# | ODU to Host Penn State, Maryland and Michigan in June; Coach Wilder Said He Would Call Coaches Fuente and Mendenhall to Attend The 757 choice was obvious but I'm really intrigued to see where else we go. There's been a lot of offers to Louisiana kids this year and a ton of talent there that LSU doesn't bother with. Wouldn't surprise me to see a camp there
Even Alabama is being cited for recruiting violations so yea.... they all cheat I'm not surprised in the least. I'm sure every school pulls some level of bullshit
Also in the news: Water is Wet.
Also in the news: You got to get in the thread early to beat TKP snark.
This guy was SEC recruiter of the year.
Well, now we know why. I'm sure everyone is just shocked.
Water is wet and the sky is blue

I honestly wonder what the split is on this issue between people who had to work their way through college vs people who had it paid for.
I would love to see a statistical analysis of this too. Would be interesting to see people's opinion on this based on age, political affiliation, financial status, etc.
I don't think it's that hard to do. My wife and I live in a 60 year old 900 square foot house and we racked up a $180 electric bill this January. Poor insulation, old doors, and cracked windows make it very easy. If it's anything like our house but bigger, I can see this being feasible.
It's a deeper socioeconomic issue than just "they don't understand the great opportunity the have." A lot of these players come from a family/city/school that doesn't prepare them to take advantage of this academic opportunity. Then when they get to their college, they feel so far behind that it's easier to have tutors feed them answers to their basket weaving homework than it is to get an actual education.
that's fair. I've never really thought of the NCAA as a money hogging entity making tons and tons of cash off of college students. I only hate them because the seem completely worthless when it comes to doing their actual job and schools all over the country are getting away with all kinds of shi* they shouldn't get away with. For $36.5M I would expect an institution to be more competent.
The system is quite obviously dysfunctional. I seriously dislike that schools are taking advantage of it because they know the risks are very low that anything will actually hurt them if they get caught. Mostly just bad PR and that can be smoothed over. People are forgetful. A year of chatter is just a drop in the bucket, really. But I don't necessarily blame the schools for taking advantage. I don't condone it, or support it, but I think the blame should fall at the feet of the governing body for not doing a damn thing about it.
Scholarship rules would destroy teams.
One winter in the village, we had $800 in electric bills in 3 months, including one $350 bill. Our doors/windows didn't seal well, and it was a cold winter. We tried to keep our apt at 67ish, didn't work well. We walked around in coats most of the day.
We got into it with management (FUCK YOU BECKY TOMLIN), and eventually got in touch with a regional manager from the company that owned the village. The morning before she was scheduled to visit, maintenance burst through the door and fixed our thermostat and some other things related to our heat. Bills were reasonable from then on.

# | ODU to Host Penn State, Maryland and Michigan in June; Coach Wilder Said He Would Call Coaches Fuente and Mendenhall to Attend When your tax dollars are the ones helping to fund them through their developmental years you kind of hope they don't bail to another state the second that investment could start paying off for the community at large.
No disagreement there, but I have to push back on the common, and largely false, notion that the NCAA is doing a Scrooge McDuck dive into money on the backs of poor college students. There are issues of profitability in NCAA sports, but those are largely on the schools' level, not so much the NCAA. Different issue entirely, though.

Looks like some kinda weird Mark Richt with a full head of gray hair.
Anybody of interest pitching rehab starts down in Salem at the moment? I remember going back when Dice-K was mounting his miserable comeback.
Rough night for Laremy.. Drop to the lowly Dolphins, missing out on a something like 8mil and then ax your college in the post draft interviews. Smart guy, lucky he has size!
4% is still roughly $36.5M. That's a pretty good chunk of change.
Remember they are a non-for-profit group that makes BILLIONS.
Not billions, though yes, just short of $1B (as reported for 2015, $912.3M). But they are a non-profit. 96% of their revenue is redistributed to member institutions. The remaining 4% is used to run central services in the NCAA.
Hahaha. Ole Miss will get investigated...findings will be lack of institutional control. They will get hammered by the NCAA. Meanwhile, UNCheat gets a slap on the wrist for acts that were an order of magnitude worse. Look at where the high ranking athletic personnel in each school resides with respect to NCAA and conference posts....will tell you all you need to know.
I have an 1800 sq ft house with new windows and doors, newly installed siding with a layer of exterior insulation, and a lot of attic insulation but all my heat is electric baseboard. I'm in Central PA and I usually have 3-4 months of electric bills per year that exceed $300. In the late spring, summer, and early fall, I pay less than $100 a month because I don't have A/C.
I'm not sure where his mom lives, but if she's up north, it isn't that uncommon. If she lives down south, then you could probably flip the higher costs to the summer and it would be just the reverse of what I pay. Not really surprised.
