers' exhibition win over the Tar Heels. "That's why he's out there, to be our guy that we can say, 'Go lock him up.'"Every good team needs somebody willing to embrace the assignments nobody else wants. Somebody who can make an opposing star uncomfortable, survive a mismatch and turn an otherwise routine possession into a struggle.DeVries believes Mustaf can be that somebody for Indiana. And against North Carolina, Mustaf offered a glimpse of what that could look like.Mustaf is becoming Indiana's defensive answerNorth Carolina's Neo Avdalas, the No. 16-ranked transfer this offseason, according to On3, isn't a conventional matchup for a perimeter defender. At 6-foot-9, the Tar Heels' lead ball-handler presents a combination of size and skill that can make life miserable for opposing guards.Mustaf, however, looked comfortable with the challenge.Tasked as the primary defender on Avdalas for much of Sunday's contest, the 6-foot-6, 215-pound Mustaf helped limit the Tar Heel guard to six points on 3-of-11 shooting. Avdalas also committed four turnovers.No thunderous dunk or deep 3-pointer was required. Mustaf made his presence felt by making someone else's job considerably more difficult.And the beauty of having Mustaf on the floor is that the assignment doesn't necessarily have to change when the matchup does."He can get through ball screens. He can keep guys in front. He's strong; when he gets a bigger guy down on the block, we can play him one-on-one," DeVries said. "I've been really happy with him embracing that."It's a luxury for DeVries, who can deploy Mustaf against a variety of offensive threats without constantly searching for a more favorable defensive matchup.Against smaller guards, Mustaf has the strength to absorb contact. Against bigger wings, he has the size to hold his ground.Through two exhibitions, Mustaf has looked like Indiana's best perimeter defender. And perhaps more importantly, he's beginning to look like the player DeVries trusts most when somebody needs to be stopped. His offense remains a work in progressNone of this means Mustaf's offensive struggles are irrelevant.After shooting 2-for-10 against Butler, he followed with a 3-for-8 performance against North Carolina. That's 5-for-18 across two exhibitions, hardly the efficiency Indiana will want from a player expected to spend significant time on the floor.But Mustaf offers something offensively that doesn't always show up in his shooting percentages. He can get downhill.At 215 pounds, Mustaf has the strength to absorb contact and the aggressiveness to attack defenders. It's a different dimension for an Indiana offense with several players more comfortable operating along the perimeter."Having him be that straight downhill driver for us, and get to the free-throw line," DeVries said. "I think he's getting better and better in those areas."The next step is turning those drives into more productive possessions. Getting to the rim is valuable, but finishing consistently, creating for others or drawing fouls is what makes that pressure worthwhile.For now, though, Mustaf doesn't need to become one of Indiana's primary scoring options. The Hoosiers have other players capable of carrying that responsibility.What they need, and what they're getting, from Mustaf is something harder to replace.Finding his roleTwo exhibition games aren't enough to declare Mustaf an elite defender, and the challenges awaiting Indiana during the regular season will only become more demanding.But they've provided a pretty clear indication of where he fits.On a roster still learning how to play together, Mustaf already has a responsibility that doesn't depend on offensive rhythm, shooting confidence or how many touches come his way.His job is to make somebody else's night difficult.There will be games when his shots aren't falling. There will likely be nights when he barely threatens double figures. But if Mustaf can consistently take the opponent's most dangerous perimeter player out of rhythm, his impact could extend well beyond anything the box score captures.Eight points and three made field goals might not look like much. But for a player Indiana is asking to be "that guy" defensively, the most meaningful numbers might belong to the man he's guarding.Today's best readsIndiana Basketball Lands 2029 Guard Micah Mohler.

