When your life is one depressing failure after another, in an attempt to find something to feel good about, you become blindly and overly invested in your sports team. Or Trump.

Agreed. And along with that, a excuse for their own personal failings and the false hope that they’ll magically be restored to their “rightful” place.

And these kids will get the state education they’re owed. But, just like a place of employment, a charter school has extrajudicial rules.

*Yawn*

When you go into work tomorrow, call your boss a “fat pig” and see how it goes.

I was with you until you said this kind of thing is as likely to happen in Boulder as anywhere else.

Are you sure this is true?

I totally get the appeal of being a flight attendant, but nobody’s getting paid well to do it. The median salary is well below $40k.

Right. But if an unprofitable business (PSU athletics) adds to their expenses by increasing payroll in a single department (PSU football), that money has to come from somewhere.

I love this. Anything that memorializes for history what a putz Trump is is alright by me.

Okay. But that means overturning Title IX. Good luck with that.

Fair point. And thanks for engaging; I’m kind of playing devil’s advocate, just because I have questions and you seem like somebody who knows more than I do.

So, the 2nd string punter from Akron St. gets paid?

Don’t put words in my mouth. I’ve never argued that scholarships are sufficient compensation.

Thanks.

What are the operating expenses for a Big Ten athletic department?

Sorry you didn’t like it. Thanks for the feedback.

I like this, but I’d call it more of a proposal than a model.

Yeah, I was wrong.

I appreciate the correction (which many others made) about the NCAA revenue being a dumb figure to use. An honest mistake on my part.
