That part actually seems kind of pedantic to me. So you imported some goods for a remodel. Is that problematic? And that electronic track, I want that at VT yesterday.

Oregon built a really nice locker room and a track that will reap benefits for the S&C program. In my mind, what Clemson is doing here is categorically different.

A reminder that Tyrod is the man:

Tyrod Taylor Gives Each of His Linemen a 65-Inch HDTV

Tyrod Taylor had a few special someones on his Christmas shopping list this year—his linemen.

And he delivered big time.

The Buffalo Bills quarterback left them each a 65-inch Samsung HDTV by their lockers, per the Buffalo News' Tyler Dunne.

Nope but the answers to the questions are in those threads.

Do you work for 247?

I'm not VIP but I've heard we're not one of them and we've lost out.

Yep, right there with you.

That's the thing. Those sham classes, those cars and lodging, they're definitely bad, but for the most part that didn't really impact the average student too much. But to build a $55M facility as essentially a young adult playground with exclusive membership to a select few who don't pay for their education while the average student is stuck with aging facilities and being saddled with enormous amounts of student debt, knowing the funds that are going towards this kind of facility is coming from the pool of money you're going to be peer pressured to give into after graduation on top of paying off your student debt is going to make this ugly fast.

If this kind of thing starts spreading to other schools, the backlash is going to get ugly, and its going to come from within.

Very quietly there has been a movement growing to try and cut back on the expenditures that is making student debt so massively bad for graduates, and things like this, even if they are being paid privately, are going to be the rallying cry for real change. This is excess. While your average student is saddled with 5 figure debt after graduation likely needing decades to pay it off, schools are more focused on the athletic and academic arms race, with costs being passed along to the students. The status quo isn't going to last.

Weird because everything I've read is we have no shot with him because of Beamer leaving.

I think I read he posted a Top 3 without us in it, not sure why 247 hasn't updated.

About that...... No thanks. I am pretty sure that if the good guys join the arms race and put a product out there that I can't be proud of; that is the time I walk away. This is collegiate sports, not the NFL. 99% of these players are just simply students doing an extracurricular activity, nothing more.

The World Cup is a national event, so you don't have to isolate it, you spread it around like they did in Brazil. There are what, 8 Groups in the World Cup Stage Round? So you need at least 8 venues for that round across the country. LA, NY, Miami, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Seattle, and Denver to create a fairly even regional split. Elimination rounds in NY, LA, Chicago, and Miami. World Cup Final in LA or NY.

Of course, the infrastructure to make this happen is already in place, but that's the exact reason the World Cup isn't coming. There's no cash cow for the WC leaders to siphon money off of in venue development to pad their checkbooks. We could literally host without investing a dime into development, and that makes us unattractive as a host.

That's some good eatin too!!

Dumbest thing I've heard all morning and I've been at work since 8.
What a joke.
