If only we could be getting a play by play of the debate by the Splinter team. A blog, if you will, with real-time comments. You could even call it a “live blog”.

Bot broke street date. 

No, not every smart phone needs or want a PRO camera. That is why there is a good version that costs $300 less and has a very good camera

Out of morbid curiosity, I went to Calloway’s instagram. She has 784k followers, and most posts gets about 1k likes some more some less.  That is a terrible fucking ratio! 

Not the Antonio Brown come back story I expected.

Steelers fans like him again now

He’s no Blake Bortles.

Damn. He is so good, and so fun to watch, and we’re going to get 3 weeks out of him before his O-line gets him shut down for the balance of the season. Oh well. Definitely the most enjoyable few minutes of football I’ve seen in a long time.

That last minute of the game was the most fun I’ve had watching an NFL game in years

And then... there was the other game.

I think it’d go the other way, Athletes go to USC to collect a few dollars on their way to the NBA, NFL, etc... USC, UCLA, Stanford, etc get better and are either ranked #1 and then dont get into the postseason, staining the entire postseason. Or the NCAA just tosses them out, loses a ton of money, and California has…

Or, he stays on the roster, UCLA plays USC and Stanford and Berkeley and, now that they can recruit the South by offering actual moneymaking opportunities, UC Davis and Fresno State and Cal Poly and whoever else in a league filled with the country’s best players all actually getting paid and enjoying the last few good…

I think just California would be enough. That’s a big, important state. California schools probably aren’t winning any football championships any time soon, but a lot of them go to the basketball tournament. Fans would be livid with the NCAA, not the schools.

I guess the hope is that once you have 4-6 states that pass similar laws, all of a sudden, you start losing a large amount of schools and players due to those laws, the NCAA has to start paying more attention. 

The USC/San Diego State/Cal/Fresno State playoffs are gonna be dope.

Discipline the schools would ultimately have to enforce. Which would be illegal. So either the NCAA changes, or it loses every school in the most populous state in the country.

In the letter, Emmert suggested that colleges in California could be prohibited from competing for NCAA championships, because the bill might give those schools unfair advantages in recruiting athletes 

it would prohibit schools in California from revoking scholarships or scholarship eligibility from athletes who profit off their own name, image and likeness.

Not so much “set the tone” as harmonized with the tone that has resonated through this franchise for decades.