On Wednesday, Sept. 30, Director of Public Safety (PSafe) Scott Rohde shared the 2025 Annual Safety Report via an all-school email. The report features statistics from the last three years on reported crimes on campus. The 2025 report also includes statistics on hazing incidents, a new requirement by the Clery Act. According to the report, the 2025 calendar year saw a decrease in liquor offenses, an increase in drug offenses, and no reported rape or dating violence incidents. The report also included disclosure of the voyeurism incident in Nicolson from October 2025, although it was not required by the Clery Act. Rohde attributed the increase in drug offenses over the three years to the legalization of marijuana in Connecticut, stressing that most of the drug offenses were marijuana related. While there were 72 judicial referrals in 2025, none of them resulted in arrests, according to the report. “I’m not surprised by that trend because Connecticut has legalized marijuana,” Rohde said. “Essentially, the issue that students need to remember is that [marijuana] is still prohibited on [the University] campus, and that the Connecticut law applies to those over 21. As more states legalize marijuana and as it becomes more socially common, I think we are seeing people who are more comfortable in using it, and this may well be a connection in terms of that trend.” Rohde also stated that alcohol offenses are more prone to year-by-year fluctuations due to factors such as training programs by WesWell and the number of social events. Sharing that there was an increase in offenses during the COVID-19 pandemic, Rohde also believes that the characteristics of a given class year are also a factor in the number of such offenses. “We had some fairly high numbers during COVID when people were pretty secluded,” Rohde said. “I’m hopeful that some of the lower numbers with alcohol have to do with increased programming, better party approval, and management. I would hope that has some impact, but it may be minimal. A lot of it has to do with individual characteristics of a particular class, or how many unregistered social events there are.” An anonymous student also shared their insights into why an increasing number of students are reportedly partaking in drug use on campus. “It’s just expensive to buy alcohol and friends just give out weed and drugs without asking you to pay them back or anything,” they said. “So I feel like it’s just easier to do. It’s also more low-key. You don’t have to go out or plan your whole night around that.” This sentiment is reflected in national data, which shows that as of 2023, daily or near-daily cannabis use is nearly three times that of daily or near-daily alcohol use in young adults aged 19 to 30. In light of Title IX Coordinator Debbie Colucci’s recent departure from the University, Rohde also shared information about PSafe’s relationship with the Title IX Office. Rohde stated that PSafe has not been significantly affected by Colucci’s departure at the time of the interview. “PSafe has a good working relationship with the Title IX Office,” Rohde said. “Our roles, however, are not the same. Many of these issues and complaints go directly to the Title IX Office, and they do not have to flow through PSafe. If we are the recipients of the case, we will address it, triage it…with any immediate safety concerns, document the facts as we know them, and we will make the referral to Title IX. Does [Colucci’s departure] have a significant impact on our work? I would say no because we are prepared. It’s stable, and we have not been asked to take on any role other than our usual.” Rohde emphasized that the statistic in the 2025 report of no reported rape and dating violence incidents did not necessarily mean that these incidents did not occur on campus, but rather that they were not reported. “If they confide this information to someone in health services or in a pastoral care situation like the Office of Religious and Spiritual Life, these areas are entitled to strict confidentiality, so we may never learn of them,” Rohde said. “Also, some reports are exclusive to friend groups, and they choose not to want an investigation or involve the University judicial process or the police. The bottom line is, it varies year to year how many people are reporting. It does not mean there were zero [incidents]. It means there was zero reporting.” Students echoed this sentiment by Rohde, sharing that students are often still worried about reporting sexual violence to campus authorities. “I think people are too scared to speak up and are seriously afraid of retaliation and stigma,” Dottie Smith ’29 wrote in a message to The Argus. “This 100% does not mean there weren’t any rapes, just that they went unreported. I think so many incidents happen on campus in a more grey area when it comes to sexual violence. I know people who have felt very uncomfortable and experience traumatic events at parties or during times when they were intoxicated and just because they weren’t a victim of non-consensual penetrative sex, they don’t believe that they were raped or that anything worth reporting happened to them.” The University encourages students who have observed or experienced concerning behavior to report it via the Incident Reporting Form, or directly to Public Safety, Human Resources, or the Dean of Students Office.

