The discussion examines whether the conference's multiple championship game appearances represent bad luck or something more systemic about Big Ten basketball.Coaching & Conference Leadership[45:00-60:00]Questions about the Big Ten's coaching hierarchy and whether the conference has the leadership to compete with other major conferences. Topics include:• Tom Izzo's role as unofficial conference dean• Resistance to modern changes like NIL and transfer portal• How other conferences are embracing younger, more adaptable coaches• Whether the Big Ten needs a changing of the guardThe Talent Gap[60:00-75:00]Eye-opening recruiting data reveals stark differences between Big Ten rosters and championship-caliber teams from other conferences. The analysis covers geographic talent distribution, position-specific recruiting challenges, and why the conference continues to lose homegrown stars to programs outside the Midwest.Indiana's Championship Window[75:00-End]Scott makes the case for why Indiana might be uniquely positioned to break the Big Ten's championship drought.

The Minnesota Supreme Court created doubt Wednesday over the viability of a decades-old state law that makes it a crime to possess certain firearms that lack serial numbers. In overturning a lower court ruling, a majority of justices on the state's highest court stopped short of invalidating a 1994 law entirely on constitutional grounds. But the split ruling could make it harder for prosecutors to bring the gun charges as they have in hundreds of cases per year.New security measures went into place Wednesday at the Minnesota Capitol in St. Paul.Former Minnesota Sen. Justin Eichorn appeared in court Wednesday. He faces charges of soliciting a minor for sex, after being arrested in March in a Bloomington sting operation.This is an MPR News Evening update, hosted by Emily Reese.

Mailbag Monday is here, and Jared is fresh from Bloomington, Indiana, ready to dive into your life dilemmas straight from his inbox! This week, he tackles a “petite” dating conundrum: should you keep seeing someone when the sparks (and kisses) just aren't cutting it? Plus, Jared goes off on a tangent about words, body image, and why no man wants to be called “petite” (spoiler: it hits harder than you think). We also get into the weirdness of offering friendship right after a date, and Jared breaks down how to kindly say “thanks, but no thanks.” Later, a coffee shop drama brews when a listener gets banned from chatting with baristas during a soft opening. Was the owner out of line? Jared's got thoughts, some strong opinions, and plenty of laughs in between.

I'm your host, Kate Shaw. It's almost August, and of course we're doing invertebrate August again this year. Let's get ready by talking about a few extra invertebrates this week, with suggestions from Jayson and warblrwatchr. Before we get started, I have some quick housekeeping. First, a big shout-out to Nora who emailed me recently. I just wanted to say hi and I hope you're having a good day. Next, I'm moving in just a few weeks to Atlanta, Georgia! I know I was talking forever about moving to Bloomington, Indiana, but I changed my mind. The next few episodes are already scheduled so I can concentrate on moving. I'm about 75% packed at this point and have given away or sold a lot of stuff, including a lot of books. But I have a collection that a listener might be interested in. I offered it to the patrons last month but no one grabbed it, so I'll offer it here. I have every issue of the little magazine Flying Snake ever published, 30 in all. They're a fun hodgepodge of articles, reprinted newspaper clippings, old photos, and other stuff more or less associated with cryptozoology and weirdness in general. I've decided they take up too much space on my shelves to take with me to Atlanta. If you're interested in giving them a home, let me know and I'll box them up and send them to you for free. The first person who says they'll take them will get them, but the catch is that you have to take them all. I won't just send you a few. I'll also throw in all four volumes of the Journal of Cryptozoology. This offer stands until mid-August when I move, because if I have to move them to my new apartment, I'm just going to keep them. Okay, now let's learn about some invertebrates! First, Jayson wanted to learn about a tiny invertebrate called Orthohalarachne attenuata. It doesn't have a common name because most people will never ever encounter it, or think about it, and I kind of wish I didn't have to think about it because it's gross. Thanks a lot, Jayson. It's a mite that lives in the nasal passages of seals, sea lions, and walruses. It's incredibly common and usually doesn't bother the seal very much, although sometimes it can cause the seal to have difficulty breathing if the infestation is heavy. The adult mite spends its whole life anchored in the seal's nasal passages with sharp little claws, although it can move around if it wants to. Its larvae are more active. The mite is mainly spread by seals sneezing on each other, which spreads the larvae onto another seal, and the larvae crawl into the new seal's nose and mouth. Unless you're a seal or other pinniped, this might sound gross but probably doesn't bother you too much. But consider that in 1984, a man went to the doctor when one of his eyes started hurting. The doctor found a mite attached to his eyeball, and yes, it was Orthohalarachne attenuata. The man had visited Sea World two days before he started feeling pain in his eye, and happened to be close to some walruses that were sneezing. Luckily for pinnipeds kept in captivity in zoos that give their animals proper care, mite infestations can be treated successfully by veterinarians. Let's move on quickly to an invertebrate that isn't a parasite that can get in your eyes, the ant lion! It was suggested by warblrwatchr and I've been wanting to cover it for a while. When I was a kid, there was a strip of soft powdery dirt under the eaves of the school gym that always had ant lions in it,
