  1. Yeah, he gave it to Russia by stopping all assistance.
  2. Didn't the bears just hire the lions OC?
  3. Good snow pics. Keep em coming. Warming up the beast this morning in case I needed to go somewhere.
  4. Was at DWs the Ohio State bar watching tonight. What a lame fan base.

  6. People say this and it would have maybe been true had he not just speed bumped our speed run to oligarchy. He is not going to be remembered well by history.
  7. Biden needed to run in 2016, he'd have 2 termed and been awesome. Instead we got a 1/2 term limp dick effort and a completely ruinous election because of his incompetence
  8. I just tuned in. Idk why everyone thinks lions are done.
  9. This is insane. They are treating him like property.
  10. Threads doesn't embed. They don't have an oembed function. Show me a website with embedded threads and I'll see what I can do to replicate it.
  11. Well, I guess we are stuck with him.
  12. Its been getting easier, not gonna lie my body feels a lot better too. Getting to 15/5 is gonna be a big milestone. Then when I cross the 55 a day mark will be a bigger one, then when I can do a full 50 set will be a huge one. After the 50 set everything is just bonus and about taking it slow. I'll likely add to the 2nd and 3rd sets and once a week try for a 60-70-80 type single set.
  13. Idk that people all of the sudden go out and vote. Turnout was the issue not vote splits.
  14. The transfer thing isn't that extreme. It's the normal transfer period for any college student. Now some schools could get clever and have 6-8 week periods throughout the year. Or a 12 week semester style.
  15. That's the plan. Always has been, otherwise it's just pay for play, which I do think fits under Title IX and questions whether universities need to have professional sports teams.
  16. Put it everywhere. Fuck these idiots.
  17. I'm also not mad because this adversely effects Texas. It doesn't. It's just stupid, and it's time for this kind of stupid shit to go in NCAA.
  18. No, you are just as stupid as these administrators. Does the school have to pay actors in their commercials the same? Does the school have to pay anyone who foes commercial brand work or promotion the same based on gender? No. Because it's a fucking commercial activity, it's not education related and it's related directly to their brand value and revenue generation. It has nothing to do with their athletic scholarship and they don't just get the money because they are enrolled and playing a sport. They are going to have to do shit for the money. It's not just a salary cux you are good at sports. I'm so tired of stupid people being involved in this and obfuscating it in new and dumb ways.
  19. Now you have to contingency plan and figure shit out that was not the general plan. These aren't small budgets and simple things.
  20. Well for one thing you won't have the bullshit deals that we've been seeing where guys do shit that's of no value or not public at all and get paid 300k+. You can't go hang out with sick kids 5 times for 60k a pop. That's some horseshit. You also can't go do a 5 minute podcast for 100k. These things all have real market value and they've been using the "hurr durr market is what people are willing to pay". Appearances will be more closely aligned to what people in pros or in the open market as celebrities command. What delloite is going to do is say hey we've never seen a deal for doing X that pays Y. Why does this pay that? And if they can't answer it then that deal gets tossed or if they do it anyway will get reported. The amounts aren't the problem, the quid pro quo for what they were doing for the amount is the problem. Burnt Ends is an aggressive, but fair market rate for what we get from these players and it has the highest visibility of any NIL outside of the commercials on tv and things like bijan mustardson.
  21. This is the dumbest thing I've read related to Burnt Ends, ever. This guy took a lot more money than we do for BE and didn't play much.
  22. The opposite of this is going to happen (and/or has already happened), the fact that you think this is going to happen means you are truly completely disconnected from reality. This is why the ruling is disruptive, even to Texas. There were decisions made regarding how things were going to work based on the university being able to provide the $$ as defined in the original settlement. This horseshit decision that makes no fucking sense whatsoever effectively makes NIL from a university completely ridiculous and more like a baseline salary that can be divvied up like the stipend was. NIL isn't a fucking stipend and it's not assistance, there is a quid pro quo exchange that has nothing to do with "just doing your sport". They weren't gonna sign these players to big ass fucking NIL deals and then not have them do a bunch of brand work, that's not how businesses operate and that's not how the AD was planning to operate. The AD can farm out all kinds of Arch Manning the QB of the Longhorns to whatever sponsor or big ass media outlet it wants to in turn drive businesses, sponsorships, real revenue for all it's various streams and/or participants in the brand pool. This ignores that entirely and treats it like scholarship++. It's completely wrong because it's not PAY FOR PLAY, it's NAME IMAGE AND LIKENESS, if it was pay for play then sure they could claim title IX. Instead of just moving on and letting things get to a new normal, this rulling effectively restarts everything - there's no tenable way forward for the NCAA to operate with this level of stupidity and the amount of money it is taking to field competitive D1 high revenue sports teams.
