Non-Key Tweets

Plus, Swaim was a freaking lunatic.

Well, there's that too.

How about naming the thread using the name of someone you wished was no longer with us?

Maybe just go with the "I Hate You All Non-Key Tweet Forum"? That seems easier.

you just jumped to the Multiverse. Maybe someone there will have some idea of what you're talking about.

So are you for or against the renaming? To me it seems like a "freaking lunatic" perfectly sums up the non-key tweets.
Do we have to remove tweets from the name since it's now X? Such a dumb name change. EM should have left it alone. It's like when Prince became the symbol. In both case, Twitter & Prince, people just called it the site/artist formerly known as...

Prince adopted the symbol to get out of a bad record contract. So not the same thing.

Did someone pee in your cornflakes today?
I didn't mention how or why they got their new names, just that people continued to reference their original name and not the new one.

This is getting weirder by the day - an employee paying other "employees".

Wow -- Ohio State's conference schedule next year is so, so mid.

I may be missing a post. nevertheless, it is possible for one to be both an employee and a contractor. not sure if that applies to your comment.

I see the coach as an employee and the athletes as quasi employees or true employees in the future (that's why I put the reference to players being employees in quotes)... Regardless, this LSU scenario sure is raising a lot of eyebrows, questions and concerns.

They can't be considered employees when there's so much more involved here. They're part of a university that has so many different categories of workers.

Whether considered employees technically or not, they will likely be something extremely close to it in the fairly near future. Perhaps some sort of union-like situation with collective bargaining. It's moving that way with these decided and looming court cases.

I was actually referring to the courts. There are a lot of carve outs at universities in labor law and even with taxes.

If college ball were truly run as a business the profit split would be totally different.

Got it. That's really no different than any organization, especially pro sports where the athletes make more than the coaches. Everyone is an employee and the coach is in management.

There are far more complicated arrangements in the corporate world. Agreed there is a lot to shake out here, but whether they end up being employees, contractors, full time, part time, they'll figure out a way to get paid.

It's the below minimum wage thing that is allowed on campus. Not sure about the corporate world for that. But many workers are also exempt from taxes.

He didn't quote the whole article but basically UNC's leadership views football as necessary in protecting the broad based athletic program long term. It either get's in the game or relegate to the Ivy league level

UNC is definitely much more appealing to both the SEC and the B1G comparing to FSU and Clemson. The floodgate will be wide open if we ever get clarity on this GOR situation.
