The Constitution is the final say on the matter. That's exactly what the Supreme Court exists to ensure. If the Constitution says no birthright citizenship, then the Supreme Court says that. Amendments can be, and have been, repealed. It's not easy. But there is precedent.

Top Gun
Superman
Field of Dreams
Glory
The Sandlot
The Bad News Bears
Animal House (a bit of a more personal one as I've had to many times try to explain the concept of a 'fraternity' to Europeans)
The Breakfast Club/American Pie genre
The Final Countdown
The Quick and the Dead
Tombstone
None of that in any particular order.

I did try to watch that show on several occasions and just couldn't make it through a single episode.
If you're willing to try again and make it through a single episode, consider watching 'Blink'.

Not enough non-binary, transpecies character development?
And it's not like they didn't touch on that a bit with a few species that were introduced into the show and even part of the story line. They didn't have to try and make it 'modern'. It already had some background elements right there built into the canon. Just go with that.
I'm personally glad to hear the news. Let somebody pick it up who wants to make a hit and doesn't care about socio politics.
re: Movies that completely disregard the book.

A Clockwork Orange. I don't how many have managed to trudge through that book - that certainly describes what I did. And maybe it wasn't the best idea to read the book after seeing the movie. Anyway, the basic theme is nailed, but they are very Very different stories details-wise.
* There are only ten players on defense, and only eight players on offense, in the opening clip.
* In the second clip, ten players on defense, nine on offense.
* In the third clip, the DB closest seems to be lined up on the 50 when the line of scrimmage appears 46/47 and one of the blocking linemen on the left vanishes shortly after the snap.
* In the fourth clip, the 12th offensive player appears shortly after the snap, and there don't seem to be more than nine defensive players at any point.
* In the fifth clip, only nine on defense, and the eleventh offensive player magically appears towards the end of the play.
* In the sixth clip, a defensive player is actually lined up on offense in the backfield!
I'd hope a scout/coach might notice some details like this.

Heard that Emilia Clark actually cracked one of her ribs filming the sex scenes.
Pro Tennis and Sumo are pretty much tied for second.

unable to replace Geordi's eyes.
Eventually, they did.(Picard, Season 3)
So the first appearance of properly visorless Geordi was actually TNG ("All Good Things" - both episodes). But that was an alternate timeline in the farther future. The more modern base-timeline appearance comes in the film First Contact.
I might be wrong, but I thought this was taken into account by atleast one of the major ranking services. Could have sworn I saw a net gain +/- thing going on in their lists.

I wouldn't count on that. Few judges, if any, will go along with that idea I suspect. And if that soon-to-be case goes to the SC, it's all over 9-0.

This aspect of the transfer is within the NCAA authority the regulate.
No to derail the thread, but I'm pretty sure the first lawsuit against any transfer limitations will likely obliterate this concept. But let's just wait and see. That lawsuit is probably right around the corner....

For me it's atleast a tie with Highlander.

As well as paying these coaches seeming bottomless bank rolls to switch *at any time*.

“It’s all so strategic. It’s about need and money and the cost and where’s the market and which agent are you dealing with. Some agents are rational, and some I don’t even know if they are licensed. We have no certification in college like the NFL. An agent may be a college roommate who is throwing out numbers we can’t even deal with. It’s unfortunate.”
There are thirteen states that have laws on agents. All of the others say nothing as far as I can find. Those laws vary wildly. Some requiring a license, some not even acknowledging the concept. Some capping percentage for representation, some only implicitly seeming to apply to those in the media/acting industry. A few give mention to athletes. In none is an agent required. The states:
Arizona
California
Connecticut
Florida
Maryland
Massachusetts
Minnesota (athletes)
Mississippi (athletes)
Missouri (athletes)
New Jersey
North Carolina
Pennsylvannia

re: Are you embarrassed that Alabama is trying to cancel their '27/'28 games vs Ohio State ?

Why would I? OU plays anybody anywhere.
But if you are asking whether we should all be embarrassed, well... maybe. But the CFP committee has made it quite clear that number of wins/losses does not equal quality of win/losses. And the powers-that-be will always try to get the best media teams in if they can. So this is the state of affairs we are heading towards.
Notre Dame will very well likely get in the next few CFPs without playing a single team ranked in the top 50 of any rating system. And I somehow doubt OSU is going to be replacing that 'Bama game with Georgia/UT/OU or the like (nor should they).
