No it's not. Not everybody can be a physician, an air traffic controller, a FBI agent, etc. College athletics are no different

What qualifies someone for being any of these things? The ability to do the job.

And NFL/NBA player would in most cases have the ability to do the job of collegiate athlete

Looks consistent to me.

Not a MLB player but will get many chances to fail due to being a high pick like Mickey Moniak.

Without Robert Duvall this movie will suck.

I would add all the Kardashians to my list except Kourtney. I always thought Kourtney was hot.

Taylor Swift does nothing for me. She’s the very definition of bland.

I always laugh when I see these threads and someone says Connie Britton is hot. There must be a bunch of 60+ year old men on these boards. FNL is another example of the leading man being better looking than his wife,

Hughes really wanted Anthony Michael Hall to play Ferris…

Anthony Michael Hall could have played Ferris and been good in it. He was great playing the geek in Sixteen Candles

But I think Broderick obviously played the role perfect being able to show he’s in control of all situations but never coming of as arrogant. I think there was an arrogance/nastiness in Hall, where as Ferris is far more likeable

Kate Upton. She’s just an overweight blonde that you find at Walmart. No idea how she became a sex symbol.

Cindy Crawford. Meh.

Gigi Hadad. Double meh.

Alyson Hannigan. Now I don’t think she ever got lot of “sex symbol” roles but I see lot of people saying she’s hot. I never saw it.

Lindsey Lohan…maybe I just don’t like redheads tho.

Cameron Diaz….utlra skinny with short hair meh.

Charlize Theron- maybe her role as Aileen Wournos scarred me

Angelina Jolie..way too masculine of features

Jenna Fischer…she’a not ugly but I def wouldn’t call her hot. Jim was way better looking than Pam.

The radar guns are laughable these days

If you lose to Auburn then why spend $150 million to get Lane?

It makes sense if you think about it. People would rather buy the stock market than the 10 year. The rates need to go a lot higher to interest people.

---

Not when the 10 year yield is higher than the earnings yield of the SP500.

For the last 12 months, the PE of the SP500 depending on whatever source you use is around a 27.

That equates to an earnings yield of 3.70%
The yield on the 10 year Treasury is 4.70%

So you actually earn more (risk free) from treasuries than the stock market. This anomaly (10 year yield rising, while PE multiples also expanding has never happened before, because mathematically it shouldn’t. There should always be an ERP (equity risk premium), that you gain from putting your money in risk assets like the stock market.

And it’s been inverted like that for the last 2.5 years. This is why some analysts see things breaking quickly. In 1987 and 1999 you had the market in a state in which the Treaaury yield was higher than earnings yield of the stock market.

There will eventually be no eligibility limits and anyone, regardless of their age, will be able to be hired by a college team if the college team wants them.

It’s a profession. Depending on how much money gets spent, colleges will definitely compete with NFL teams to sign the best available talent.

And college will be filled with a lot of “not good enough for NFL but good enough for college” players that some will end up being 6-10 year veterans

It’s inevitable. NCAA will never win this fight in court.

A University hiring a football player to play on the football team is no different than them hiring any paid position (professor on down to janitor). There’s no restrictions there either certsinly not age/experience

How little is Warsh gonna say this morning? The markets will hate it. Will he surprise us by somehow being perfect? Tough balancing act...

The market doesn’t care what any Fed chair says.

It’s honestly a miracle the market is at ATH’s wirh the 10 year yield at 17 year highs.

The 10 year yield from 2012 to 2022 was 3% or less. It’s now holding 4.6-4.7% levels. When it moves over 5% you’ll see mass panic selling as the market realizes theres nothing the US govt or Fed can do to control the long end of the curve
