In a historic move that underscores her ongoing commitment to advancing HBCUs, philanthropist MacKenzie Scott has donated $50 million to Winston-Salem State University. This remarkable gift not only marks the largest single donation in the university’s 133-year history but also brings Scott’s total giving to the campus to $80 million—following a previous $30 million gift in 2020. Most of the $30 million Scott donated went to founding Winston-Salem State’s endowment. The remaining amount is for real estate property for the university. The increase in property assets helped manage the increase in students staying on campus while also helping support growth at the university both academically and student-wise. With this unrestricted gift, leadership at Winston-Salem State has already started to create a plan that further supports the university’s goal of long-term student success. “This gift is truly life-changing for our students and our community,” said Chancellor Bonita J. Brown. “MacKenzie Scott’s confidence in Winston-Salem State University enables us to transform lives, not just today, but for generations. Her investment empowers us to make a high-quality education accessible, affordable, and within reach for students who never believed college was possible, and for that, I want to say thank you. We are all profoundly grateful for her choosing to invest in the future of our students and this institution.” Although the university has received this generous gift from Scott, they are still asking for gap funding to help with student expenses. Gap funding typically goes to help students with small balances, usually $200 or less. This funding allows the university to quickly assist students in need. While Scott’s donation is unrestricted, gifts of this size take awhile to mature before the university can generate spendable earnings. Winston-Salem State plans to share its plans for its newest donation in the upcoming months. This is Scott’s third donation to an HBCU within the last month. Earlier this month she donated $80 million to Howard University and the Howard University College of Medicine. Her third donation to the Washington, D.C., HBCU in five years. Last month, she donated $63 million to Morgan State University, her second donation to the university in five years.

As the passing game of the New York Jets is led by quarterback Justin Fields, there’s no doubt that it has been a frustrating season for the team and the player overall. With the Jets’ 27-14 loss to the New England Patriots on Thursday, Fields would catch a stray from sports analyst Colin Cowherd. The topic of the conversation was around if Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel is the reason for Drake Maye’s success, which Cowherd argues. He would say that if Fields were the quarterback in New England, the results would be vastly different. “Mike Vrabel’s not winning that game last night with Justin Fields as his quarterback,” Cowherd said. “Because it was a reasonably close game, but Drake Maye made six or seven decisions in throws that are incredibly high level. That kid is so good on first down, it’s amazing. He had a jump pass, couple sideline throws. That’s the difference.” "Mike Vrabel’s not winning that game last night with Justin Fields as his quarterback."@colincowherd is impressed with how quickly Drake Maye is putting it together in New England pic.twitter.com/GkvIhtIG0R — Herd w/Colin Cowherd (@TheHerd) November 14, 2025 In the game, Fields threw for 116 yards with one touchdown pass as he completed 15 out of the 26 passes he threw on Thursday night. Compared to Maye, he had another productive game, throwing for 281 yards and one touchdown pass, completing 25 of his 34 passes thrown against the Jets. However, the blow to Fields from Cowherd would soften a bit as he called out the offense for playing “Jurassic” or like a “service academy.” “You watch the Jets offense, it looks like a service academy,” Cowherd said. “They run on third and eight. That’s like Jurassic.” At any rate, New York is currently at a frustrating 2-8 on the season, looking to get back in the win column on Nov. 23 when the team takes on Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. So far this season, Fields has thrown for 1,259 yards with seven touchdowns and an interception.

The New England Patriots are the first team in the NFL to win nine games this season. Head coach Mike Vrabel was overjoyed with his team taking down the Jets on Thursday Night Football. Drake Maye, TreVeyon Henderson, Sefon Diggs, and the Pats’ defense played very well all game long to win 27-14. The Patriots have sent a message with eight straight victories. They believe they are a threat in the AFC and must prove it again against the Buffalo Bills after their bye week in Week 15. A win against Josh Allen and the Bills should give the Patriots the AFC East. ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky praises a ton of quarterbacks in the NFL. As a former QB in the NFL, he is a big fan of how a lot of today’s quarterbacks have taken from past players, and he points out the similarities. In this case, Orlosvky sees a lot of Andrew Luck in Drake Maye. “He is so impressive moving in the pocket. … It’s very Andrew Luck-like right now.”@danorlovsky7 praises Drake Maye for his movement in the pocket pic.twitter.com/AGYIyP2hNB — NFL on ESPN (@ESPNNFL) November 14, 2025 “It’s really interesting to watch Drake Maye play right now,” he said. “It’s because, coming out of school, I don’t remember anyone talking about how impressive he was in the pocket, pocket movement. I don’t know the last time we saw a young quarterback move in the pocket like this. I would go back to maybe Andrew Luck. Because in college, (Maye) didn’t have to do it. It was an RPO offense; it was catch and throw. He is so impressive moving in the pocket. I think that is one of the things that has made the passing game scarier. It’s very Andrew Luck-like right now.” Maye is playing out of his mind right now. He leads the league in passing yards after TNF with 2,836 and is tied for 2nd in TD’s at 20. His 74.1 QBR is 4th in the NFL. The Pats will now have 10 days of rest before taking on the Cincinnati Bengals on the road.
