SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Getting blown out at Green Bay following another squandered late lead the previous week against Seattle has quickly turned the San Francisco 49ers from a Super Bowl contender into a team just fighting to get back to the playoffs. If San Francisco doesn’t get healthy and eliminate the errors that led to to the Packers, the focus will turn from playoff permutations to what offseason changes are necessary. “I think everyone understands completely outside and inside what the situation is,” coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday. “That’s why the Seattle game was so tough of a loss and that’s why last night was even worse. We know what we got ahead of us. We know exactly what the playoff situation is. That is what it is. But really, all that matters is this week when you do need to go on a run and put a lot of wins to even think of that.” The task doesn’t get any easier as the Niners (5-6) get set to play at Buffalo on Sunday night. The 49ers are hoping to get , Nick Bosa and Trent Williams back for that game, but their presence alone won’t fix everything that . The defense got repeatedly gashed early and put San Francisco in a 17-0 hole before the offense even generated a first down. The running game never got going as Christian McCaffrey has looked nothing like the 2023 Offensive Player of the Year in his three games back from Achilles tendinitis. And whenever the Niners appeared to do something right, a penalty came back to haunt them. It added up to the most lopsided loss for San Francisco since the 2018 season, before Shanahan had turned the Niners into perennial contenders. “It’s probably one of the worst ones I’ve been a part of,” linebacker Fred Warner said. “It is embarrassing. You’ve got to take it on the chin, take it like a man and move on.” Despite the doom and gloom, the 49ers are only one game behind Seattle and Arizona in the NFC West standings with six games to go. But San Francisco already has three division losses and a difficult schedule featuring games against the Bills this week and Detroit in Week 17. “My optimism is not broken by any means,” tight end George Kittle said. “We still have a lot of very talented players. We will get some guys back and I still have full trust in the coaching staff to put our guys in position to make plays. I have no worry about that. But definitely an uphill grind. We’ll see what we’re made of, which I’m looking forward to.” What’s working Red-zone passes to Kittle. Backup QB Brandon Allen connected on a 3-yard TD pass to Kittle late in the second quarter for San Francisco’s only TD. Kittle leads the NFL with eight touchdown catches in the red zone, which is tied with Vernon Davis (2013) for the most in a season for a Niners player since 2000. Kittle was the only consistent part of the San Francisco offense with six catches for 82 yards. What needs help Avoiding penalties. San Francisco had nine penalties for 77 yards and they were costly and sloppy. The Niners had 12 men on the field on defense on back-to-back plays, three false starts, a pass interference in the end zone and three penalties on special teams, including a holding on Eric Saubert that negated an 87-yard kickoff return by Deebo Samuel to open the second half. Rookie Dominick Puni had three penalties after being penalized just once in the first 10 games. Stock up DE Leonard Floyd. There were few positive performances on defense, but Floyd had both of the team’s sacks. Stock down Run defense. San Francisco allowed 169 yards rushing, including 87 in the first quarter for the team’s second-worst performance in the opening quarter since 1991. The Niners missed 19 tackles, according to Pro Football Focus, as Josh Jacobs gained 83 of his 106 yards rushing after contact. Injuries Purdy took part in a light throwing session without pain on Monday and Shanahan is hopeful he can return to practice Wednesday after missing the Green Bay game with a shoulder injury. ... Bosa (hip, oblique) and Williams (ankle) also could return this week after sitting out Sunday. ... LG Aaron Banks, DT Jordan Elliott and WR Jacob Cowing all in the concussion protocol. ... RG Dominick Puni (shoulder) and CB Deommodore Lenoir (knee) underwent MRIs on Monday and the team is waiting for results. ... CB Renardo Green (neck) and LB Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (knee) are day to day. Key number 11 — The Niners generated only 11 first downs, tied for the fewest in any game in eight seasons under Shanahan. They also had 11 in the 2022 NFC title game loss at Philadelphia when Purdy hurt his elbow and in Week 2 against Seattle in Shanahan’s first season in 2017. What’s next The 49ers visit Buffalo on Sunday night. ___ AP NFL:

