then wear predominantly orange. White is the problem, which is also why White Effect games at home is the height of idiocy.

This looks like an away jersey or a UTenn jersey. white effect looks like Penn State.

We should have 3 Effect games. Orange Effect where it is mostly orange uni or AOE. Marroon Effect where its AME. And Enter Night (Black Effect) with black jerseys.

I realize this is no longer an amateur sport but how about keep some tradition and make new ones that actually use other traditions. Fucking White effect... just stupid

It's a two way street. You have to build your village. That means you have to be an active member in your community/neighborhood/whatever. It's more challenging to do that than ever before, for a variety of reasons, but IMO a lot of parents aren't able or aren't willing to do that like past generations did.

As far as grandparents go, I'm super fortunate to have parents and in laws who live nearby and are willing to help us out a lot. But neither of them want to watch my children 40 hrs/week, 50 weeks/year (I don't blame them). I would never ask that of them. They want to be grandparents; they want to take the kids on the weekend, have fun, and give the kids back lol. I don't blame them, and I want them to enjoy their retirement.

100%. I have been living this live action Dilbert strip first-hand for 2.5 years.

Have a sheet printed out listing the months from the start of this year through June, 2027 when my daughter should graduate high school*. Color in each month as I get closer to being able to leave.

* Several years ago - before PE got their tentacles on us - I had come up with the targets for retirement or semi-retirement. They were (1) we achieve X-many dollars of total household net worth (I'm not going to give the value) or (2) when our daughter graduates high school, whichever comes first. Looks like we will make the dollar value first. Maybe even this year. But my wife already took early retirement when her company offered a buyout last year and she will freak out if neither of us are working, so I think I'm stuck until 2027.

It's my understanding that this revenue share can come from university funds as well, that it doesn't have to specifically athletic department funds. Is this accurate?

It's going to depend on the school and the state laws (if it's a public institution) - The NCAA isn't going to regulate how a university funds its athletic department.

My parents also had their parents to help out with childcare. My grandparents helped my parents out a ton as did most of my friends' growing up. These days grandparents want no part of helping raise their grandchildren. It went from "It take a village" to "fuck you I got mine" in a single generation.

Revenue Share - This is also called 'House Settlement Money' - it's money directly from the Athletic Department...

Great post, though.

Lol but let it happen to the Big 10 and they can all die, (except the big ones who will be fine anyway). If ACC holds firm and plays the long game we can come out winners here.

And for the people that think daycare is a great business to get into, it isn't. I know the Owner of Rainbow Riders and quite a few of the employees. Her husband makes enough that he told his wife, just don't lose money and I don't care if you ever make a profit. Not many businesses run on that model.

The Owner was heartbroken when helping to set up the Head Start program for Christiansburg that half of her employees would fall into the level of financially being eligible for the government assistance day care.
