The majority of teenagers aren’t going to care. They’ll play for their favorite school or NIL.

 

[The Peeper]

They can either play for their school or lose the NIL and scholarship. It's a free country let those that want to walk, walk...........

 

[maroonmania]

So only black athletes? Black students are fine to keep going to these universities?

 

[Dirty Dirk]

You're surprised they're racist?

 

[TroyMcClure2025]

The stupidity is only surpassed by the fatigue.

I think Mississippi State should put out a Statement that we do not support the republican gerrymandering. We will not stand by and let Alabama, Ole Miss, Texas, Auburn, Tennessee, and Georgia push this racism out. We hate racism so much we brought President Grant’s library to Starkville. The man who ended the South’s racism and the saw the Klan was put to an end. They need to come to a school this hates racism like MSU.*** This ad was payed for by the NAACP

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

Bo Bounds gotta be screaming "Gimmick Infringement"

 

[skydawg1]

This too shall pass.

 

[OG Goat Holder]

Nobody cares

Too much money for ideals to play a part, real talk

 

[Xenomorph]

So.. 2 thoughts..

1. Are Universities charged with overseeing the perceived fairness of voting districts?

2. Does this mean we’re going to suck in football now?

Did I miss the hand wringing about Gavin Newsom gerrymandering 6 previously republican districts to likely select democrats in this mid-term.

alright with me but not wth thee is the Democrat motto.

 

[TroyMcClure2025]

Does this mean we can have our legally voted on emblem back? You know, the one stolen by our legislators and Tater. I thought THAT was supposed to bring us football nirvana and economic bliss? All I’m seeing is continued on the field and data centers. Thanks, Tay Tay!

Let's see if SWAC schools can match the NIL of SEC schools.....

The existing gerrymandering is a terrible deal for everybody. Even if you assume that black people are a monolithic voting block, having districts like Bennie Thompson's means their only say is in the primary, and a challenger has to overcome party politics to beat him, which is easier than it used to be but still pretty damn hard. So they get a representative that is barely beholden to his voters (and it shows). If they were spread out among competitive districts, they would actually be a voting bloc that had influence in several different districts and representatives would have an incentive to court their vote, even if they weren't the core constituency. Noncompetitive districts do not create good politicians. It's why the house has such a higher percentage of crazies. If you look at the dumbest and/or most bat **** crazy senators, they tend to come from non-competitive states. The quality of Mississippi's senators has not gotten better as we have become more red.

i'm curious why all these areas who are threatened by gerrymandering don't create articles of secession and secede from those respective states creating new states.

It seems to me that some basic universal districting laws would help make it fair. For statewide positions, use some % of population/geography line and be done with it. Scale it down to whatever smaller races make sense. For example:

Congressional representatives: Start at the Gulf and draw a line across the state when you hit 25% of the population, lather rinse repeat. Done.

 

[Curby]

Just a quick look at all the New England states....several of which are 40+% Republican....

they have zero conservative representation (House OR Senate) due to gerrymandering.

Nobody has cared about that for years.

This is no laughing matter, my friend.

We are about to lose all of our best athletes to JSU, Valley, and the 'Corn.

It's time to bring Sylvester back.

That’s the way it should be but well…we know why it isn’t.
