Episode description

Southern Baptists are set to return to Dallas June 8-11 for their annual meeting. The Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center is expecting 18,000 to 20,000 visitors at this year’s convention. In other news, Texas colleges could soon pay their student athletes. With the NCAA expected to end its decades-old prohibition on universities paying players directly, Texas lawmakers authored a bill to change state law and allow schools to do so. Under House Bill 126, which is awaiting Gov. Greg Abbott’s signature, colleges could enter into name, image and likeness agreements with their athletes; Dallas officials estimate they need an additional $178.5 million to build a 20-acre police academy at the University of North Texas at Dallas; and Richardson’s Nathan Liu won the 2025 RTX MATHCOUNTS National Competition.
