Unless your running at total capacity where you are turning away a student who could afford to pay due to lack of space, scholarships at all institutions, public and private, are basically free to the University since the marginal cost of adding another student is basically nothing.

Athletic departments profits and losses are a lot like “Hollywood accounting”. Where things are charged against the budget at inflated rates, revenues are counted elsewhere, etc.   It allows them to plead poverty whenever someone asks where the money went while letting those who run it make out like bandits. 

The better question for those in category two is “What is the marginal cost of admitting an extra student?” not how much the scholarship is.

The water will come from the Anacostia which turns everything a dark shade of brown if exposed for more than 5 minutes.  

It’s only on some cable companies in the DC area and none of the Internet streaming cable providers. So even with ESPN+ your blacked out locally if your cable provider has chosen not to carry it.

Yes. The Progress automated result vessels use the same systems, computers and software, it just has the reentry module replaced with a fuel modules instead.    Also docking is almost always computer controlled anyway. Manual docking led to some nasty accidents during the Mir days.

Considering the crap teams get from the fans and the media when the rest their starters in the last game when absolutely everyone knows the game is meaningless, evidence suggests that the forced rest will not go over as well as you think it will.

Nice idea, but TV won’t give any more money for more weeks, but the same number of games and the teams won’t earn an extra game of ticket sales and concessions.    Adding an extra bye would be great, but it’s not what’s being discussed when they talk about an 18 game schedule.   

That sounds great, but neither side will have any incentive to take the deal. Players won’t want to give significant playing time to thier backups so they can easily replace them and depress their salaries with a flood of game ready backups; and the owners don’t want glorified pre-season games at the end if they year…

The fans didn’t leave, it’s just they never showed up in the first place. No one really cares about the League Cup, especially when it’s this early in the tournament.

It’s pretty much the same conversation that went on with pitchers who can hit really well at the dawn of baseball. Yea it’d be awesome, but the injuries start to pile up, pitching is hard on the arm and you need rest to recover. Batting daily in addition to being a starting pitcher doesn’t give you the recovery you…

Almost all the graphics on the EPL feed are actually put into the screen by the EPL Central Office. All the broadcasters just replay that feed. NBC puts next to nothing on the feed it’s self except for some ads and station identifiers.  

Yep. The ‘95 vintage Browns were the last competent version of the franchise. It’s been all down hill since then. 

They lose that weeks paycheck (i.e. what ever was in it). Depending on how the contract is structured it can be out of the bonus, guaranteed, or non-guaranteed portions. If the agent had any sense they try to get the money front loaded so if there was a suspension it doesn’t hit as hard.   Signing bonus are usually…

GPS and accelerometer data gets a bit screwed up from hand and arm movement where it’s a bit more accurate in the center of the back. Heart rate monitors on the wrist are also notoriously inaccurate, especially when the wrist is flexing all the time. And then having something to grab on the wrist presents safety…

It’s a performance tracking sensor package and not a sports bra. All the players wear them now.   When TV shows data about how fast someone runs, how far they run, etc it’s data from one of these.  

If they’re actually in real bankruptcy, the court will appoint an administrator and handle the paying of employees from any freed up assets. Payroll tends to be the highest creditor in bankruptcies.

Like a fast food franchise, they don’t have control when it’s beneficial for them not to have control, and have control when it’s beneficial to have control.   It’s all a system to avoid liability while maintaining all the profits. 

Like a lot of things though, the “good guys” won’t let rules and regulations be written to prevent the “bad guys” from doing things that ruin their reputation. As such, I don’t really feel all that sorry for them.   

Emperor Honorius, that’s who.
