CSLV: Change Coming For The Newsletter

Yours truly is busy and tired. Time to shake things up a bit.

Apr 10, 2024

OF NOTE

The CSL Varsity Newsletter will look different this edition and in the near future as I reevaluate some things about the makeup of the newsletter. For anyone paying a subscription, I won’t promise the type of content I’ve put out in the past.

I just don’t currently have the time and or energy to go through results from every sport, and will try to do things a bit differently going forward. Expect newsletters that look different in terms of content, as I try to figure out how I want to do things.

Some #CSLStars for your info.
