That's incorrect as far as there being a rule against it.
I said nothing regarding there being rules against that type of conduct, and you knew that.
2 minutes ago, Huckleberry said:There is a rule against unethical conduct and violations are presumed to be Level 1 violations.
Never said there wasn't.
2 minutes ago, Huckleberry said:If you don't view what happened at Baylor as being enabled by massive amounts of unethical conduct on the part of athletic department members then we'll have to disagree.
I do view it as massive amounts of unethical conduct. You're starting to tread on a massive strawman argument.
2 minutes ago, Huckleberry said:Of course you left yourself an out by saying there are zero rules that prescribe the death penalty for such offenses, knowing full well that there are zero rules "prescribing" the death penalty for any offenses.
Again, there is a rule called the repeat violator rule which was enacted sometime in the mid-1980's. That was the rule that triggered the NCAA to cancel SMU football in 1987. And that's not an "out," either. That's a fact. I have no firsthand information regarding what the NCAA discussed regarding Penn State in 2012, but I'd bet my entire life's savings that what ultimately led them to deal sanctions instead of the death penalty was, again, the reality that Penn State was not within any sort of death penalty window. Had they been found guilty of some sort of violation regarding institutional control prior to Sandusky, then yes I'd fully expect the DP not only to be considered but also administered. Per the NCAA website:
"What is the “death penalty”?
The repeat-violator legislation (“death penalty”) is applicable to an institution if, within a five-year period, the following conditions exist:
- Following the announcement of a major case, a major violation occurs and
- The second violation occurred within five years of the starting date of the penalty assessed in the first case. The second major case does not have to be in the same sport as the previous case to affect the second sport.
-
Penalties for repeat violators of legislation, subject to exemptions authorized by the committee on the basis of specifically stated reasons, may include any of the following:
- The prohibition of some or all outside competition in the sport involved in the latest major violation for one or two sport seasons and the prohibition of all coaching staff members in that sport from involvement (directly or indirectly) in any coaching activities at the institution during that period
- The elimination of all initial grants-in-aid and recruiting activities in the sport involved in the latest major violation in question for a two-year period.
- The requirement that all institutional staff member serving on the NCAA Board of Directors; Leadership, Legislative, Presidents or Management Councils; Executive Committee or other Association governance bodies resign their positions. All institutional representatives shall be ineligible to serve on any NCAA committee for a period of four years and
- The requirement that the institution relinquish its Association voting privileges for a four-year period."

Id call the little illegal setup they had at multiple levels of the Athletic Admin and local DAs office a serious "Lack of Institutional control"
And had they been found guilty of "lack of institutional control" 5 years prior to that?
The "death penalty" isn't even the formal name of the rule. It's the "repeat violator rule," and that's exactly what it means: get caught committing the same serious violation twice within 5 years, and the program is terminated. First time offenders within the 5-year window would never even be considered for the DP, no matter how heinous the violation is.

Because the football program was running an organized mass rape coverup?
There are precisely and exactly zero rules within NCAA guidelines that prescribe the "death penalty" for such offenses, so to enforce one against them would be completely arbitrary, and you know that.

It still should be the goddamned death penalty for what happened there.

I don't know, maybe he wasn't one of those guys, but I certainly thought he was.
It's certainly not a thought without merit. His dad worked for the Second Mile, and I'd have to think that others who also did certainly knew something was up. It's not impossible to believe Matt didn't know anything, but it's damned difficult.

I mentioned the same thing a while back with regard to his accuracy. Guys trotted out his completion percentage as proof that he was accurate.I mean there's a lot that goes into completion percentage. Yes, one of them is "have a guy that can get the ball there." But you also need guys who get in the right place, guys who can catch the ball, OL who can ward off DL from knocking shit down at the line, not having to play a hell of a lot of NFL-bound DB's, having a play caller that keeps the D honest enough to where they can't pin their ears and run to spots instead of having to rely on their athleticism to keep up with WR's, etc. Sam could have a better % than Colt and I'd still be saying the same thing you are, and for that exact reason.

He’s not making them dive, go to the ground or stop to catch the ball.
That's what's driven me nuts about Sam since he started playing. I've lost count of how many should-have-been long TD's he's hit due to the WR having to make a tough catch and forgoing additional yardage in order to (necessarily) do so, or just flat out missing an open guy. It's the exact opposite problem of the GDGD era: had QB's that could hit guys in stride, but they'd always be blanketed because GD basically telegraphed their fucking routes all the time.

Ok big Internet man. Go sit in your stadium named after a racist coach. Jesus.
If you're going to try to one-up in a pissing match where you're trying to out-virtue signal another in the names of 2 dead football coaches, you need to understand that Woody Hayes once said that all the Vietnamese people murdered at the My Lai massacre deserved to die, including the women and children. He was absolutely sick. His former assistant, Tiger Ellison, had it straight about the Bauman incident. When asked about it, he said (in the most glowing way only Tiger could) something to the effect of "it didn't surprise me." Yeah, it didn't surprise him because Woody Hayes was one of those people who believed that the greatest way to demonstrate strength is by simply being a dick.

