Any system where not every team makes the post-season is an improvement for this state. My opinion!

I'm in for that!

Very fair point! They finished 5th last year and the OP has them 4th preseason. Finishing 4th in this 18 team conference, if they do indeed go on to finish there, is a big deal in my opinion for programs like Illinois, Indiana, and Minnesota. "Should" be CFP (in a 16 team for sure).

Wasn't Day's job in jeopardy until he done went and won the natty? Hey, I ain't sayin it's right ... (You can easily say that was just fan bluster and you'd likely correct. Maybe just the same here)

Penn State - massive year for Franklin. Feels like he's gotta make it happen, or else ...?

I hope you're right about Illinois. Year 4 of Bielema was a great year for them and if they're top 4 in this new even more difficult version of the conf in year 5? For a program that I would guess most Gopher fans feel is inferior to ours on a historical program level?

Title IX covers sexual harassment and discrimination, in general. That's what the bulk of Title IX investigations are about. Not about unequal spending on women's sports.

Quite good in the late 90's early 2000's as well. Lost state championships in the largest class (5A) in 1999 (to Joe Mauer CDH) and 2003 (massive Lakeville still combined, before splitting), won in 2001. As a school that was never huge in terms of enrollment, I don't believe.

I've been to concerts/shows where they force you to put your phone in a locked/sealed bag, then at the end of it they unlock it for you. Such a thing would've prevented this absurd episode. But unless the artist specifically wants that for whatever reason, they have little incentive to require...

Also relevant, but I don't know if we know details about how/why fees would be barred, nor do we know how much chance this has at passing: https://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/45713128/bill-congress-standards-nil-payments

According to the One Stop fees description, it does go to facilities. However, money is somewhat fungible. Now that they're getting this $100/semester from every 6+ credit enrolled student on the TC campus, that frees up other money to be spent on rev share payments/NIL deals with players. So...

This says it's only $6/semester (for Fall and Spring), but maybe that went down recently? https://onestop.umn.edu/finances/costs/fees Stadium fee The student stadium fee supports the construction costs and debt service of the on-campus football stadium that also serves the marching band...

Speaking of "breaks", just look at the first 9 games of the magical 2019 season: first three - they were all supposed to be wins, but all were closer than we thought. Particularly @Fresno State and Georgia Southern. Easily could've lost either or both of those, but they found ways to win. next...

Early this year the ACC renewed its TV deal with ESPN through the 2035-36 season. Unless, as you say, the conference actually blew up to the point of ceasing to exist, I don't think any current ACC teams will be joining either the Big Ten or ACC two years from now. I believe that Grant of...

I am surprised to report that Elk River is "only" 31mi driving distance from Target Field. That is a lot closer than I assumed, especially since knowing you had to exit at Rogers and then drive considerably north of there. Rogers is merely 24mi. Albertville proper (a bit south of the freeway...

I don't see why the flyover bridge couldn't have had two lanes. It certainly has the width, on the bridge. I don't care that the tunnel still (and likely always will) only has three lanes. At least get all the people backed way back on 35W waiting to go on 94W every morning, off of 35W faster

When they're finally done with 494 ... won't it not even add any capacity? Wasn't it about removing/upgrading bridges and adding an HOV lane? Makes me think of when they replaced the flyover bridge for going from 35W North to 94 West (to the tunnel) ... the size of those steel beams ... the...

Is this whole thing fake? Can't trust anything that comes from the internet.

https://www.moneywiselaw.com/grand-canyon-university-nonprofit-appeal/ GCU was founded as a nonprofit Christian institution date back to its founding in 1949. However, financial distress led the university to convert to a for-profit model in 2004, backed by a group of private investors and...

Another similar case study is New Prague. Eyeballing the Scott county map, it appears that just over half of NP is in Scott. Both NP and Northfield are in the mid 40's miles driving distance to Target Field. Unlike ElkoNM, which since it is right on I-35 is only 32mi driving distance. So that...