On Oct. 6, 2026, Warner Bros. was officially acquired by Paramount Skydance in a $110 billion merger that promised to deliver “30 high-quality theatrical films per year” and “build the next-generation global media and entertainment company powered by creativity and technology.” It is part of a sequence of mergers involving Disney acquiring 20th Century Fox and Sony acquiring Columbia. It gained quite a bit of attention due to a large number of members from Writers Guild of America (WGA), Directors Guild of America (DGA), and high-profile actors openly opposing the deal. Many of them later joined Block the Merger, an industry campaign led by the Future Film Coalition to oppose the Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount Skydance (WBD-PSKY) merger. Despite the intense opposition, the acquisition went through as planned. The acquisition was funded by multiple foreign investors along with the Ellison family (David Ellison, son of billionaire Oracle founder Larry Ellison, is the CEO of Paramount Skydance). According to Section 310 of the Communications Act of 1934, foreign investors should only have been allowed to own 25% of the company. In this case, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) allowed them to increase foreign ownership to 49.5%, stating that they “are persuaded by Paramount’s argument that the Foreign Investors therefore will not be able to wield any influence, let alone control, over decisions involving the Licensees.” It’s important to note that the Ellisons donated $45 million to Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign. Of course, they’re still going to keep the funds “under review,” which means that they will pretend to regulate the activity of Skydance. This is part of a false compromise that allowed the Ellisons to win this case while screwing over workers. Production workers are already bearing many of the consequences of this merger. Despite the agreement to donate millions of dollars to unions and workforce development, a report released by the County of Los Angeles stated that the merger would result in “4,500 local film and TV jobs directly and 10,360 total jobs indirectly exposed, with up to $4.06 billion in business output and $547 million in tax revenue at risk.” The impact of this expands beyond production workers and the film industry, with supporting sectors such as retailers, restaurants, agents, and promoters also being affected by the mass layoffs. Not to mention that one company mass-producing film, television, news, and other forms of entertainment means that variety will practically be eliminated and prices of streaming, cable, and movie tickets will skyrocket. This merger promised to improve film quality and increase film production, but it only seems to be benefitting the pockets of David and Larry Ellison. Speaking of film quality, the merger prioritizes the quantity and revenue of films produced over crafting individually compelling stories. This, obviously, is not a new pattern, as film, like any art form, has been defined by the tension between creating art and maximising profit. Both Warner Bros. and Paramount initially became leading companies by toeing that line. This led to the creation of franchises such as Jurassic Park and Harry Potter that were as profitable as they were well-made. However, just because there is a repeating pattern doesn’t mean that we get to avert our eyes and pretend that it’s not important. The most tragic thing about this merger is the massive loss of artistry in film. Film is at the intersection of so many forms of art, ranging from music to costume and visual design, and good film takes a creative risk in any of these departments. Now, more than ever, artists who want to take creative risks are going to be denied visibility. Experimental film propels many of the important discussions we have about society, politics and culture. For example, movies like “Obsession,” “Companion,” and “Jennifer’s Body” have opened important conversations about rape, sexual assault, and female autonomy. Film can teach empathy to an audience like no other medium of art, and the connection it has built with its audience is slowly being severed. It is now hard to understand meaningful art, and even harder to create it. Isha Bhandari is a member of the class of 2030 and can be reached at ibhandari@wesleyan.edu.

Dear President Roth, I write regarding your recent guest essay in the New York Times titled “The Obvious Step That Could Mean Fewer Fraternity Sexual Assaults.” In this essay you make an argument for fraternities going co-ed. I do not write to engage with the larger content of your essay, but merely to ask a focused question about your choice of phrase in one sentence. You write that “one young man’s Snapchat invitation to a chain of buddies to have sex with an intoxicated woman was like-minded bro culture at its worst.” I wonder about your framing of this as an “invitation” to “have sex with an intoxicated woman.” Have sex with? This was an invitation to rape. Consider an alternate scenario, in which a fraternity staged torture sessions in which they gathered as a gang to physically beat and assault a drugged man. Would you then write that a fraternity man posted an “invitation” to “box with an intoxicated man?” Rape is rape. And calling it “having sex” is bro culture at its worst.