He's not stupid, just dishonest as hell.
That being said, Thomas Sowell strikes me as far more honest than you.

Makes you want to laugh and cry at the same time. The comments below the tweets are on point. My favorite: "Even when given the fact that they are in the wrong room, they still insist on ignoring the evidence. Very on brand."
Such are the lives of faith people.

I like the spread passing attack and its potential for our offense - we were best this year when we went hurry up and just let Sam and the WRs play without too much thinking - that's the basis of the Air Raid.
One thing that does worry me a bit is I'm not in love with the run scheme in most of these highlights. Harrell is no Lincoln Riley in that regard. The runs seem to be mainly some kind of outside zone or jet sweep action. It's very perimeter based. That's stands in stark contrast to Herman's love affair with inside zone come hell or high water. It will be interesting to see (if we get Harrell) whether there's a blending of our current run concepts or we go full Harrell.
They wouldn’t even consider Harrell unless they were contemplating some sort of shift/fusion.

it's a deeply corrupt organization and needs to be done away with, with no eligibility for rehire.
Not only that, it possesses precisely zero upside that could anywhere near offset said deep corruption, and only a token few of the most extreme barking lunatics would even try to argue that they have.

"In Chile, photojournalist Albertina Martínez Burgos was found stabbed and beaten to death Thursday at her home in the capital Santiago. The 38-year-old journalist was documenting repression against anti-government protesters at the time of her death, particularly violence against women. It’s reported that her recent photographs of the ongoing massive demonstrations against Chilean President Sebastián Piñera have also been stolen."

yeah, i was thinking the 2PM start will give it a ( ever so slight) college game feel. Very cool.
Oh there's far more buzz about that game than even the biggest MSU game that there's ever been. I wish I could go to this one.

Have Old High and Rider ever played twice in the same season?
No, and that town is going to be fucking lit for that. I coached at Old High in 2009, the year that both teams showed up at the game with 2-7 records. Judging by the town, the crowd size, and the crowd noise, you'd have thought both teams were 9-0. And this is a playoff game? I'd advise any WF resident who will not be going to the game to stay the fuck off of Southwest Parkway the entire day and not to dine at any of the Pioneer/Fatty McBride establishments any time after 12:00.

He’s probably going to get nailed. This announcement came just days after the US formally announced it was reversing its position on the illegal settlements. Sounds like Bibi knew he was on the way out (for good this time) and wanted to guarantee his legacy as land thief number 1 among Israeli PM’s in addition to being arguably the most vile terrorist among same.

So what's the alternative to a "populist savior"? What other kinds of leaders are there?
The hallmark of democracy is the free choice of the citizenry, not how restricted they are in their choices. Him seeking re-election is not anti-democratic.
See it’d be one thing to overwrite a constitutional provision that imposes term limits in favor of unlimited attempts to run for election, but the accusation is that he was becoming authoritarian and “leader for life” like he was Xi and actually implementing indefinite rule, and that just doesn’t hold water. It’s not authoritarian or “leader for life” to make oneself eligible for election whereas they previously wouldn’t be under previous constructs.
I’ve very often invoked the Hernandez example in Honduras, but it’s not even the mere fact that he bypassed the constitution by boldly inserting himself in the 2017 election; it was the utterly embarrassing 2-faced reaction in the US. When Zelaya called for a non-binding referendum asking the population if they would favor a constitutional rewrite, the right wing in the west couldn’t wait to accuse him of the same kind of “leader for life” nonsense thats been replayed here.
It was ok when Hernandez boldly defied the constitution by just inserting himself in an election his government forbade him to run in, but it wasn’t ok when Zelaya tried to accomplish that in a clean and legit process. He was willing to risk being turned down by the population straight up on the proposed referendum, he was willing to be turned down via the population not supporting that particular provision and he was willing to be turned down via the population voting against him even if he was put on the ballot legally, and yet so many American retards and idiots interpreted that as “authoritarian.” Hernandez completely bypassed that entire process, and those same sexually repressed and emotionally arrested screamers couldn’t be bothered to offer comment 1 about it. That’s...handy.
It’s the same here. Look, I can understand if people have reservations about pulling back term limits, but putting yourself in a position to potentially be voted out isn’t authoritarian. It certainly isn’t nearly as authoritarian as Hosni Mubārak or Xi or Augusto Pinochet or Suharto or a host of other actual Presidents-For-Life.
QuoteWhat evidence is there of Morales's government being autocratic or authoritarian?
Figureheads in the West proudly proclaim it without using “lol.”

With so much history and precedent, it's hard to understand how and why politicians keep making the same mistakes. Most of the Chilean population has memories of life under Pinochet, and those who don't have parents who carry scars.
Piñera is acting completely tone-deaf to his own country's history and culture. That's inexcusable.
South American Executive Logic:
1. Should I do this thing?
2. Depends, has it been done before?
3. Yes? Ok, how did it end?
4. Voted out of office / sanctions / civil unrest / coup / arrested on human rights violations
5. Ok let's do it.
Seriously, Pinochet is a poster child for exactly what not to do as a so-called “leader,” so I haven’t the foggiest clue why even a double digit IQ moron like Piñera would want to get into that.
