I think no third party would make the investmemt unless the government went first. You want the government along side for protection.

I have a hard time giving a crap about taxing Meta and Twitter.

So far that hasn't even happened yet as near as I can tell. So far the US has bought pesos in the open market to support the currency. Unless the seller is the Argetine government, they do not get that dollars directly. Instead they just benefit from the support of their currency. The US is also talking about buying $20 billion directly from the government (the aforementioned swap), but Trump says that is contingent on Milei's party winning the upcoming election. Finally, Bessent talked about getting third parties to also do a $20 billion swap with the government.

And Indiana just signed Curt Cignetti to a massive extension (8 year - $93 mm) so that he will not go to PSU.

Having once worked for a company owned by private equity I fear the Big Ten investment deal will make things much worse for most sports. On the other hand, it is likely to cause a shift in the balance of power between the schools and the agents (well, two agents really - Jimmy Sexton and Trace Armstrong) of college football coaches. James Franklin's total buyout is over $45 million. Jimbo Fisher's was $77 million at Texas A&M. Those are the two highest actual buyouts ever. But the list of current cost to buyout coaches is insane. Georgia - Kirby Smart $105.1 mm Ohio State - Ryan Day $79.1 Alabama - Kale DeBoer $60.8 Texas - Steve Sarkisian $60.3 Clemson - Dabo Swinney $60 USC - Lincoln Riley ??? because USC is private, but he recently signed a long term deal Guys above $40 mm include Florida State’s Mike Norvell, Oregon’s Dan Lanning, Indiana’s Curt Cignetti, Kelly, Nebraska’s Matt Rhule and Illinois’ Bret Bielema None of the 30 highest paid coaches have a buyout less than $20 mm. Ed Ogeron summed it up best: NCAA schools are wildly reckless spenders who are just outmatched when it comes to dealing with coaches' agents. With revenue sharing on the table, the money has to come from somewhere. I think private equity squeezes it out of everywhere - coaches, non-revenue sports are two big targets. It will be a miserable existence for all involved as private equity squeezes cost to take a not-for-profit business and turn it into one that profits them. All because the NCAA refused to share. They sowed the seeds of their own destruction decades ago. As an aside: Gundy got paid $15 million to go away at Oklahoma State, and among other wrestling schools Tory Taylor (Stanford), Luke Fickell (Wisconsin), and Trent Bray (Oregon State) are on the hot seat.

The roster lists him at 184 https://hawkeyesports.com/sports/wrestling/roster

was it ever confirmed who got the last word?

Word that he was not done at Iowa started filtering out in early July. Then this came out in early August: https://www.thegazette.com/hawkeye-wrestling/gabe-arnold-is-a-member-of-the-iowa-mens-wrestling-roster/ Along with this: https://www.hawkcentral.com/story/sports/college/iowa/wrestling/2025/08/05/iowa-wrestling-gabe-arnold-remains-on-hawkeyes-roster/85506222007/

This is a nothingburger. This is something the US has done early and often to maintain hegemony of the western hemisphere. It is the Monroe Doctrine. And with China working to build an economic relationship with Argentina, it makes sense to extend an economic lifeline. The only difficulty is what Trump said the other day about only doing so if Milei's party wins the upcoming election. That raised local concerns in Argentina about US interference in their elections. Well, of course, but you just don't say it out loud. The US has been buying an undetermined amount of pesos in the open market for a few weeks to support their currency. So now we use dollars to buy pesos directly from the Argentine government, and work with others to do the same. The government can then use the dollars to retire debt, or support their currency with open market purchases, or whatever it is we prefer they do. Bessent even opened the possibility that the US will buy up some Argentine debt, which has a long proud history of default. Think of it as the cost of doing business and maintaining influence in the west.

Banff is amazing. And there are a large number of Airbnb's available due to a lot of building for the Calgary Olympics so you can get good deals.

Words have meanings. Why stay ignorant?

And confirmed it with data from Donald Trump's Department of Education. Keep smacking the f'in head and you will do even more brain damage.

Not you, too. I neither quoted Harvard nor claimed they never lied. Have you become a Jimmy sycophant like @Caveira, too?

You know I have never quoted any of their lies, right? Please tell me you understand the difference between a third party lying and you using the lie as though it is true.

Tthey seem to think the way to battle the Chinese is to become more Chinese.

Don't bother answering. I already know that you accept AI answers uncritically. Big tech loves you.

You just lied about whether you lied. And then you repeated the original lie. Right out of the Trump playbook. Just keep repeating the lie so your sycophants believe it.

You absolutely do not get it. You love these dumb arguments where you lie about minutiae to distract from the point. Perhaps a trait learned from Trump and the Epstein Files. Have at it. But the point remains that student loan default problems are not as a result of gender studies as you claim.

Indeed. I think Nebraska had the second greatest performance relative to their seed in NCAA history (exceeded only, and barely, by the 1969 Iowa State team). It would be wise to assume some reversion to the mean for them this year. That may come in the form of higher seeds, making it harder to outperform. But that does not necessarily hurt their point scoring potential. Or it may come in the form of back sliding a bit, or a lot. Who knows? As for your guess that 2025 Nebraska was the first team to have five AA's seeded outside the top 8....Nailed it. Previously the most AA's from outside of the top 8 seeds was four. This has been done six times. Most recently by....2022 Nebraska.

Only if you can't read.

Is it your position that AI does not lie?

You did not even try to find out because it doesn't conform to your preconceived notion. The source is not Harvard. The source is the Department of Education who tracks this data. Now, if you want to argue that Linda MacMahon is liar I would respond that it is more likely she is just dumb. One of yours.

Do not believe me. Instead believe the official cohort default rates published by the department of education: https://fsapartners.ed.gov/knowledge-center/topics/default-management/official-cohort-default-rates-schools From the downloadable file:

AI lies waaaaaaay more than Harvard. And it certainly is in this case. Some Harvard students do have student loans. And none of them are in default. Sometimes you try too hard.

The government needs to make the schools have skin in the game. It is as easy as tying the availability of federal loans to the graduation rate of the school.
