The article states pretty clearly that PUF funds can not be used to offset tuition. Also what the article completely misses is the fact that this is the endowment for the UT SYSTEM of which there are 250,000 students. Harvard has 22,000.
. The state constitution allows for those mineral funds to be spent on capital expenses like the construction of classrooms, hospitals and labs, all of which helps keep pace with increasing enrollment. For most of the schools, the funds cannot be spent on daily operations or providing tuition assistance and scholarships.
We get AUF funds in our budget. Or we used to before they were repurposed for student support recently. -
Certainly not a bad idea, but it would be nice to see schools outside of Austin and UTD rise up the rankings too. I know yall will never be the UC system, but there are far too many resources available for some of the system schools to do as poorly as they do. We have a lot of well performing kids in this state that might not get into UT Austin but that need good options.
Hey, we (or Aggy) may try to elevate SFA soon…does that count? -
About a month ago we were having a team building afternoon at punch bowl social at the domain. Very soon after we got there they started evacuating the place and people were running from the bowling lanes. The staff came from the maintenance area behind the pins crying and screaming. They had just seen their coworker get beheaded by the pin reset machine. All of our future events with punch bowl have been canceled and apparently that location will be closed for some time. I don’t know if they are back open yet or not.

OB is saying he apparently did not have a pleasant reaction to having a boot put on his car.
Wonder if he drives a black truck. I saw one was booted in Brazos earlier this week. Those guys drive crazy in that garage and do not care about busting through the exit arms either. Then there’s the white car that sometimes has a couple of people in the trunk coming from the parking area in front of pac where the guys go to eat lunch. It’s a wonder one of them hasn’t been killed yet. -
Florida forest service is on site to relieve crews at the wimberley fire. No structures lost yet as of the judge’s update earlier this afternoon. Though he showed in his video how close one house got to being burned. It went right up to the deck and foundation.

Good size fire on 165 between Dripping and Blanco. Homes being evacuated. Dripping Springs is prohibiting all outdoor watering to help with supply to fight the fire.
Saw another good size fire east of SH 130/Austin area a couple of hours ago, but not seeing any news reports of it.
It’s showing on zoom earth now. Check out the Fredericksburg fire. Smoke blowing for over 100 miles.

Comanche Peak looks like it may be taken out of the grid in the very near future. The plant itself I don't think is in any danger but the transmission lines there might get caught up in that Chalk Mountain fire. That's not going to do any favors to an already tight grid.
There has been a new widened fire break put in place on the north and east side of the fire as well as “many” rounds of the orange fire retardant from plane drops. They are throwing all resources into keeping it from spreading that direction. -
At what point do we start worrying about the fires headed right at the two reactors in glen rose? Too late? Prepare our anuses?

He’s not white in the classical (racist) sense and he’s not liberal per posts upthread.
I took the question as level of politician and level of care by the Japanese populace. Not necessarily aligned with politics and same color. -
I'm not up to speed with politics. Who would this guy compare to on the American side? A former president?
White Obama. -
Why is Jerry Meyers at MTSU? 17 all Americans at South Carolina. And he goes to MTSU as an assistant?

Showed it to my cousin and he said, “Late May? Holstein cow with a stillborn hanging out. They’ll roam until they die somewhere.”
Me: ok then. Sorry I asked. Back to watching this wonderful baseball game.-

So where does everything think Ivan gets drafted? I don’t think he falls lower than the 2nd. Also got the feeling he can play 3rd and right if need be. And of course DH. Would love to see him have a beast of a career.
mlb is filling up with horns. Kody, Dillon Peters, Knebal, Curtiss, Belt, Milner and Payton. Ivan, Madden, Hansen and Witt will be there soon. Faltine, Hodo and Silas may be able to make it to the show. No idea what kind of numbers Hamilton, Kingham and Shugart are putting up, but wouldn’t be surprised to see them in the show at some point. Going to Omaha and have the mlb and minors littered with horns. The way it’s supposed to be
He’s not even in the top 100 draft prospects according to most sites. MLB draft is not like nfl. I don’t even try to guess where someone like Ivan might go. Here’s the mlb.com draft stock write up.
couting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 60 | Run: 30 | Arm: 50 | Field: 40 | Overall: 45
“Melendez starred for two seasons at Odessa (Texas) JC before transferring to Texas in 2021, when he led the Longhorns with 13 homers, including a ninth-inning game winner off eventual national champion Mississippi State at the College World Series. Scouts viewed him as a one-tool player and his bonus expectations didn't line up with their evaluations, so he dropped to the Marlins in the 16th round and declined to sign. He has been phenomenal as a fourth-year junior and has a chance to win the NCAA Division I triple crown and lead in all three slash stats after finishing the regular season at .421/.531/.941 with 28 homers and 85 RBI in 54 games.
With the strength in his 6-foot-3, 225-pound frame and an uphill right-handed swing, Melendez is geared to drive balls in the air and produces plus-plus raw power that plays from foul pole to foul pole. He doesn't have standout bat speed, so there are some concerns about how he'll handle quality velocity against more advanced pitchers. He's doing a much better job of controlling the strike zone this spring and has improved his ability to do damage against breaking balls and changeups.
Melendez still doesn't offer much value beyond his bat and a righty-hitting first baseman is the least attractive profile for pro teams. He's a well below-average runner with limited range and an average arm. He's an adequate defender at first base and his only other alternative is DH.” -
Hey, is it on espn2?
For now -
ESPN2 now. Ok then.

ESPN drunk. Go home.

Seriously, who is in charge of the cameras?
I’m squinting more than the catcher trying to see this shit. -
Ump wanted to ring him up so bad even after the review.

It has always offended my OCD that there's East Carolina University and there's Western Carolina University. FUCK ECU!
And the Middle Carolina Rebels. Fuck them too. -
The greatest pitching performance I have ever seen at any level.
Two simultaneous 9+ inning perfect games? Yes, me too. Best I’ve ever seen.-
