Texas is hard to put a line on because right now no one knows the real injury status Coleman/Wingo, Simmons, their secondary or any RB not named Brown.

If you have no idea there, you should err towards LSU and shift later in the week as injury information gets updated.

I think the biggest thing people do not realize is that though Medicare/Medicaid is pass through payer system, a % of total volume of payments is used to provide the administration costs budget estimate to be reimbursed to each state for the next year.

There is not a ton of benefit for some of these huge fraud states to actively enforce knowing they get a huge benefit to their own admin budget.

Just to keep this in a basic frame of reference, the Wright Brothers' first flight was about 120 feet. When this thing hopped/jumped/flew over the lineup of cars, the side-by-side width was at least 87 feet and change.

15 feet on either side is a pretty basic estimate, but it is at least in the ballpark of the "first" manned flight...

So, he started this idea at 15 or 16 and we waited for him to be an adult to arrest him?

Either way you look at it should lead to some concerning questions.

The rumor is that his wife and the kids is the reason why he didnt go with Sark initially instead of PK and once the kids were older they both wanted to be back in Austin.

So the real questions are: does the wife want to go elsewhere or stay in Austin, and does Muschamp even want to mess with being a HC, knowing Texas can pretty much outpay most lower-level HC gigs he could get?

People are acting like this is something new when this was already discussed and workshopped earlier this year.

The entire point is to tell students that if you want to to major in degree “x” and receive student aid to do so (Pell grant and/or loans) your university needs to show that their graduates make enough to justify it. If you can’t do better than the standard hs graduate, you can pay out of pocket. All of a sudden students will now have to be explained about the real earning potential of their degree choices, have to make the conscious choice to pay for a degree that has low income prospects or use aid for something with a higher income outcome, and many of those sob stories of kids with all of this debt and can only work at Starbucks all vanish. Agency and long term economic independence is something colleges have been hiding from students at the individual major level (outside of business schools, law, and engineering as they use it to recruit) as they k ow it would impact enrollment. Kids love the happy fun classes and exotic majors if they don’t know the consequences of their choices.

Think about how low of a bar this really is. What this really is doing is forcing colleges to track placement of students with their degrees by majors and essentially show that those students are getting a real job, in any field, that pays more the median standard HS graduate.

Where this becomes interesting is how this works with private schools and does this practice continues on to lenders for independent loans for private university tuition.

Russia doesn’t have the manpower to hold onto the gains they have made in eastern Ukraine. They are struggling logistically to get men and material to the front lines right now. Russia is having to rely on foreign made drones and missiles to supplement their current attacks on Ukrainian targets.

We are supposed to believe that even though this is happening, Russia has the offensive capability to attack multiple euro countries? They don’t have the capability to finish of Ukraine, so attacking say Finland or Poland would be a blood bath.

Why wasn’t this set in motion last basketball season then?

Because last basketball season, the NCAA wasn't considered essentially null and void as an enforcement mechanism, and the hope was that this was something that was going to get fixed at the national level via legislation.

The 2025-26 basketball cases (G League returnees, two-way contracts, Bediako) were NCAA problems. Conferences complained. They did not file federal suits against their own members. The hope was a national eligibility statute, not 16 presidents inventing a parallel government in August. That hope died this summer when the 5-for-5 carve-out hit the courts, state judges started writing NCAA rules, and a member school plus a state AG used a hometown injunction to freeze an SEC vote two weeks after it passed.

Once the national body cannot hold a line, the conference either polices its own association or it does not exist as a product. That is why this started after the August 25 vote and the Louisiana override, not after last year’s basketball season.

Too many people are missing the forest for the trees... This is a step that has to be taken by the SEC to make sure that the conference has its own autonomy. If they can't enforce their own rules, how do you enforce rules about media rights?

Kiffin just gave them easy additional material, but this type of encroachment by the state of Louisiana had to be defended or the SEC (and conferences in general) have no real functional purpose...

The issue here is that in almost any state in the US outside of Massachusetts, this would not have gone to trial. That is because most states require that, when you do a defense of mental defect, the defense is then required to prove that the defendant has, in fact, suffered a mental defect. In MA, it's the other way around; the state has to prove there were not..

Once the defense puts forward enough evidence that her mental state is in question, prosecutors have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she was legally responsible. They can do that in one of two ways. Either she did not have a mental disease or defect when it happened, or she did have one but she still understood that killing the children was wrong and could have stopped herself.
