When you ask Scottie where his Buccaneers are he says "Right under my Buckin visor!"

where do you think I came up with the booze curve? Dat back 9 score [sad trombone]

Makes sense. The goal is to add legitimacy.

University of Phoenix degrees are more or less accepted in the business/government world by anyone who is looking to see if the box is checked. Many of it's programs are accredited.

Yes they have the cooler I want, but they always have about a 2 month wait. They may be able to get it to me in time.

Preach on, brother. I recently got an email from one of these places (might have been Phoenix) asking if I wanted to get my Ph.D. completely online, part-time, in 1.5 years.

I looked over to my real doctorate, then my 422-page dissertation on my shelf, and recalled the 60-80 hour work weeks I put in for five years to get my Ph.D. I laughed, then cried a little bit (thinking of people who might actually claim a "Ph.D." from one of these diploma mills), then laughed a bit more before hitting delete.

Yeah I don't think it applies to any games that end up on a RSN. The blackout is only gone on the "ACC Network" games that are syndicated onto local broadcast channels. I think this ACC Network is now technically a digital channel that is part of ESPN3 until the real channel launches in a few years, hence no blackouts. At least that is how I read this: http://www.theacc.com/page/acc-espn-announcement-faq I could be completely wrong come Saturday and will be cursing up a storm.

MSU - Dantonio is a Boss
Pittsburgh - but I don't feel good about this one.
UT - Cause UF is even hotter garbage on offense than UT
UM - Doubt this is right but who can pull for PSU in any way after their blind ignorance?
Stanford - Always until proven otherwise.
Texas A&M - I still don't trust Arkansas

It was not a bad strategy, it was just a conservative strategy. Frank knew Bud would put a defense on the field that was almost always better than the other team's offense. If your offense is getting stopped it made sense to punt it deep to the other team's side of the field and get your strength on the field for more of the game. With a strong defensive unit, it doesn't make all that much sense to increase the risk of a turnover to try and convert 3rd and long. (yes there were way too many 3rd and longs, but that has been would be beating a dead Cavman catapult)

As far as a score X points goal each game, the offense should have a goal of scoring each time they are on the field and the defense should have the goal to prevent the other team from scoring each time they touch the field, otherwise they are not doing their job. Doesn't mean you have to get 6, moving ball enough to get 3 is still a success.

If they hire the same person that wrote the letter to the Big 12 on behalf of Eastern Carolina, there is no chance of it working out.

As long as the Federal government is willing to subsidize online education as if it's the same as on-campus learning, and businesses will hire those folks, expect online education to grow.

Their motivation is clear, as they get a certain legitimacy from having a campus and a football program, which validates those online degrees. After a certain amount of time, it all looks legit.

And Ivy League schools are also creating degrees that be earned online, so who can argue that it's not legitimate?

We've established what they are. We're just haggling over the price.

This is more of what I was driving at. I feel like people see those institutions and assume all on-line universities are like that. As a result public perception of other universities with legitimate on-line programs is diminished.

I did some work on JMU's stadium and the only nice part about it is a few of the suites are nice. The rest of it is all aluminum and purple. They have a lobby room in there which was littered with pictures of that game they supposedly won back in 2010. That is a bigger deal to them than winning their national championship
