Didn’t he say it was like a team thing (a not-even school-affiliated football team, IIRC)? The parents wanted a bunch of them to stay back so the team could be really good?

I said in a different thread and maybe I’m misremembering but I thought in 2020 someone pointed out that you can be enrolled while taking an ORS. Maybe Fix, not sure. …and I knew the “world champ” was talking about Messenbrink, the Sidakov comment was just an attempted joke…

And another…

Dang, Sidakov is gonna wrestle in the NCAA this year???

Yeah I don't believe McKenna had graduated, as I know there were several folks questioning the transfer for academic reasons. But Woods and Griffith did.

Gotcha, maybe he was only saying he was not eligible for purchase incentives which were only for faculty

But @Idaho just said “football programs,” not Power 5. Even if you stick to FBS, it’s more than just the Power 5 (for now at least).

Has anyone flipped commitments from Stanford to UNC? Can’t remember

I thought Koll specifically said he did not get any housing incentives from Stanford?

Saw this in the news today and thought of @TitleIX is ripe for reform https://www.yahoo.com/news/joran-van-der-sloot-confesses-151303283.html If only Natalee Holloway (and apparently another woman in Peru) had just let Joran Van Der Sloot have sex with them, then he wouldn’t have had to kill them. It’s sad that society won’t be able to see what he can contribute for a long time.

I know this is at least part sarcasm but I believe Ayres posted a video a few days after accepting the job from his new house (presumably a rental) basically saying how cool CA was.

I think it will just turn into a competition (and as a result, potential safety issue) for which company can make the lightest shoes, headgear, etc. Not to mention the safety issue of potentially wrestling dehydrated or hungry. Yeah, I know the response will be “then don’t do it,” but you know guys will. Agree with @JVStateChamp, particularly in NCAA D1, extreme weight cutting doesn’t seem to be a huge issue right now as a whole.

You have quite the imagination

I wonder if there has been a decrease in donations to schools that are now going to "collectives" instead?

Yes

Odd, you remembered the accuser's high school nickname, but not the defendant's defense. Here you go: At the bench trial, Holm testified in his defense. He claimed that after he entered the room and attempted to go to sleep, he heard moaning and groaning from the bed. Holm stated he sat up and saw a naked woman who appeared to be masturbating on the bed. Holm decided to leave to avoid embarrassment. When he started to stand up, Holm testified the woman looked at him and reached up for him, grabbing his head with her hands in an attempt to pull him on to the bed. Holm resisted and stood up, asking the woman what she was doing. At that point, Holm claims she began screaming and kicking him, and he fled the room.

That was his story according to the link that was posted

I can't seem to find much on Francois. Saw some rando on twitter saying that he's out at Stanford but no clue if there's any truth to that. I thought the rumor was that Deakin was likely joining Koll at UNC, and I believe Koll himself mentioned trying to bring an assistant or 2 from Stanford to UNC (UNC's coach list currently only has Koll & Ramos).

Yup, facing decades in prison and he wanted to sound “cool” by saying that his drinking was out of control. That’s like you believing Jordan Holm’s story of the girl screaming because he denied her sexual advances.

The hotel industry is huge, and has differences to many other industries, so again I think a specific major (but not necessarily an entire "school") makes sense and could provide some value over a general business major. But even if someone majoring in it doesn't work in hotels, maybe to your point what they learn is likely not THAT much different than general business majors, so they could still get a job in a different field despite majoring in Hotel Administration.

Hey now, Huguely isn't a sex offender (that I'm aware of), just a murderer

Maybe you should have also “met with him” the majority of other days he was in college where he has admitted to “out of control” “drinking all the time.” I also didn’t see much intellect coming through in the video of his admission. I don’t think society will really miss him.

I had never heard of Jordan Holm until this thread. I’ll admit 6 years in jail may have been an excessive punishment, and while IANAL he may have had a better shot at getting off with a jury, but reading that link it seems like a pretty strong case that he did it, so it’s surprising you’re starting out with the “if he’s innocent” line. Between his changing and improbable stories, the availability of witnesses in addition to the victim, DNA evidence, etc, there isn’t much chance that he was innocent. @TitleIX is ripe for reform, what’s your opinion of Dayton Racer?

Yes, I know that. My wife worked in the hotel industry for awhile including at a top-rated hotel in a mid-sized city. The General Manager of the place barely made over $100k.

Hotel Administration as a major isn’t weird IMO, but as an entire “school” kinda is. It is a bit interesting for an Ivy to have it though, as pay in the hotel industry is notoriously crappy.
