The rules were to create a fair playing field and eliminate impermissible benefits. There is nothing morally bankrupt about that. As some schools got better at hiding stuff the NCAA created rules to give it more power to find and root it out. It got to the point of too much overreach and an abuse of power. The pendulum swung in the wrong direction too far because schools like USC and the SEC tried to get around the rules. The old strict rules kept it more simple to administrate but it was still impossible.
Now we have a new situation where overly litigious schools and state governments that like an unfair playing field for their teams, and it’s become impossible to administer any rules for fairness. Having athletes transfer schools every year based on NIL inducements may be legal according to the constitution but it is not sustainable.
And should TatGate’s vacated wins be reinstated? Tressel honored? What’s good for Reggie is good for Ohio.
I don’t agree with this. I’m tired of seeing media pressure being used against institutions to force them to make stupid one off decisions. Wouldn’t a Michigan fan agree after last year?
But if you support Reggie, then trading signatures for tats was far less than what Reggie did.
There are a lot of lesser scandals than Reggie Bush’s payments. They were all at a time when the rules were different. But those those were the rules. let’s not waste our time rewriting all the record books on trivial stuff.
When you select a photo and take the next step it doesn’t insert the url file name in the code. It should be an easy fix if they just take a look at it
I read elsewhere that Wolf is really 6’10” and a better fit at the 4, except here on MGoBlog. I have no idea either way but it’s odd MGoBlog doesn’t mention his size and says he’s not at all a 4.
This was an image i had uploaded to mgoblog a few days ago for the Phoenix Coyote thread.
I took the code that Blue@lsu shared with me and first removed and tested what looked like extra code. Then i took the remaining code and just replaced the source url from giphy with the source url for my photo which I had uploaded using the MgoBlog file manager. You can find the url for the uploaded photo when you click the photo in the file manager.
After I was done, the code for this photo ended up as:
I could play around with or maybe remove the height and weight to make it fit better Not sure the other stuff is needed ether.
It wasn’t easy doing it on my iphone. I’ve never coded html.
Edit:
Anyone wanting to post a photo should be able to replace the url part of the following with the url for their photo. And if they upload their photo to MgoBlog I’ve provided instructions for finding that url.
The NCAA demanded years of Harbaugh’s personal texts and Mars rightly told them that was outrageous under any law. That’s not Harbaugh leveling up. That’s an NCAA continuing to act as though it has the unilateral power of Joffrey Baratheon.
Mars says he filed a long brief with the NCAA on behalf of Harbaugh and has been ghosted ever since. The NCAA can’t come up with any reasonable justification for their behavior in response so they just move forward with their Kangaroo Court.
The NCAA threatened Mars and Michigan because they didn’t like him publicly pointing out their ridiculous behavior.
Conner was clearly at Central and clearly freelancing (the dude was hard up for money and constantly trying to find ways to make more by repairing vacuum cleaners and buying prairie land in Colorado) at Central yet people want still suggest otherwise.
And finally the #1 insane thing, Nittany Fan suggesting the letter mentioned by Mars was a fabrication.
Mars said he filled a long brief with the NCAA on behalf of Harbaugh and they NEVER responded.
Mars also said one of the NCAAs demands was for years of Harbaugh’s personal texts. Mars rightly advised his client he didn’t need to respond. Mars had compared the demand to what a DA office or law enforcement can do under the law and called the NCAA’s demand outrageous.
Mars’ statement about hearing the bus tires go thud thud thud (or something like that) was him saying that Warde basically backed the bus up and drove it over Harbaugh in order to settle with the NCAA.
In other words, Burgergate is over for Mars and Harbaugh. The COI, and it’s leader who works for USC and who has publicly stated he’s still upset at what the NCAA did to USC, can make whatever threats and public announcements they want but Harbaugh doesn’t and shouldn’t care.
Can no longer insert images. They upload in the file manager but they don’t insert anymore. The file name doesn’t show up in the source code after inserting
He pretty clearly implies they should be paid out of all the revenues generated by the networks, conferences, and schools.
Also, NIL was litigated to allow athletes to get paid for endorsements. That alone made sense. Denard should get paid for being on the cover of EA Sports.
What NIL has become [creating collectives that get around the intended rules and pressure fans to make donations that can be used to retain current players (ok) and as recruitment pay for play (which was against the rules but is done by a fast growing number of schools)] has all kinds of problems.
According to Greg Roman the decision to take the Chargers job was after they realized they could live in a RV by the beach.
“Here’s the story,” Roman said. “Jim and I started talking, and I said, ‘You take that Chargers job, man, and I found this RV place right on the beach.’ He goes, ‘Really? Jim Rockford. You’re Jim Rockford. I want to be Jim Rockford. We’re doing this thing.’”
When Harbaugh pulled up stakes and headed for his new house, he gave Roman a stack of Rockford DVDs for film study.
My apologies to NJ people but I won’t be conceding this point.
There are a lot of unhappy people in NJ who want to spread their unhappiness to others when out in public.
When I moved to NJ from out West, it seemed absolutely no one had heard of a zipper merge in NJ. Where I came from it was the norm.
There are also the 200 year old jug handles required to make a left. Just about anyone is angry when getting off a jug handle.
I was only in NJ for a few years but when I moved to my next city one state over, a taxi driver stopped in the middle of traffic congestion and waved me over in front of him when I was stuck behind a delivery truck. I felt like I moved to heaven. Since you can eliminate NY, it should be easy to guess where that was
Drivers who don’t realize they have a 3000 lb car and then one brush with a bicyclist on their little bike often means death or serious injury.
Drivers who don’t know the laws and that bicyclists are not only required to be on the road but they get a full lane when you pass them just as if they are a car. (In states I’ve lived in) For their safety
Drivers who try to illegally pass a biker on a two lane road with a double yellow.
Drivers who illegally try to pass a bicyclist when they can’t see the opposite traffic and risk the bicyclist’s life to save a few seconds or minutes. (And in that split second decision there is no way you’re going head-on into a car when you can just kill the cyclist).
Drivers who always feel like they are in a hurry and are mad that everything seems to be in their way, including bicyclists, cars going the speed limit in the right hand lane, and pedestrians, when they drive but only end up gaining 30 seconds before they have to wait for all the other cars to catch up at the next stop or light.
The driver who decided he needed to pass a bicyclist on a windy, neighborhood, two lane road with blind turns, only to park around the next turn, thus risking the bikers’s life to save two seconds.
The large truck that came out of a construction site and ran me off a straight two lane road, with no traffic in either direction, with no paved shoulder and just a drop off the edge of the payment, with a stop light a quarter mile (2 min) ahead, and who could have passed me by switching lanes, but who instead conceded no space between his truck and the edge of payment. (I almost caught that fucker before the light changed and was ready to drag his ass out of the cab.)
Drivers who illegally roll through a stop sign when pedestrians are still in the crosswalk.
Seriously, I know a lot of bicyclists critically injured by idiot drivers in a hurry or who don’t follow the law.
Drivers who drive in a hurry but save zero time. Never drive in a hurry.
Why can’t we celebrate the accomplishments of Caitlin Clark and all she has done for women’s basketball without bringing hate of another coach into it or without turning it into a fab five Michigan thing.
What specifically is political about the article? They identify a number of positions with regard to whether or not free speech is ok at all venues, report those positions from different sources, that Ono may have put out a plan too hastily, and that he is reconsidering the policy. It seems you just don’t like the reporting of some information that you disagree with.
I will add that there is a difference between a legitimate news organization with an independent editorial board and independent (public, trust, or similar) ownership like the Guradian vs other media which may look like a news organization but isn’t. So I would add that simply finding another article isn’t enough.
This particular Guardian article at first seemed a little biased, but after looking through it again, there is no opinion added, they do present the University’s side as well, and they point out the University is rethinking the policy after getting more input.
The board rules which have been in place since 2009 have said anything related to UofM is on topic. It seems that policy has worked fine for a long time. LSA killed a thread but kept the post where users crossed the line. Also, as LSA said, many topics can be and have been politicized which were never before political. LSA killed it simply without a lot of effort. Why do you feel it necessary to keep arguing your points that change is needed and create more work for LSA to keep responding. And now you want an owners and management meeting.

