Half dozen or so of those knuckleheads on here will be doing exactly that.

Pretty elaborate strategy to expose OkState.

He lost a scramble that lost a chance to make the world team

No. The "Wall" doesn't stop a thing, it's just Govt waste. 2nd, "these people" do NOT get federal money for social progams. Either way, this "Big beautiful bill," is a DISASTER. Riiiight...because that'd be a AMERICAN CITIZEN. That's in the constitution there 'li buddy! Any source for these numbers or is this like the claim that there are "Millions" of people who are dead who are getting social security payments.

Comrade RV derails another thread to take the pressure off one of his stupid comments. - Find a nice socialist country. Bahahahahahahahahahha

At 1 min isn't a scramble?

I think you have it summarized correctly. The only thing I would add as possibilities your question is : 1) it is a grey area in the rule and Ok St compliance is willing to take the risk that is permitted and Iowa's compliance either doesn't think it's permissible or doesn't want to risk a violation on a 50/50 call. OR 2) Is Jax situation different under the rules than Bo's? Jax was going to Stillwater to train under the RTC for an event he will be competing in as opposed to Bo who may just want to go train. Also, sounds like Melvin and Keegan also wanted to go and maybe as prospective athletes that could be different that OSU paying for Jax and (potentially) his family? I don't know the rules but the nuances could be important to how each compliance department is looking at it.

He's NOT their Coach...So a "Donor" is going to be all over them? Guy plays with himself!

He’s arguing with you. His daddy.

It’s not a bad thing when done privately. Putting them on blast on a public Internet forum is what I find objectionable. Also how is Jordan supposed to feel when Bob tells the world he thinks there’s only a 50% chance he makes the team?

Bingo. Case in point. Have you ever read the old testament?

Did I hear about the Church getting attacked in Syria and it not being covered? What difference does it make? You NEVER said that! It's a Strawman argument that I apparently made up... You said that 4-5 times without articulating what the "strawman" was, but...sure. And yes, I did hear about this.

This isn't a scramble.

Which religion says you can't lie about your faith and Which one says it's ok? Which one allows for marriage of a child who still plays with dolls? I don't think you want to side with the religion of peace and still maintain credibility.

So you DIDN'T say Churches are commonly attacked and the media doesn't cover that? Ok then...I apologize. You must have forgot saying it, but for the sake of this converstion also being over, sure, your very first post isn't a post you made and I created that strawman... This must be the "strawman" that I made up, right?

I give.

I am surprised no one killed Strauss vigilante style.

What are you doing? Who are you arguing with? It's NOT mspart. You keep claiming he said something he didn't. It's not me as I've just pointed out what he said. You want to argue about YOUR perception of what "MANY Christians think?" I don't know how to do that. I WILL say...the majority of Palestinians believe in Jihad...for what it's worth...which isn't much as that's even further off-topic. You took issue with something that was never articulated in this thread.

I thought the discussion was on scrambling ability not trying to defend a shot. Once it was going to require Lee to scramble to avoid the TD, he bailed. My point about the ACL was he wasn't trying to scramble because of his knee injuries, not an excuse for him losing the position so not sure why Cardlinale's knee is relevant.

did you hear about this one today?

If I'm following everything correctly, it seems like this really just reduces to the Bassett family wanting Bo's (and eventually Melvin's) trips to Iowa City paid for as they train pre-college. It seems likely that they want this because they believe Jax's trips are paid for. To me, this raises more questions than it answers. On its face, this would be a very obvious recruiting violation. NCAA rules don't allow schools to pay for the travel of recruits back and forth to campus pre-enrollment. Perhaps that changes under the House settlement -- I don't know -- but it hasn't yet. The question for me is: how is it that Jax is able to have his trips to/from Oklahoma paid for? Is it really as widespread as the Bassetts are saying? Is there some sort of NIL exemption for it? Or are they justifying it by farming the money through RTC, e.g. saying the RTCs are merely "paying the travel costs to bring in practice partners for existing members"? My best guess is the RTCs are used as the vehicle to bypass the NCAA rule. What I can't say, though, is whether this a shady and arguably unethical circumvention of a rule, or if it's on solid legal ground and Iowa is either too cash-strapped do this or too behind-the-times to prioritize this funding allocation. I just can't quite bring myself to mock Iowa for screwing this up without having a better sense of how shady this practice is of ferrying recruits to/from the university. My guess is we'll either see Iowa change their practice to catch up with the times, or start blowing the whistle on programs that do pony up for travel costs. Objectively speaking, it's bad for the sport to have two conflicting legal interpretations on whether this is permissible, as it creates an uneven playing field in recruiting.

You make up a position I don't have then argue against it. The fact you can't see it is troubling.

Did Diakomahalis get pinned multiple times from scrambles? Did he lose a scramble and lose his chance to be a 4 time NCAA champ?

I’d be curious to see the noise in the data. That stats for every year. Also, curious on why tech falls are excluded from the data?

Fair enough, except he bailed out after the helicopter, far-ankle business. And not that it matters but both guys were missing some knee infrastructure.
