    Go Cats but this could be a major thing in Florida in a day or two

    FEMA offers flood insurance. Depending upon the program it can be cheap or expensive (grandfathered program = cheap). FEMA coverage is terrible in terms of what it pays for, and is limited to $250k. Excess flood coverage is available for a price (all things have a price). As stated above...

    Guess Iowa saw the result of our offensive explosion

    Canceled Summer Undergrad Summer Research Program

    The endowment gets overloaded with Private Investments - which are illiquid - while the balance of the endowment portfolio has a tough year of performance. So, less money to distribute to operations and budgets get tightened. Just a guess, but I know other schools are dealing with this issue.

    The smoke that billows out when we win at the end of games...

    1989

    I was around. There was a walk-on receiver at the time who played on our intramural flag football team. He did not start on the IM team.
