I agree everything looked much better when Hassan was running things. But then again, it took Newton half a season to mesh with the team as the point guard. I suspect they might like to start using Mahaney as an off guard at some point, until he better understands the offense. This may be the...

Have you looked at their budget? It's $6B a year. Students w/ parents who make up to $150k don't pay. Then it graduates slowly. They have a $50B endowment, they take 5.5% from it every year. This means around $2.6B every year. So they need another $3.4B in revenue, which they get through the...

Giving money to subsidize students is predatory. Amazing the things we learn here.

https://www.highereddive.com/news/grand-canyon-education-racketeering-class-action/718936/ PhDs are fully funded at the nation's non-profit universities. Creating bottlenecks is the opposite of what they do because such bottlenecks cost money. Schools are incentivized to push people through as...

Are we supposed to be against endowments at non-profits?

The fraud cases skyrocketed with the for-profits. Corinthian, Trump, Grand Canyon, several others.

?? They do! Anyone making under $150k doesn't pay, and then after that, the tuition charges are gradual.

I'm not sure why you guys aren't understanding what I'm saying. There's a huge difference between a school that uses its endowment to subsidize education for students (i.e. defray the cost of education) and a school who has been accused of defrauding students by not giving them what they're...

Not sure what you're asking. They have had multiple federal cases against them. I didn't differentiate what from a traditional university? I mentioned they got in trouble with credentials.

Fraud credentials. a lot of the for-profits are charging students for no-show credentials. They've been accused of racketeering. How does that differ from a regular university? Well, it's illegal. There are all sorts of reporting/assessments in place to prevent this from happening. Unless you...

The amazing thing is that people take this school seriously. It would not surprise me if it ceased to exist in a few years. How many times will it pay fines for charging students for non-degrees, lying to them, leaving them high and dry? They've been found guilty of racketeering! Would not...

Try drinking 4 of 5 steins then going on the tilt-a-whirl or loop coasters. It really does something to you.

Hassan Solo Liam Alex Samson or TR That's quite a difficult lineup to break into

I really don't want to hear about people's personal lives. If they like to use locking devices in intimate moments, that's their business. A lot of everyday people do this sort of thing. I don't think using manacles should be labeled sicko.

Andre had 2 steals and an assist in his first action of the year. 3 minutes. Play him Doc.

We also need a player with size to come in, unless they really have plans for Singare. But a lot of people are reporting that all his favorites are actually out on him. With NIL you never know what is going on.

I checked on Newton and he is inactive, but it was good to see him also make the team.

Andre Drummond on Opening Night. 8 minutes so far, 7 rebounds. At this rate, he'll get 3000 rebounds this year.

Are you sure Mao is the Senior Vice President? A lot of people think he is actually the Chairman.

When there's a lot of court decisions and caselaw behind it, I'd put a helluva lot more stock in that. Surely you do too, no? Let's face it. This was overturned on a wave of popular protest, the judge presiding over the main cases has blatantly said, "I don't understand any of the money." She...

It sucks that in an era when students all over the country are choosing not to go to school because of the cost, we are adding $1k+ to their student bill that will likely just be an additional 1k+ in loans. It’s really indefensible. And as they’re cutting education, you’re just paying more for...

No matter what he says about it, for many years the NLRB and others considered all students a separate category, and Congress went along. Student workers were excluded from paying taxes, they couldn’t unionize etc. The legal changes are recent and they’ve already forced colleges into eliminating...

I thought it was bizarre. Then I saw Belichick hanging out with her Dad who is in his 40s and thought it was even more bizarre. Then I thought I should be OK with it if the father is happy with it. Then I thought with a father like that there's something really twisted about it. Football...

wrong school

Imagine the arrogance to go in and say you wanted to get paid more when you're already earning that much and you're actually cruddy at your job.

There doesn't even need to be an announcement to do it. They will starve you of oxygen until you submit. The B1G and SEC can say "We're only be playing each other from now on." The TV networks will then pay accordingly. You won't have any money for your San Diego St. versus South Florida...

Seems like Hurley recruits a lot of crazy people

Ball and Stewart were incredibly quick to loose balls and some rebounds. I'd say one of those two need to be on the court at all times. Mahaney's shot looked a lot nicer than I was expecting. Ball and Nowell shot well.

We have Abraham, Ball, Ross, Nowell and Tarris Reed still here. Mahaney is pretty athletic as well.

The logic and reasoning around the word "fun" sounds so much like the stuff we used to hear in the past in New England. Some athletes do actually think this way.

Donovan is +23 somehow, highest plus/minus on the team. 2 blocks. 5 of 8 from the field, but 3 misses from 3. So, 5 of 5 down low. I can only imagine that teams aren't testing him down low which is why they are +23 with him out there.

As a Pats fan, this kind of stuff never bothers me. I appreciate Hurley, because he has the team playing so well and because he's nuts. I'm not sure I want to have a beer with him. Probably not. Same with Brady. I can see why you feel that way. I liked him because he was monomaniacal, and that's...

I know this is painful for Patriots fans but Brady was 42 going on 43, the Patriots roster was thin, we saw how bad it was WITH Brady in 2019, they weren't going to rebuild for a 45 or 46 year old. And, Patriot fans are in denial about this one fact that is hard to take: Brady showed up on a...

Very bad picks in last several years before Brady left, but the 2020-2023 drafts were pretty good. One reason for the lack of draft talent from 2016-2019 was 4 lost picks to deflategate, constantly picking last in every round, and also trading away a lot of picks for veterans, trades for...
