I don’t know. That cements the big10 and sec as the two premier conferences. Not ideal for the big 10 as they’re primarily in lower growth areas. But still pretty good deal for both.

The Virgin Islands are a good ways away from us. we don’t have anything analogous to cuerta really. Distance wise it’d be more like invading one of the outer banks islands.

Yea, there are two questions rolled into one in the originally question. Which is better for academics and which is better for the health of the university. Looking at it financially and ignoring the argument that a focus on sports and the type of student that attracts makes a university less...

This scene should be played in every debate where gun grabbers are arguing for gun control.

They aren't going away, but they were grossly inflated before because everybody had money coming into their athletic department that couldn't be used to pay players directly. So everyone overspent on everything. I think you're going to see the ridiculous facilities come to an end. Certainly...

I don't think there's any doubt that the football would be a better return for the school. It sounds really odd, but when you think about it in terms of marketing and as an amenity, a winning football program is a huge amenity that attracts students. The problem is that $20M doesn't...

Yup. This is just a straight up invasion. Of course the main reason they want to invade is that Morocco not being in charge has made it nicer than the surrounding area. When they get done, they will have seized some existing infrastructure and buildings that will continue to be nicer for a...

Does the lease say you'll owe a full months rent for August?

PERS is also one of the reasons older teachers get screwed on salary. Starting teacher pay is good for a four year degree (or at least was pre-covid; not sure how they have fared with all the inflation), but they they fall behind successful people in other fields the longer they work, but the...

It's the former. I meant "falling behind" as in the lifestyle I think most upwardly mobile people aspire to now. Probably too much of a personal yardstick to be useful. Just thinking about if I had a son that had been in the workforce 5 or 6 years, where would he need to be for me to feel he...

From what I can tell, starting salaries are still pretty low in Mississippi. I do feel like if you're college educated and not hitting that $90k to $100k range fairly quickly, you are falling behind, even in Mississippi. But I also feel like you are still doing pretty well if you make it to...

You don't have to stay quiet, just don't make baseless accusations. But again, if you think you need to make baseless accusations about people to get an investigation (which is not something there is any evidence of), you could at least make them against a generalized group of people and not...

If you are referencing the big college algebra cheating scandal, the way it was told to me, so many students took that class (that was supposedly the most failed class at MSU because of a combination of almost everybody taking it an dalso so many people being left unprepared by high school) that...

Well I guess I was way off on my assumption on that one unless the googled number is incorrect. And I think you're right that we wouldn't be that different. I'd guess this board skews more towards gun owning than the general college educated population in Mississippi, but I don't know what...

You can't really be claiming that you in good faith believed I was talking about anything other than their behavior towards his friends. You're being ridiculous. Again, there is a difference between not trusting something and making a baseless accusation. They could have done all the...
