Yeah I think I'm cancelling YTTV too. The SlingTV $5/day pass is insane value for football season

And LSU maintains he has not been formally fired yet so cause is on the table.

He is trying to backdate the official termination date so that LSU doesn’t have the negotiation chip of a “cause” firing

I just want to learn about the psychology of people who say things like you are here.

Do you actually believe anybody is fooled or impressed by these maneuvers? Do you think it makes you smarter than everyone else? What do you get out of this charade emotionally, especially when it's not even your money at stake?

I get why LSU is doing what it's doing. What it's doing is extremely scummy and obviously shady, but $54 million is $54 million. But what do you get out of embarrassing yourself like this?

It may be accurate that he never worked at LSU?

He's joking about the now-widespread rumors that Kelly just loafed around and didn't work hard. Scheduling vacations during National Signing Day week and not talking to recruits type shite. *allegedly

LSUs stance is fricking retarded. They fired him, now trying to back track so they can fire him with cause because he wouldn't take a reduced buyout.

Everyone sees right through it.

State run by lawyers

Still can't read a contract

Louisiana everyone :bow: :bow: :bow:

Insane that he’s so fast he can afford to pull up and ask like this mid-run in the fricking NFL :lol:

It's pretty degen but this is definitely a "sunlight is the best disinfectant" situation.

Hell, we play sports for sake of meritocracy.

Yes and no... meritocracy is the most important part, but it's not the only part. We want good variety too, and take some anti-meritocratic measures to allow for it, while still letting the field mostly reflect merit. And at least under the current structure of the sport, you need some buy-in from the other conferences besides the SEC and Big Ten.

The reality is that 12 teams is already far too many from a purely meritocratic standpoint. We could have stopped at 8, maybe even 6. The previous 4-team playoff was pretty damn close everything considered.

But since those last 4 bids from 9-12 are all basically pity bids in the first place, I don't see the harm in guaranteeing that some of them don't go to the SEC and Big Ten. In extreme corner cases, you might have the #11 team get hot late in the season and miss a chance to win a title they could've won, but if they're #11, they probably blew two chances or maybe even three chances to get the last win to secure their spot. I just don't think that's a big deal.

I was really expecting to open this and roast you for forgetting about auto bids. I didn't realize it was that bad out there :rotflmao:

That would be hilarious

Gus Johnson sounds like somebody making fun of Gus Johnson five years ago

This will never happen but frick it I'm in