Thanks internet guy. “He can’t defend at the 4” sounds like the right answer.
So now if he is ranked higher in the portal than Vlad and they both play the 5, why is it the assumption that Vlad would start?
Valid question, I’d need to google dig it back out.
Edit: 247 says it may be embellished. Somewhere else I saw 6’ 10”
I hope they make the Olympic team

Blue@, can you post what the code looks like after you include the embed code for a photo?
Is he a savior or a hitter?
As a RB, I guess he could be both with either a long run for a winning TD or a goal line stand.

So Caps have to lose and we have to win?
What is the tiebreaker?
It’s a good thing we, and the campus, dodged a bullet.

Too bad they can’t be the Wiley Coyotes
He said everyone should share the revenue with the players because that’s who people come to see.
It’s an interesting comparison.
Pro sports teams and broadcasters make millions. The same for college.
Pro athletes get paid for endorsements. The same for college.
Pro fans pay for tickets and buy branded material to support their team. Same for college.
Pro athletes negotiate salaries and share in the millions of profits. None for college
Pro athletes can have a union and pensions. None for college
Pro teams have salary caps and drafts for fairness. None for college
College fans get pressured for donations so their team can compete because there are no parity or fairness rules currently enforced. None for pro.
College fans and athletes are still being screwed.
Edit: I almost forgot. Pro teams are run by machiavellian narcissistic owners. Same for college conference commissioners.

I guess that’s ok since the price of a cup of coffee has gone up by the same percentage.

When there were 4 channels and someone else had control over the clicker
It’s amazingly surprising and unfortunate how often this happens.
Your daughter is awesome!
Oh…
Sounds like NJ drivers.
Oh yah, NJ drivers
Nothing worse than shitty drivers. Anyone who gets in a car and feels like they are in a hurry is the equivalent of a terrorist with an assault rifle.
I am so sorry. I just returned someone else's cart that they left hidden in Bolivia.
Idiot drivers. More specifically:

It seems Wolf could start and May is still looking for a PG
