Texas got blanked while historically underrepresented programs like UTSA and Montana State both churned out a pair of draftees for the first time ever. Even the far-flung corners of the college football world produced picks: Fayetteville State, Lenoir-Rhyne, Valdosta State and Ouachita Baptist each had one. The 262 players selecting during this week’s NFL draft in Las Vegas represented 104 different universities. That streak stopped in 2014, when not a single Longhorn was among the league's 256 picks. At least one Longhorn was selected in each of the subsequent 76 drafts, a record that stretched all the way through 2013.

If you read only CBS, you would be forgiven for thinking that the name of the bill had changed: Look at how CNN, the New York Times, NPR, and PBS changed their framing of the bill: Now they've all but adopted opponents' framing as their own. The bill-which increases classroom transparency and prohibits instruction on sexual orientation from kindergarten to third grade-does not actually ban teachers from "saying gay." At first, members of the media took care to indicate that "Don't Say Gay" was just how critics referred to the bill. Even before Florida governor Ron DeSantis (R.) signed the Parental Rights in Education bill last month, news outlets referred to it as the "Don’t Say Gay" bill.
