Nobody in BR is more than two generations off the farm, the oilfield, or the fruit and vegetable cart. To think of them trying to be elitist is rather humorous.



Laughable.

LOL, it is not an SEC School.. Harvard does not offer academic scholarships either.. everyone there would get one



They do, they just work a bit differently. Certainly have a merit component to it.

Not going to get one if you're rich though, that's true.

Harvard does not offer athletic scholarships, are you saying his family finances were such that he qualified for 100% financial aid ?



They get around it with grants, academic scholarships (called something different, but have a merit based component), financial aid, and a combination of the above. In the NIL era, Ivy League could actually make a big leap forward with the amount of money their alumni have if they committed to it.

I have a good buddy that played basketball at Princeton for "almost" free and he likely would not have gotten into Princeton without being a really good basketball player.
Really, REALLY smart kid and hard working. I'm sure he'll end up being a good coach.

Should have a better degree, but that topic has been discussed.

He's certainly embarrassed LSU football and the state with his antics.
And our NIL boosters can get their grips on them in high school easier.
The fix to home affordability is focusing on the supply. 50 year mortgages will make prices go up. People who aren't in a financial position to buy a home will be doing so in droves, driving up prices enormously.

To focus on supply:

- Put caps on corporations buying single family homes. Really low, like 10.

- Don't allow any foreign entities or individuals to buy homes at all unless it's an individual with proper documentation like dual citizenship.

- Force a sale of these homes owned by foreign entities. If they are offered FMV or above, they have to accept it or it is seized. They can only rent to American citizens as it is up for sale and the rent is capped. Give them big motivation to get a sale done.

- Figure out how to get building supplies cost down, which have ballooned.

Know what’d be a better idea? Banning corporations, especially foreign investors, from owning single-family homes.



This is the way...sort of.

Just limit it to something like 10 single family homes. That allows local real estate investors to still operate.

And you can't retroactively install this, a lot would be grandfathered in. But it would help long term. Government shouldn't be able to take property from American citizens and companies.

But foreign entities can get fricked. Force them to sell and if they get an offer at Fair Market Value they have to take it (can't set unhittable price points).

This team is ready to win a lot of games right away if we can keep the roster in tact.

Patience in year 1 will have a lot to do with the portal activity, going both in and out of the roster.

I don't think the New York football Giants are considered a terrible organization. Of course, their front office hasn't exactly hit on all their talent decisions, but you make it sound like Daboll wasn't properly supported.


Their roster management has been atrocious in recent years.

Stolen from another thread:

quote:

12 playoff appearances in 35 years, just two over the last decade


They had some obviously good Eli years and a couple long shot Super Bowl wins, but outside of that, it has not been a successful organization.

Not that Dan Lanning is happening, but Id like to make nike pay him more espcially with their furry bs coming out.



With LSU, PSU, and Florida open every major successful coach is about to get a big ole pay raise, I'd assume.

Not to mention Arkansas, Auburn, VaTech, etc.

This coaching cycle is going to be nuts.
