Funny. "Sticking to sports" also looks like the MO of the bomber(s)...

I have really enjoyed this debate. For what it's worth, I THINK this guy's issue comes from a line in the New Testament in which "blaspheming the Holy Spirit" is identified as the one unpardonable sin. The exact meaning of this is hotly debated, even among theologians. Not saying he's right or wrong, just adding…

I swear one of these days I'll write something funny. Today's not that day. I do not want this tragedy to devolve into political bickering, but this, along with a recent mass stabbing at a college here in Houston make me think we need to think beyond the gun debate. I'm not saying stop the gun debate. If anything,…

One more thing to close it out: how awesome would a player strike be?

Another Houston guy here. My only complaint is that you're in Hawaii, and I'm not...jerk.

Wow. No sarcasm here. I'm jealous of how clever that is.

I guess the way I see it is if we want to pay the players (which fortunately it looks like we all do), the colleges have to separate themselves from the NCAA. As such, the scholarship structure would have to change to reflect a different status of athlete. In an oversimplified nutshell, my theory is that universities…

A very valid point. Allow me to clarify the scholarship thing: the school is still paying the athlete's way through school, but only part of it would come from the general scholarship fund. The rest would come through a revenue sharing structure based on royalties the university is currently receiving from video game…

Not just title IX. if you force Universities to overly dip into there own coffers, I think (an it's just 1 man's opinion they will cut funding for other sports. It has happened before. Keeping with the title IX example, when it was implemented, a lot of schools cut other programs rather than choose to spend more. We…

My idea is that aha reduction of scholarship would actually increase funding to more obscure sports, allowing football to flourish without detriment to more obscure sports like Women's water polo and wrestling. Also, as much as we would all like to live in a perfect world where universities did the right thing all the…

A thought: you are 100% correct that most college programs lose money, with the exception of football. Football is also currently the only NCAA sport with a video game. Now, this is an extreme suggestion, but what if football at the larger division 1 schools seceded from the NCAA? Start the Semi Professional…

Ok, so this might seem odd, but I'm a pro gun (anti gun control, if you will) guy, and I would like to commend this article. It's way too ironic not to report it, but it avoids beating you over the head with politics. I agree a reasoned debate over gun violence is necessary and would be a positive thing. It's nice to…
