I would be more of a Vikings fan if the Vikings could do everything within the rules ... to include the Gophers in things ;)

The little info that is there indicates this does ... nothing, yet? Some of the listed rules are already rules that the conferences have agreed to (nothing like taking credit for solved problems...), and some are just "proposed". I do think there should be a national standard and the state...

That's because it comes with a 50% chance of the stadium splitting in two and everyone getting swallowed up in a fault line! (so awesome, wish I could go)

I REALLY WANTED TO GO TO CAL But it's just too early in the school year to take the kids out, we have other trips planned :( Granted we did the Rose Bowl and that was awesome, so that makes me feel a little better. Maybe last min to Wrigley ... maybe.

I agree, it seems legally questionable ... but who knows these days ... The NCAA all but quit on enforcement outside some token efforts and I've heard news reports that some in the federal government and congress are interested in getting involved. In the meantime we have the NCAA now...

I'm not convinced Deloitte has some magical standing here to prevail. The only rules I have any confidence in are some of the basic ones that exist within any advertising contract, deals off if you do something horrible, no porn, etc. Beyond that I'm not at all sure what the basis is that...

Gotta put a Jerry statue with AJ's mom.

Sure, but that doesn't change my opinion of their desire to police other adults sexual activity. People don't have to go that school, it doesn't make the policies any less absurd / creepy, and IMO even a clear betrayal of what their own religion teaches. An organization being optional to join...

On a more serious note I'm pretty sure we'd build statues if some donors showed up and said they'd pay for it.

Anyone going down the road "I want to police other adults sexual activity." is a non starter to me.

As long as he's not going crazy about chemtrails or some weird stuff ... 👍🏻

I think organized religion formally policing the sexual activity of other adults is embarrassing. That's messed up stuff. Preach all they want about their ideas, policing other people's activity like this is a whole other world of wrong. Jesus told them not to throw stones, but of course the...
