  1. How do you get from "expand wind and solar power generation" to "sending billions to China, and increasing electric bills three or four times what they are now"?
  2. I apologize in advance for this post, but... Instead of USC, UCLA, Washington or Oregon adding wrestling, is there a chance Maryland, Rutgers, Indiana, Illinois, or anyone else drops wrestling? Prior to the addition of four non-wrestling schools this probably would have been unheard of, but now that 22% of the Big Ten does not sponsor wrestling who would notice if it went to 28%? I will now accept suggestions for my penance.
  3. Sorry, just noticed the embed didn't work. Let's try this again as a link. https://pennstate.forums.rivals.com/threads/flosports-sued-in-consumer-privacy-class-action.323850/ P.S. for the record @ionel's response was the correct response.
  4. The Athletic has a good article today about how joining the Big 10 has been bad for Rutgers. According to their research, "despite astronomical increases in shared Big Ten revenue, the athletic department has racked up more than $250 million in debt." They are one of the only Big Ten schools whose athletic departments are not self-sustaining. "Of the Big Ten's 13 public universities, nine athletics departments receive minimal of no funding from the university, state or from student fees. However, over eight years of data, Rutgers has received nearly $240.8 million in direct university or state funding or from student fees." The other three in the category (Maryland, Illinois, Minnesota) received a combined $200 million net. With increased travel expenses for the likes of Rutgers, Maryland, Oregon, and Washington things could actually be worse for some of these schools on the bottom line even if the top line improves.
  5. I have read this post three times and I still have no clue what you are saying.
  6. You know that is not what I responded to. Your lie is your admission of guilt.
  7. You are a sick man
  8. While this is an interesting thread on HVI (the old BWI), I assume Flo coughing up $2.6 million will take away money that could have been spent on improving their streaming issues.
  9. And the three and a half sentences that preceded that statement were pure idiocy, so why worry about the last half sentence?
  10. The only thing I love more than a what about argument is a made up what about argument.
  11. Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds.
  12. I wouldn't dream of doing that to you. My son is an Illinois grad. I too will respond to an I-L-L. Weirdly, I am a Penn State wrestling fan, but if someone says We are to me it never feels natural to respond.
  13. I know I am cynical, but not even I thought they would say it was all about football in their press release.
  14. That is when we will be most interested in your writing.
  15. Heard Vincent Laguardia Gambini was unavailable and they had to go with Jerry Callo, with a C, instead.
  16. The problem with that is that Stanford is both an AAU school and almost the only winner of the Director's Cup awarded to the school with the most national champions (they have won it 26 times in the award's 29 year history). Yet, they are somehow, at best, the Big 10's 5th choice from the Pac 12. It's about football, and football only. But the university presidents are in Washington telling Congress NIL is the problem.
  17. Unless any of those patents are for new ways to score touchdowns, I am not sure what any of if has to do with conference realignment.
  18. Your answers are within: https://www.archives.gov/press/press-releases/2022/nr22-001
  19. Another way to think about it is that they want to create uncertainty about the actual date. It will probably be somewhere in the 2 week window, but who wants to organize protests on either side where the date of the protest is unknown? The logistics are just too difficult. People have daily lives. They can't just hit pause for 2 weeks, or be on constant call.
  20. I wouldn't read too much into those motions. Legal tactics in the service of strategy. File every motion possible, regardless of the absurdity, to extend the timeline in the belief that buying time is in his best interests.
