x/mark-carney
— 5d

x/conner-weigman
— 1d
Texas Tech’s roster-spending push remains front and center as it reportedly spent around $5 million to keep Brendan Sorsby and has long been a leader in the Big 12, though recent estimates show BYU now closer to the pack and Tech not necessarily the most expensive. The narrative blends a high-stakes program-building push with a high-profile showdown against Houston, a test of whether Tech’s 2025 breakthrough can translate into sustained national power amid coaching tensions and fanfare about the program’s spending and strategy.

Niger Appoints Military Chief After Mutiny
x/abdourahamane-tchiani
— 6d
Niger’s military government led by General Abdourahamane Tiani has appointed Brigadier General Mamane Sani Kiaou as chief of staff of the armed forces, replacing General Moussa Salaou Barmou, in a reshuffle following the August mutiny. The changes also elevate Abdourahmane Abou Zataka to army chief and reflect a shift toward closer ties with Russia while moving away from Western partners.

Appointing a new chief after the mutiny is a logical move to tighten control, though leaning toward Russia risks losing Western support that could aid development.
