"Once you become a professional athlete, you are banned. All other schools are abiding by this rule," Wilson told Yahoo Sports.
Good for us the SEC and Sankey were unable to define "professional athlete".
Idiot.

When a player plays for the NFL, they become an employee of the professional sport/team, paid directly by them on a contract.
NIL in college football is paid for by outside sources.
There is revenue sharing also that just recently started, but that is sharing not a contract to come play.
Thus, a college kids is NOT an employee of the sport/team/school.
Partially true. College athletes may qualify as employees under federal wage law. Johnson v. NCAA (2004).
Revenue-sharing payments can be governed contracts. Those aren't necessarily NFL-style employment contracts, but they are agreements exchanging payments for rights. Colorado does this.

All of this talk about new and completed highway projects. Those are lofty expectations from LADOT who's just getting around to sending out 'public survey's' for the I-12 expansion.
There will be folks living on Mars before we see any improvements to the road infrastructure in Louisiana.

Ai was invented 20 years ago on aol instant messenger and they called it smarterchild. It did what ai does now minus being good at excel
It ran on windows 95 beige box computers and a dial up internet connection
When they realized how powerful it was and that they weren’t making money the technology was buried
They don’t need extra computing power to run this stuff, they’re using data centers to power mass surveillance.
This entire response is bullshite.
AOL Instant Messenger wasn't AI, it was iMessage at best. Smarterchild was a chatbot created by a company ActiveBuddy and used scripted responses. :lol:

This is a turning point for Louisiana and Louisiana Economic Development. There isn’t a state in the country—outside perhaps Texas and Florida—that wouldn’t kill for a $100 billion investment and nearly 10,000 jobs.

Quite the opposite. 2027 F-150: The 5.0 Coyote is not only staying—Ford is reportedly expanding its availability back into King Ranch and Platinum.

Turbo V6's and I4's are what should be in half ton trucks,
For a half-ton that regularly tows or hauls, there’s still a strong case for a naturally aspirated V8: simpler operation, predictable power delivery, less reliance on boost, and proven durability under sustained load.
Turbo V6s and I4s can make impressive numbers, but making a smaller engine work harder doesn’t automatically make it the better truck engine.
More parts = more opportunity for failure.

Ford only offers a V6
The Coyote 5.0L V8 is offered in XLT 4x4, Lariat and Tremor. For the 2026 F-150, Ford lists the Tow/Haul Package (53T) plus an optional Max Tow Axle, 3.73. Highly recommend if you're trailering a 25' bay boat and hunting gear.

where does this rank on the infrastructure priority needs of Baton Rouge? Does it even sniff the top 100?
At this point, I don't care. The entire state is in desperate need of infrastructure upgrades/ repairs.
Something is better than noting, just keep going.

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey has been reimagined. There's no longer animals as part of the show. It's now essentially an arena-based acrobatic/stunt/live-entertainment production—65 performers from 17 countries, aerialists, trapeze, acrobatics, music, dance, comedy, etc.
