So is this even more secretive than the mechanics of the booster club (or “Foundations”) at many big time programs, where they are fully intertwined with university business when it comes to things like paying new coaching salaries, Saban’s mortgage, Hugh Freeze’s hooks hotline etc.

Imagine his disappointment when he learned that AMC was not the American Minstrel Channel, despite Roger Sterling’s singing performance

The players have to perform if they expect the fans to show up. I mean, just look at their record...(takes own advice)

You almost had me until I saw mention of a “W”NBA - that’ll be the day!

Because of math...and many other reasons but we can start with math.

He’s definitely a coach on the field.

I think the thing about them is that they are the type of great team that doesn’t mind losing by 20 at home during the regular season. And the outward appearance during many games...or stretches within games... is not lethargy, it’s apathy. We are not accustomed to that approach from our great teams. All the more…

i have spent more than my fair share of time at the Doubletree in Midland, TX. The oil is going to come anyway - we might as well use the gas. 

i am aware of the switching, unlike the POTUS. My only point was to continue the trend / explain my lols when i see the personalized license plate of the Tesla owner with NOFRAC or other messages wholly ignorant to the source of the electricity. 

I would add that concern re the projects themselves. Sun and wind is renewable - solar panels and turbines are not. Decommissioning is going to be a thing. And storage at any relevant scale remains a huge issue.

I’ve always enjoyed watching great teams, even if i wasn’t a fan. The Warriors of old were fun to watch. The Warriors of today appear so disinterested in giving a fuck that losing by 35...to the Mavs...at home... didn’t even register as unusual. Really has me wondering why the entire country isn’t cheering for Other…

It’s pronounced “colonel” and it the highest rank in the military.

This is Dallas, TX not Dallas, OH

Miss Seligson must have a lot of free time.

The oft-cited 80% statistic is a bit misleading as it does not pertain to men and women in the same job. Certainly there are issues to be addressed, and many ways to cut the data (e.g. Asian women actually earn more than Hispanic and AA men...but again, not the same job), but worth starting the analysis from apples to…

hence, the offer he made to pay my (little) bro’s tuition

The best part of this whole deal is many of the parents only got caught bc Singer started cooperating and the FBI made him CALL EVERYONE BACK to recount the crime on a wiretap.

I think that is probably more rare than us plebes believe. It’s even part of Singer’s pitch in the indictment - the “front door” is getting in on your own, the “back door” is via university advancement but costs 10x more and even then might only get you a second look but he was offering a “side door” that all but…

One is providing a lot of money through legitimate channels to the school that they can use to do something for the school. In exchange the admissions dept will water down the typical standard for the child’s application.
