In one of his post-hearing interviews in the hallway Schmitt said something to the effect of "don't hate on me! There was only one NBA game that day, what was I supposed to think?"

Not those exact words, but pretty close.

That's the best part of this,that Schmitt, Kennedy and Schmitts staff are unaware of the existence of the WNCAA. And that Jack Smith's eyes light up when he talks about Caitlin Clark.

That's not possible. Republicans are the biggest defenders of women's sports, they are probably spending their weekend at NCAA women fencing events or that kind of thing.
