I take back my description of you as ignorant. You are a moron. Jordan Holm is not potentially innocent. He is guilty. Since Double Down is taken as a nickname we will have to go with Double Dumb for you.

If by little you mean zero, you would be correct. To me that means neither he, nor his staff, did any work.

So you are supposed to be there 29 minutes early? Sounds like a waste of time.

There already is a salary cap. It is zero. And the President of the NCAA is lobbying hard to keep it that way. He is on Capitol Hill asking Congress to pass a law, once and for all, declaring athletes are not employees.

Jordan's spokesman said he wants another vote today.

I have always wondered about stats like that. How are net profits determined? How are halo effects like increased enrollment, increased contributions to the endowment, and other benefits accounted for? Is it really about profit or about revenue? Do administers get paid based on profit or revenue? What does it even mean to have a profit within a non-profit (ish) institution? Certainly school Presidents treat football like it is massively profitable.

go get em, coach.

I am curious who voted 1 in the poll. I think it was after the first vote was known to fail. I want to take the other side of all their action.

I had someone who worked for me that put her degrees in her user name for our internal chat system. XXXXXJDMBA. I thought that was a bad sign. It was a bad sign.

depends on no shows and those who don't vote as it is the majority of "votes cast for a person by name." Boehner was elected without a membership majority in 2015. He got 216 votes when a majority of members would have been 218.

TBD

It is rarely unanimous, but it is also rare that a second vote is needed no matter the size of the majority. Pelosi's last election to Speaker, when Democrats held a similarly slim majority, there were two votes for others. " Multiple roll calls have been necessary only 15 times since 1789; and, at the time, not since 1923 (68th Congress), when a closely divided House needed 9 ballots to elect Frederick H. Gillett speaker" So McCarthy and now Jordan are unprecedented in the last 100 years.

it's a NY thing.

Ahh, so you are hearing from the moderators about your lunacy and that is the reason you want to stop. But not before issuing one more fantasy. There used to be a guy on here call Dan. I used to call him Double Down Dan because no matter how many times he was shown that he was wrong (including on simple things like math), he would never fail to double down. His favorite technique was "if that is true" when he was shown he was wrong. You remind me a lot of that guy. And not in a good way.

Total so far is 13 votes for someone other then Jordan (5 for McCarthy, 4, for Scalise, 3 for Zeldin, 1 for Garcia), 1 absent, 4 did not vote.

1 vote down. 8 Republicans do not vote for Jordan. Edit: Now up to 9

I have gone to habanero hot sauce on my tacos. Very small amounts, though that has increased over time. I cannot eat American tacos any other way now. For Mexican tacos it is still their roja sauce, but I am not sure what pepper is in that.

Adam Kinzinger was my guy.

27 times hotter than a habanero? I like spicy, but this is madness.

To paraphrase Terry (Tom?) Brands, Jim Jordan loves politicians, but he doesn't love legislating. I just read that in 16 years Jim Jordan has not gotten a single piece of legislation signed into law. The Center for Effective Lawmaking ranked him 431st out of 435 Congressmen in the last Congress. His bi-partisanship scores are in the same range. Only 3 members are below him. And this is the best speaker candidate my fellow Republicans could come up with?

When I started doing triathlon relays (that's right, no running, no cycling, just the pure unadulterated good stuff), my pre-teen daughter banned me from ever wearing a speedo again. At least in competition.

Add to that (or subtract really) that D3 athletes do not get athletic scholarships, just needs based aid like all other students.

Related question: Will the Freedom Caucus adopt an "eat their own" stance and continue to demand a single rep can call for a motion to vacate?

NCAA President Charlie Baker wrote an op ed for The Athletic yesterday on the need for comprehensive federal legislation covering NIL. His big ask was for Congress to state that athletes are not employees: "we need Congress to affirm that student-athletes are not employees. Without that action, courts may implement one-size-fits-all mandates that require all student-athletes across all sports and all divisions receive identical benefits. Providing the same benefits to a Division I football player whose program generates enormous revenues and a Division III swimmer whose program generates none would be untenable. Maintaining a full roster of programs would be challenging, and women’s sports and Olympic sports would be harmed most." The obvious answer is we all need to start buying tickets to D3 swimming events, demanding ESPN pay big money to televise those events, and buy our favorite swimmer's speedos to wear while watching those events. Seems like a thinly veiled threat aimed at all Olympic sports, like wrestling.

Saying you are ignorant is not an insult. It is an accurate description. While you may find it insulting, it is also curable. Work on the cure rather than focusing on your hurt feelings. Kind of like wrestling.
