Court documents reveal Pac-12 schools to pay well beyond $50 million in Comcast overpayment scandal

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:31:48 GMT

The future of the Pac-12 hinges, in part, on the two remaining and 10 departing schools gaining clarity on the conference’s assets and liabilities.One of those liabilities has come into focus.The conference is taking a $72 million budget hit as a result of the Comcast overpayment scandal, according to commissioner George Kliavkoff’s court declaration in a lawsuit filed against the conference by two former executives.It’s the first on-the-record confirmation of the financial damage resulting from Pac-12 mismanagement and far exceeds initial presumptions.In January, when the conference terminated CFO Brent Willman and Pac-12 Networks president Mark Shuken for failing to properly report the mistake, it described the amount of overpayments claimed by Comcast as being “more than” $50 million.Kliavkoff’s declaration, viewed by the Hotline, is one of dozens of filings in the wrongful termination lawsuit, which began in April in San Francisco Superior Court and is ongoing....

No longer just “hippie” moms-to-be: More women delivering babies at home with midwives

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:31:48 GMT

Eileen Fruithandler delivered her second child at home with a midwife in 1992 – an era when she and her late husband faced pushback from loved ones about the decision.“I’m lying to everyone – I had to lie,” said the 66-year-old Denver resident, who splits time between Denver and Palm Beach, Fla. “It wasn’t in vogue when I did it.”In the three decades since Fruithandler’s secretive delivery, more pregnant mothers-to-be — of all ages, backgrounds and income levels — have followed her path of using midwives.The number of women who birthed at home from 2020-21 rose 12%, “the highest level since at least 1990” at more than 51,600 births, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And, from 2016-21, more certified midwives — who have faced misconceptions about their educations and care historically — have joined the profession to meet the boost in demand.“We’ve done home births in RVs,” said Jen Anderson-Tarver, a certified professional midwife at New Leaf Midwifery in D...

No. 16 Utah plagued with injuries and inefficiency on offense

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:31:48 GMT

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Injuries and ineffective play have combined to drain the life from Utah’s offense.The no. 16 Utes (4-1, 1-1 Pac-12) enter Saturday’s game against California ranked last in the Pac-12 in both passing offense (153.8 yards per game) and total offense (297.6 ypg). Major injuries to offensive linemen, running backs, receivers and quarterbacks have rendered Utah’s offense increasingly toothless as the season has progressed.“We’ve looked at it from every single angle. Are we doing something wrong in practice? Are we training wrong in the offseason?” Utes coach Kyle Whittingham said. “It could just be bad luck. It’s an unfortunate situation, but you move on.”Things bottomed out in a 21-7 loss to Oregon State two weeks ago. The Utes totaled 198 yards against the Beavers and averaged only 3.1 yards per play.“You just come to this program and losses kind of feel like the end of the world,” Utah running back Jaylon Glover said. “We have a lot to be happy about. But we’re a...

Gap between US income taxes owed and paid is set to keep growing, IRS says

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:31:48 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — The amount of tax money owed but not paid to the IRS is set to keep growing, according to projections published by the federal tax collection agency on Thursday.For tax years 2021 and 2020, the latest to receive such IRS estimates, the projected gross “tax gap” soared to $688 billion and $601 billion, respectively. That marks a significant jump compared to years past — with gross tax gap projections standing at $550 billion for 2017-2019 and $496 billion for 2014-2016.One of the IRS’s biggest challenges is making sure that people actually pay their taxes. While agency data shows that the vast majority of Americans pay their taxes voluntarily and on time, hundreds of billions of dollars in unpaid taxes pile up each year — and tax gap estimates keep getting bigger.IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel said that the rising tax gap estimates “underscores the importance” of more compliance efforts. Part of the $80 billion the IRS received from the Biden administration’s Inf...
