Cass probably belongs in his own tier, since he has never lost to either Schultz (3-0) or Davison (like 30-0), and has multiple wins over Kerkvliet. He obviously doesn't belong in Tier 1, but also seems to me to have a division between him and other two in @nhs67's tiers.

My point is not that this kind of thinking doesn't exist and hasn't existed for years. Personally, I'm glad for people to be called to account, but I don't think there will be a nexus between the two things in terms of ending sports programs for something of this nature. Nicolls is an asshole as evidenced by the slumlord stuff and exhibited obvious and gross misogyny in his post, as did the other guy who called her a skank. It would be a nice world where people didn't take the money from people like that, but I don't think that's the world we live in at this point, not even close. If those guys were actually the coaches or athletes? Maybe, but even then, I just think that coach or athlete would be gone. It would have to be something widespread, or something so awful, like the Sandusky/Paterno thing. Now obviously even that didn't take down Penn State football, but football is a money sport. If something like that happened in a niche sport, I think it's possible that in that scenario, the niche sport program would be shuttered. As to me calling it out, thanks for the words, but to me, it's just the base of what we SHOULD expect from people. I root for Iowa, but it doesn't define me. I've told people before who ask me, but I do't get THAT worked up about it, probably because it isn't something that has been rooted in me since I was a small child. When Iowa loses, it's lame. I get nervous rooting for the different wrestlers, like Marinelli against Amine two years ago. But it doesn't ruin my day when they lose. The NY Giants do that to me. The Knicks do that to me. Sometimes the Mets do that to me. Maybe if I was that invested in Iowa the program, I would do what some of the fans on HR have been doing and making excuses for Nicolls, but I would hope I would still be true to who I am and what I believe is right.

Ahhhh yes, we'd add it to the long list of programs ended by having asshole boosters from whom they take money. Say, who's on that list?

I agree, Bob didn't call her a skank. He just insinuated it instead, like a real man.

No, because Anthony isn't "comited" anywhere else.

The teacher is currently being investigated by the Florida Department of Education based on this complaint. It's literally the first sentence in the article.

Threat because he's a senile puppet unable to string together sentences OR because he's a cunning political operator who has been running an international bribery scheme so well that no actual direct evidence has been brought forward?

https://deadline.com/2023/05/florida-teacher-investigation-disney-movie-strange-world-gay-character-1235367747/ Happening about 40 miles from where I sit right now, a teacher is under investigation for showing a PG movie (after all parents had signed a permission slip saying the kids could watch PG movies) because one of the characters in the movie is gay.

Eh. I think it just happened to be the picture they all took together on Mother's Day during the recruiting trip.

It doesn't even have to have been fake. It was from April 6. EVERYBODY assumed he was going to PSU right when Nagao went in the portal, but information changed over that month or so before he committed, but right beforehand, multiple people, many of them not tied to Iowa, told me that Nagao was going to Iowa. Knowing how MIneo operates, he probably had similar information. Then when it became obvious he (and the people I know) were wrong, he just can't admit being wrong.

Was saying Angelo twice intended, or did you accidentally say it twice? Either way, no, he hasn't committed. If you're asking why he's wearing an Iowa singlet, I think that's fairly common on recruiting trip, pretty sure I saw a picture of him in a Rutgers singlet.

Oh, if we're saying it's cringy for Iowa fans, I agree. My bad. I interpreted the post as saying it was cringy for the Ferrari family, and to me it's just an average Mother's Day post that way.

Even that photo didn't prove anything. Either way, he's a piece of crap.

I mean....I've been as critical of the Ferrari recruitment as anybody, but what is cringy about this?

That is the same poster who said Cass and Ayala were leaving imminently, but I've been told by PSU posters that he is a known PSU insane person/ troll formerly known as 21guns.

Meh. Not a moron. It's his life, he decides what means the most to him. Money is great, but by itself it won't buy happiness, and football had shown that it's not necessarily great for a long, healthy life after retirement.

Man. That's f u c k i n g gross.

Nagao has a vested interest in saying he didn't take the highest offer from a reputation perspective. That said, I doesn't mean it's not true. As I've stated, I don't doubt people might take a discount to go to Penn state at this point. Man....Nicolls.

Huh?

Oh man. That sucks.

Maybe it just feels worse because it's my team and i'm self involved?
