The virus has a 99.96% survival rate. 99.96.
But suicide, depression, domestic abuse, drug use, alcoholism & unemployment are all up because we can’t act rationally.
It’s time to fight for our students & their health & future. It’s time to safely return to play. #wakeup

- The announcement yesterday that @NCAADII is reducing schedules by 33% across the board is a major opportunity for the @NAIA. Student-athletes, take a look at an NAIA option where you get to COMPETE. You won’t be disappointed! #Dontsleeponus hdnews.net/sports/2020052…
- Student-athletes take note. Last weekend 14 @Marlins tested positive after a 3-game series with @Phillies yet no Phillies players were infected. It is your off-the-field decisions that will make or break your season. Be a good teammate. #ItStartsWithYOU
- 13 years ago today I was fired from a job I loved. I became bitter and wondered what God was doing. I landed at SEU and continue to experience blessings beyond anything I could ever imagine. Moral of the story is that in your darkest hour, remember God loves you and has a plan,
- 1/3 We’re going to have to accept two things before we resume college sports in this country. First, that for people 0-25 the fatality rate is infinitesimally low (1 in 125,000,000). Second, that because of that fact it isn’t necessary to shut a whole program down just because
- For those who still fear everyone is equally at risk of dying of the virus: The CDC now says only 6% of deaths (9,701) were due solely to COVID. 94% had preexisting conditions. I hope this info helps people of all ages feel more at ease. #factsoverfear cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr…
- Great news! @seuniversity just announced that we will return to in-person learning this fall, with classes starting September 2nd. Student-athletes, it’s time to get ready for a return to play! GO FIRE! #letsplayball #hopeoverfear
- Every athlete tested before they left for @NAIA indoor track nationals then tested twice since they got there. But we can’t have an awards podium because of Covid? When will society start to make policy based on common sense, not optics? #smh #NAIATrack
- Woke up this morning filed with thanks for Kimberly, who said “yes” on Thanksgiving Day! Can’t wait to navigate life together, come what may. God is so good! ❤️
- When the NAIA World Series Champs return home! Thank you to everyone who came out tonight. #FireFamily #LKLD
00:00 - First team meeting for football tonight! Welcome back. @SEUFireFootball! Looking forward to a great season! #FireUp
- Congratulations to @DonnieSmithSID, who was awarded @NAIA SID of the Year in Kansas City today! So proud of you, Donnie! Well deserved! #FireFamily
- We did the research... @SEUFireXC’s meet tomorrow morning will be the first @NAIA athletic contest IN THE NATION since COVID-19 hit in March! Time to CELEBRATE! #wereback #letsdothis #TimeToPlay #FireUp #FueltheFire
- Replying to @DrewWatsonAD3/3 can no longer use sport to enhance their lives & provide a positive outlet in battling depression and axiety. We talk about student-athlete health & welfare but COVID isn’t the threat to that. The unnecessary overreactions affecting these kids are. #commonsense #factsoverfear
