And therefore no DFS baseball Sunday? Fortunately, that didn’t happen. For single-game contests on Yahoo, you have $75 in salary for five players. Three are flex players. Your Superstar earns you 1.5 times the points. Then, you have a Megastar, who earns two times the points. Here’s a lineup… Source link

President Joe Biden revealed a loan forgiveness plan in August that will forgive $10,000 of student debt for borrowers earning less than $125,000 per year, and up to $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients. But another component of the plan is often overlooked, Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona explained during a recent episode of “Influencers with Andy Serwer.” Income-driven repayment plans make student monthly loan payments affordable by basing them off a borrower’s income and family… Source link

For car lovers out there who follow the classic car market, the exploding interest in auction site Bring a Trailer (BAT) has, to put it lightly, been a mixed blessing. On the positive, the site has on display hundreds of classic and enthusiast cars that one can peruse and bid (or dream of bidding) on. On the other hand fans decry the exploding values of once attainable cars, that they blame on the rise of Bring a Trailer. For BAT co-founder and president Randy Nonneberg, he’s just meeting… Source link

UCLA is for real. If you still had any doubts about the legitimacy of Chip Kelly’s 18th-ranked Bruins, those should be put to rest after a convincing 42-32 over No. 11 Utah at the Rose Bowl on Saturday. Dorian Thompson-Robinson and Zach Charbonnet make up one of the top quarterback-running back duos in the country, and those two were spectacular against a strong Utes defense. Thompson-Robinson, a fifth-year senior, ran Kelly’s offense beautifully. He completed 18 of his 23 throws for 299… Source link
