Gonzaga’s candidacy, Pac-12’s future, Texas and Oklahoma exit plans on deck with Big 12 brass set to meet
When Big 12 presidents and athletic directors begin meeting Thursday at the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport Grand Hyatt, might as well bring your popcorn. On the agenda is Gonzaga’s potential membership in basketball. That alone has realignment implications beyond the Big 12.

Expansion is still in play, especially as long as the Pac-12 doesn’t sign a new media rights deal. Gonzaga’s…

How a government debt ceiling crisis could affect future travel
The U.S. government has just reached its debt ceiling for the first time since 2011. Though lawmakers funded the federal government through the end of the fiscal year 2023 in December, they still borrow money to fund ongoing operations via a debt ceiling. “The federal government is like any other person with a credit card in that it limits how much it can borrow to finance extra spending, known as the debt ceiling. That’s essentially to ensure the government can still fund its legal obligations,” Sarah Foster, an economy reporter for Bankrate (a publication owned by TPG’s parent company, Red Ventures), explained. “But running the world’s largest economy gives you…

The Key CES Trends That Are Shaping the Future of Tech
CES is where you need to be if you want to know where the future of technology lies. The show floor in Las Vegas was filled with buzzy, headline-grabbing products of the week, like a toilet sensor that can read your pee and a color-changing car with AI sass.

Despite a cost of living crisis and other challenges, Australia’s economic future is bright
I won an award in 2022. No, it wasn’t a Walkley. It was an in-house award from The Drum presented at the Christmas party: Patron Saint of Doomsday – for always reminding us that a financial crisis is nigh. All jokes aside, we do live in a troubled world. Last year saw an escalation of the climate change crisis, a war in Ukraine, soaring inflation, further phases of a global pandemic, the Bank of England rescue Britain from a major financial crisis, and the death of Queen Elizabeth II – to name but a few moments.
