As someone with a brother and father who went to Michigan State, who has worked with a number of insufferable Michigan grads/fans, and had to leave the Superdome listening to U of M fans talking as though they "won" that game...well, let's just say it's not just Pac-12 referees I don't like.

I get a little over $800 for my three bedroom unit off South Main.

I'M WELL AWARE OK

looks like maybe the edge of an orange jersey covered shoulder pad?

Shoot, I had a 4 BR in University Terrace for $880, had a running lease for like 8 years so they kept the same rental agreement somehow.

It was 650 year one and 700 year two. It was on Houston Street so it was right by campus too. I could pick up the wifi from that international center.

One of these years...

Then you'll all see the error of your ways.

$700? Man, we only charge $650 for our two bedroom basement apartment and it's two blocks from Goodwin Hall. It's not the nicest place, but hardly a dump. We need to rethink our pricing for next year.

I think you might be right.

That looks pretty cool.

What if you just took the offense list and, instead of fining players actual money, instituted some sort of a demerit points system for violation?. For instance, just assign a certain demerit point value for certain offenses, and within a week or so period, a certain level of cumulative demerit points can result in varying levels of punishment. A point or two gets you a seat in Beamer's office and a stern talking to, and higher levels could result in extra drills/conditioning work, mandatory volunteer work on campus or in town, staying after practice to clean the locker room, etc. A high level of demerits could result in suspensions for quarters or an entire game.

I recognize that if you separate the money aspect from the violations, most people would be in favor of something like this. It was just a poorly conceived idea by the staff, and I agree that this COA is uncharted territory with lots of trial and error to play out. Some of the offenses are pretty ridiculous; you shouldn't have to tell a college student-athlete to behave in class or clean their dorm room. But something like a point system that takes away a player's free time, and in more severe cases their playing time, could be appropriate to address accountability.

I know back in the day you could rent a 4 br suite at HR on N. Main for around 1200. Looks like it's up to around 1600 now.

Good affordable housing is available if you don't mind having roommates.
