I see unimportant stuff like economics and nutrition science and the human brain and color impact, etc here.
None of the stuff I consume with the fires of 1000 heels like the biology of yeast and chemistry of water or any of that stuff that pertains to brewing.
If you give me nothing to throw my money at, WTF am I supposed to do? Sit here and continue to sip my flanders red?

# | Bitter blog - Babcock offers clarification on player fines, shuts down entire practice but if you want monetary consequences for negative actions, then you need to also offer monetary rewards for positive actions.
Virginia State Police has taken hundreds from me in speeding ticket fines. Never once have they recompensed me for being courteous when it wasn't required of me.
Good ole gobblercountry already has two articles up featuring it!
If Marshall sees a single snap at DE, things have gone horribly wrong.
I haven't seen it yet, but I swear if I see some combination of the words "fine" and "gate"....
Gotcha. I interpreted that as "should be playing up to speed with the club."
Good to hear.
Bills may be giving him a last chance to look good for potential trade bait. There's always a team willing to take a QB cast-off for a back-up.
I agree with this.
Obviously Noah Brown's injury was from contact, but now so many of these injuries are non-cointact.
You've got to think we're reaching the tolerances of the tendons/ligaments with these thoroughbred athletes which highlights any imbalances.

# | Report: Cincinnati's Tommy Tuberville may withhold money from players (Sports Illustrated) Even after the monitor pictures were released this afternoon I've seen more on ESPN's website about this than about our own situation. Shoutouts to Cinci for taking some of the heat off.
Thought they were talking about us so I clicked on it; apparently not. I thought it was Penn State? Or was it Texas?
project and operations manager for a medium-sized educational media company.
stuff is top-notch and very in depth.
We have a lot of fantastic content taught by leading experts.
GREEN THIS POST GOD-DANGIT!
Right idea, dare I even say Coach trying to instill the "Beamer Way". But...wrong method, especially in today's NCAA climate. The coaches make a lot of money and have to get creative in how they teach discipline, accountability and toughness to players nowadays, with the ever growing "blame someone else culture" we live in this was a lack of general forward thinking on their part. Anything and Everything in this country can be put under a microscope quicker than you can hit delete.
Having said all that, for the love of God, if this is all that people have to attack Frank on and this ends up being his big perception black eye, then I will take that allllllll g-damn day for him, the rest of the coaches, and our program!
In other words, he;s not sure what he wants to do fo ra living but for right now, he pays the rent by running on a treadmill.
I bet he'd like to be put out to pasture to stud.
Not happenin'. Need good genes for that.
Why does it seem like very few of us are surprised by this and that I don't find the fines excessive?
This just seems piddly to me.
Is it due to a military stint that this stuff seems well below my radar?
Much ado about nothing.

That's a link to a David Teel article.
"There's been some aspect of (fines) over time that Coach Beamer has done," Babcock said
Several people have mentioned the story about Aaron Rouse being fined in 2006 for unsportsmanlike conduct.
My understanding here is that players have been being fined for various things throughout the course of the season and the money taken out of bowl stipends. Somebody correct me here if I'm wrong.
Not sure yet
400 posts suggest this was an awesome topic, btw
Sounds lucrative. How can I become one?
I just started a new job. My supervisor popped in to my office today and asked what the countdown was.

# | Report: Cincinnati's Tommy Tuberville may withhold money from players (Sports Illustrated) Wow, Whit Babcock shut this down immediately in his defense, and now his old school is trying to go ahead with it. Cincy has definitely shifted some of the attention off of us. Seems like it was a conversation that needed to be had. Nobody has any idea what the COL impact is going to be

# | Report: Cincinnati's Tommy Tuberville may withhold money from players (Sports Illustrated) It is not a good idea to fine student athletes that don't even get pay. It would make sense if they are paid employees.
Coach Beamer has been doing it right for 29 years by making violators run at 6 in the morning.
If they are given a bowl stipend, and all general living expenses are provided for, how do they not have money? UVA players must have to pay in just to live, forget punishments.
Wait, where was it reported that we were doing it for years?
If I didn't see it then it doesn't exist!
