Orwell:
Even as it stands, the Home Guard could only exist in a country where men feel themselves free. The totalitarian states can do great things, but there is one thing they cannot do: they cannot give the factory-worker a rifle and tell him to take it home and keep it in his bedroom. THAT RIFLE HANGING ON THE WALL OF THE WORKING-CLASS FLAT OR LABOURER’S COTTAGE, IS THE SYMBOL OF DEMOCRACY. IT IS OUR JOB TO SEE THAT IT STAYS THERE.1. it will be the end of the NCAA.
2. it will be the beginning of the North Carolina Education Betting website.
3. it will be the beginning of betting on everything, just like the Euros do it.based upon talking with the lawyers in my family (2)…this appears worse and worse for us.
1. FBI. they’re in trouble in DC and are looking to make a score, or at minimum, a diversion.
2. bribe. this makes it so easy for the FBI. one employee one exchange is the requirement.
3. Federal Prison. someone will turn. then another.as of today, i am now too old.
mound visits on the scoreboard.
MLB is imitating the NFL.
“we can ruin it better than you”for four seconds i froze:
“After Penn/KU (TBS): (9) N.C. State vs. (8) Seton Hall — Nessler, Lavin and Washburn.”
the Chris Washburn flashback hit, then it faded.
packerinrussia: NCAA not doing that. they’re going 13th amendment.

The NCAA Says Student-Athletes Shouldn’t Be Paid Because the 13th Amendment Allows Unpaid Prison Laborlink:
thanks ryebread;
“agree that the committee’s “mix of inputs” leaves it open to them doing whatever they want.”
and diverting responsibility: analytics says so.
“quadrants” is code for excuse/reason the NCAA does what it will do.
the NCAA has enough analytics/numbers which will skew the possibles
further into the probables in order to drive the TV $ ratings.
i’m a financial guy. the LIBOR was/is fixed. the VIX was/is fixed.
the NCAA Selection Committee acts “as if” it was fixed.

they talk time. as much as i wish the NCAA would dissolve, this just might do it.metrics/analytics.
most sports are turning into MoneyBall.
enough games make the numbers work.
(that’s why football rules…not enough)
lately, “numbers” MLB has hit the next level.What did Roy say?
asked maverick.Williams once famously said he’d rather “beat State than eat.”
https://www.newsobserver.com/sports/college/acc/unc/unc-now/article196737339.html….Can someone please answer a very basic question: Why would a prestigious university
create fake classes if not for athletes? Just scratching my head on that one.1. for legacy admissions.
2. for prestigious professors.
3. for grant money.A. legacies couldn’t qualify without parentage, and couldn’t graduate without some “help”, so if
they have the money to pay for a full ride, and their parents are alumni who matter, then
a “paper only” class is for them. Yale used to do this for legacies and the famous.
B. big-shot professors who will not lecture more than once (to establish presence) and who will
do research only (for big money), need classes for payroll purposes at some public universities.
C. as with most things, it usually comes down to money. ex: funded by the Annenberg Foundation.
have to have a real or fake class to get the grant. cheaper to fake it.Where Were You When First Shunned The Baby Blue ?
sooo….not WHEN, nor HOW, but WHERE.
face down after getting creamed
by the UNX bullies in 3rd grade.
that’s WHERE. in the dirt.well, of course.
Gott had Girl issues at Alabama.
if he can get beyond that and COACH
then we have enough talent to finish.
bottom line: this year it’s all on him.
