The NCAA's inquiry into a sign-stealing scheme by Michigan's football program was triggered by an outside firm's investigation, which turned up videos of and documented plans and budgets for impermissible scouting of the Wolverines' opponents. A person with knowledge of the situation confirmed to The Associated Press that an outside firm provided the NCAA with evidence, including photographs, videos and documents, that initiated the association's investigation. The NCAA informed the Big Ten Conference, which then notified Michigan's future opponents. There are images and video from Michigan games over the past two seasons with Stalions on the sideline, standing near Wolverines coaches. The photos showed these people seated at games of Michigan opponents this season, aiming their cellphones at the sidelines.

Pranjali Awasthi, 16, came up with her startup while interning in university research labs. Because of the pandemic, my high school had gone virtual, so I was able to intern for about 20 hours a week. In 2020, OpenAI released its ChatGPT-3 beta, and I knew we could use it to make extracting and summarizing research data easier. My parents told me I should take the opportunity – the network alone would be worth it, so I took an absence from high school. I wanted to get a GED, but we compromised on me finishing my high school credits online, which I completed in June 2023.

Interest in the teaching profession among high school seniors and college freshman has fallen 50 percent since the 1990s and 38 percent since 2010, reaching the lowest level in the last 50 years. It’s important to note that teacher shortages are not uniformly spread across schools, districts or states. So what can be done to help get more teachers into the profession and keep them there? Cutting the costs of a teaching degree is one lever to pull, whether that’s through student loan forgiveness or college scholarships. reported that when adjusted for inflation, “the average salary of teachers has actually declined by an estimated 6.4 percent, or $3,644, over the past decade.”

Opinion | Three Generations Under One Roof

My daughter Camille was pregnant, and a routine ultrasound revealed that her baby, a little girl named Lila, was in grave danger. Lila had gastroschisis, meaning that she had a hole in her abdominal wall, and her intestines were developing outside her body. It was shrinking away, and she had only one healthy kidney left. It’d be too much to say she was “healthy.” Her intestines were outside her tiny body. Three generations under one roof.

Having a good idea wasn't enough to win those colleagues over, she said — she needed to be likable. The lesson proved valuable when Hyman came up with the idea for Rent the Runway six years later in 2008, she said. The pair cold-emailed Diane von Furstenberg, and by luck, landed a meeting. As Hyman recounted, von Furstenberg worried that allowing her clothes to be rented for cheap would "cannibalize" her consumer base. In other words, they could help von Furstenberg grow her consumer base.

Goldman Sachs' summer internship program is harder to get into than Harvard. This summer Goldman hosted 2,970 interns, about 500 of whom were placed in the investment bank, according to stats provided by Goldman. Some rising juniors are also part of the internship classes, however, including Stephenson, who applied for her first Goldman internship during her freshman year of college. Last summer, Stephenson took the subway to work, which had its share of problems. According to Friedland, there's no "busy work" or "shadowing" and the senior bankers rely on the interns to do real work.

Why so many people making $100,000 a year don't feel rich
  + stars: | 2023-05-17 | by ( Ryan Ermey | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
And if I could get to $100,000, I figured, I'd be rich, or at least comfortable, which is how rich people say "rich." Does a $100,000 salary make you 'rich'? You don't have to be an economist to know that earning $100,000 in New York City is different than earning $100,000 in Memphis, Tennessee. Because Tennessee doesn't tax earned income, a Memphis resident earning $100,000 takes home $74,515 after federal and state taxes, according to analysis by SmartAsset. How to make $100,000 feel more like $100,000
Learning the tricks of the tradeMac's wake-up call to start investing came early in his undergraduate career. "That was the one thing that opened my eyes and my curiosity and made me say, 'OK, I want to start investing.'" His interest in investing and wealth management eventually led him to a career on Wall Street. Making music as the "Wall Street Rapper," Mac began fusing the worlds he'd come to know so well: Black and urban hip-hop culture with Wall Street financial know-how. Mac adopted the slogan "Black wealth matters" to bring attention to the idea that economic empowerment is a major step toward equality for Black Americans.
Andrew Ross Sorkin wears many hats — though he's perhaps most recognizable for his role as co-anchor on CNBC'S "Squawk Box," Sorkin is also an editor, columnist, producer, author and entrepreneur. The 46-year-old journalist and New York native got his start as an intern at Inside Edition before interning at The New York Times in 1995 — all while still in high school. Sorkin went on to graduate from Cornell University, contributing stories to the Times throughout his college career. And in 2001, he started DealBook, an online daily financial report published by the Times that he still edits over 20 years later. These roles all differ substantially, but there are three key attributes that help Sorkin excel in them: persistence, listening and understanding.
