For someone who lives in NY and can’t afford to move out of their parents house despite making a relatively OK salary (over 60k), this article infuriates me. There is no way in hell anyone in cities like NY or SF can pay 30% or lower of their income on rent unless you’re making mid 6 figures. studios in these cities…

The 30% rule is of a bygone era, sorry. I have a good job in a cheapish metro area and not a chance could I only spend 30% on rent+utilities, I’d live in a shack in the middle of nowhere.

That’s EPIC highlight truther-ing

Exactly. Google found nothing about him being charged. If the evidence is there to support expulsion, surely there is enough for charges and possibly a conviction.

Um, no. People are kicked off teams for far less than “dead to rights”, precisely because you people whine all day about “rape culture”. And then you STILL whine about it. It’s almost like nothing makes you people happy, other than just executing all the men.

As has already been pointed out twice, Ivy League schools do NOT offer athletic scholarships. And even though Ivy League schools don’t do enough to recruit people from varied socioeconomic backgrounds, they DO have a tiered tuition system, so if you come from a poor family you can attend for FREE. That’s more than…

Just for the record, the Ivy League doesn’t award athletic scholarships.

There is nothing inherently wrong with schools having competitive athletic teams; it’s a way to bring the school together and athletes usually have a passion for playing the sport - they aren’t sitting there thinking “man, I wish I didn’t have to play this children’s game.”

HA! Yeah cause all athletes are rapists. And get rid of sports?!? You must have been destroyed in high-school dodgeball to make a statement like that.

Yale doesn’t give athletic scholarships. But I agree with the sentiment of your comment. “How dare these basketball players... play BASKETBALL?”

Are you aware that the Ivy League doesn’t give out scholarships, asshole? Yale scholarships are solely given out on the basis of need.

Not true. Most schools actually lose money on their athletic programs.

Are you implying all athletes are rapists? Because that is a pretty bold generalization

Run that by me again. Basketball causes thousands of rapes?

Ivy League athletics is non-scholarship.

Are you aware that the Ivy league doesn’t give scholarships?

There are no scholarships in Ivy League sports.

But no one has come out and said officially that is why he left the school, so not sure how that would apply. I mean, I’m sure they all know but since it’s not official, you can’t really make that accusation toward them.

Maybe you can comfortably believe and automatically dismiss a friend \teammate because of an allegation, with no evidence known to you. But reasonable people don’t do that.

Yep. And it’s the banding together and high status afforded college athletes and members of certain fraternities that is the genesis of rape culture and leads to thousands of women who went to college to study getting raped.