Greg Gumbel, the renowned CBS Sports anchor and commentator, has died at the age of 78. His family confirmed the news in a statement on Friday, saying: It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our beloved husband and father, Greg Gumbel. He passed away peacefully surrounded by much love after a courageous battle with cancer. Greg approached his illness like one would expect he would, with stoicism, grace, and positivity. He leaves behind a legacy of love, inspiration and dedication to over 50 extraordinary years in the sports broadcast industry; and his iconic voice will never be forgotten. Greg's memory will forever be treasured by his family, dearest friends, colleagues and all who loved him. — Marcy & Michelle Gumbel Gumbel served as a play-by-play announcer and studio host for CBS Sports , and previously spent years on air for NBC Sports. He won legions of fans with his work hosting coverage ranging from The NFL Today to several Super Bowls and Olympic Games. Gumbel worked for CBS Sports from October 1989 through May 1994, then went to NBC Sports as a host and play-by-play announcer before returning to CBS Sports in 1998 as host and play-by-play announcer for college basketball and The NFL on CBS. In 2022, he celebrated his 50th year of broadcasting. "The CBS Sports family is devastated by the passing of Greg Gumbel. There has never been a finer gentleman in all of television. He was beloved and respected by those of us who had the honor to call him a friend and colleague," said David Berson, the president & CEO of CBS Sports. "A tremendous broadcaster and gifted storyteller, Greg led one of the most remarkable and groundbreaking sports broadcasting careers of all time. He was a familiar and welcoming voice for fans across many sports, including the NFL and March Madness, highlighted by the Super Bowl and Final Four," Berson said. "Greg broke barriers and set the standard for others to follow. It is an extremely sad day for all of us at CBS Sports and the entire sports community. We will miss Greg dearly, and send our deepest condolences to his wife Marcy, daughter Michelle, and his entire family." Gumbel was born in New Orleans on May 3, 1946, and grew up in Chicago. He graduated from Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa, in 1967. This is a developing story and will be updated.The new higher-ed reality For last eight years, the HEC's budget has been virtually stagnant in absolute terms A few days ago, pharmacy students at Bacha Khan University Charsadda (BKUC) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa protested that, even after years, their programme has not been registered and accredited by the relevant professional and accreditation body, the Pharmacy Council of Pakistan (PCP). The reasons they gave were the university’s inability to hire the faculty members needed and acquire other accreditation prerequisites. For the last eight years, the Higher Education Commission’s (HEC) budget has been virtually stagnant in absolute terms, going from Rs62 billion in 2017-18 to just Rs65 billion in 2024-25. While that could be acceptable in the early part of that period, no sector of society has been able to escape the effects of record inflation over the last few years. From 2022-23 to 2023-24, total HEC grants to institutes/projects went from Rs56.5 billion to Rs55.8 billion. Even when adding in all other government / provincial grants, the total figure went from Rs96.4 billion to Rs99.7 billion. Obviously, this slight increase was insufficient to compensate for the effects of inflation. As a percentage, public grants covered approximately 40 per cent of the expenses of public universities in 2022-23. This year, in 2023-24, that number saw a reduction to 38 per cent. With most universities having no other sources of income, almost all had to resort to raising tuition fees. Over the same two years, total tuition fees collected went from Rs119 billion to Rs134 billion, an increase of 12.6 per cent. It has taken eight successive budgets, but universities should finally be certain about which way the wind is blowing on public support – stagnant in absolute terms, which means less than ever in terms of purchasing power and likely shrinking every year going forward. In the last few years, a new term has entered the public discourse and thinking on local higher-education funding: endowment funds. Endowment funds comprise financial assets of an institution, such as universities, that are invested in generating income to support activities and operations. What differentiates it from other pots of money a university has is that they may add to but do not touch the principal amount, only the income generated from it. Put simply, an endowment fund is a university’s nest egg and, to ensure it is not squandered away, is professionally managed. The fact that contributions going towards an endowment fund’s principal cannot be touched and will continue to do good (generate income) into perpetuity makes them more attractive to donors compared to one-off unrestricted-gift contributions that come with no strings attached that universities could spend as they please. Building an endowment fund from scratch is a long game, too long perhaps (up until now) for vice-chancellors (VCs) appointed for short tenures to take an interest in. However, the situation of many public universities is dire, and their management is turning desperate and grasping at straws to consider endowments as an option. With few exceptions, understanding how to set up, fund, and run an endowment fund is still minimal. Endowment funds are developed by running a surplus, courting alumni, and schmoozing with donors. But running a surplus is an alien concept for public universities, taking steps to maintain a relationship with alumni, erstwhile students sometimes treated with disdain, may be seen as desperate, and talking up donors for money is seen as undignified and ‘unscholarly’ (whatever that means) and they may have a point. That is why in many countries where the higher education funding landscape for universities is precarious, the people leading universities are not scholars but people who can do those ‘unscholarly’ but necessary things, know donors, can convince them to write a cheque, and can pull the right levers of power in government, politics, and industry for the betterment of their institution. Instead of doing any of that, many would rather continue business as usual - bow and roll around on the floor in some office of the bureaucracy for a slightly larger handout. As for starting endowment funds, I have heard some express their expectation that this will happen by simply being handed a big pot of money from above (the federal or provincial government), with no effort needed. Universities are the new colleges of domestic political ‘halwa’-barrel spending – every elected representative in the National and provincial assemblies is eager to boast about bringing one (more) to their district. However, establishing a functioning public university takes more than five years of PC-1 funding from the federal government. It demands continuous commitment and budgetary support for the life of the institution. The reality is that after the inaugural ribbons are cut, plaques are unveiled and the cameras leave, no one is willing to expend effort or political capital to secure the support needed to keep it operating. If further evidence of the futility of this approach is required, one only needs to direct their attention to recent reports out of KP that over a dozen universities are being denotified or merged with other universities and presumably declared their sub-campuses. A few of those universities were established as recently as 2021. However, when the Governor’s Inspection Team visited these universities in 2023, it concluded that they were neither financially viable nor providing value by delivering educational programmes. The universities had not been allocated sufficient seed funding and were unable to hire (in some cases) a single permanent faculty member. In some cases, their faculty comprised less than a dozen faculty members employed on a contractual basis, most of whom did not even hold a doctoral degree. The inspection team recommended that these campuses be denotified and merged with another nearby university. Many universities are established on a whim, rather than an unbiased feasibility study. KP will not be the last province where public universities will suffer denotifications and mergers. The funding landscape for public higher education is more-or-less equally dire for universities across the country: Public support is dwindling, the few universities that possess resources that have the potential for monetisation are, according to them, prevented by the rules and regulations that govern them, and virtually none of them have bothered to think about making institutional investments like endowment funds despite many boasting worldly and well-travelled leadership teams. I view the news that the government of Punjab will hand thousands of public schools to private partners and begin to wash its hands of delivering a public service as elementary as school education as a surrender and a harbinger of things to come. I cannot recall any other country where a government announced a surrender of such a scale. It also begs the question: what business does a government incapable of delivering school education have in delivering higher education, which is a much more complex challenge? Public support for education, and higher education in particular, is running out. If universities are relying on donor funding, many donor countries (especially those that our government works with) do not provide higher education as a right. Indeed, in many countries, the cost of obtaining a higher education for the learner is so high that repaying student loans is a lifelong effort, like a home mortgage payment. In such conditions, it becomes difficult to justify supporting subsidised/ free higher education in other countries. In 2023-24, the collective expenses of public universities added up to Rs293 billion. All public grants combined cover about Rs100 billion of that. Tuition fees brought in another Rs134 billion. All other sources of income, which include income from investments such as endowments, contributed a total of Rs37 billion. With public funding stagnant for years, there are only two other sources – investment income and tuition fees. With many universities teetering on the edge of insolvency, it is unlikely for investments large enough to generate sufficient income to materialise. That leaves most one place to go to bridge funding gaps. The writer (she/her) has a PhD in Education.

Using the five clues below, identify the company that is being talked about here. 1 I have been around for longer than 65 years, but still remain a small-cap stock. 2 My Gandhian founder, who played active role in Independence movement, was one of the first to perfect Indian jugaad into industrial innovation. In fact, a few of my brands have become generic names for the product category. 3 While my founder family’s feud with another business family was more than five decades old, most of their current multi-billion dollar wealth comes from the stake they continue to hold in the businesses of the same family they fought with. 4 From a single-digit Return on Equity (RoE) for more than a decade, my trailing 12 months profit of almost ₹500 crore is helping me move towards 20 per cent RoE club. 5 My stock has gone up seven times over the last five years, whereas it delivered negligible returns over the previous five years.
