Not to be a wet blanket but I don't see the logistics for the Big 10 working out with these additions over the long haul. All that travel will be just too much for the schools. It will be less awful for the Big 12 but its still suboptimal... Just saying but I believe the over/under for the NFL preseason game between the Jets and Browns Thursday was 37 points. The final was a 21-16 victory for Cleveland. Las Vegas is in midseason form... Wonder if I'll ever be acclimated to USC and UCLA belonging in the Big 10. Seems so strange. And now I have to deal with Washington and Oregon in the Big 10 too? Bizarre... If I were President for a day I'd remove the ability to attach the earnings of retirees to repay student loans (huge mistake by George W. Bush) and I would also (like Ron DeSantis) allow student debt loans to be included in normal bankruptcy proceedings. I too would make the universities responsible for those loans in the end plus I would also stipulate that any university with an endowment over $500 million would be responsible for the debt now instead of the government. And that moving forward universities would be responsible for all college debt (that should give them second thoughts on offering degrees in Taylor Swift Theory and other worthless subjects). Basically they would be now co-signing the student loans... World Swimming Governing Body is banning transgender athletes from competing against women. Critics are saying the governing body doesn't care about the feelings of people like Lia Thomas. Others saying that people like Lia Thomas don't care about the rights of the women they are competing against. I side with the latter... Why hasn't Taylor Swift commented on college football realignment? What is she trying to hide?... Think when the book is written about Diane Feinstein the point where we are currently at will simply be described as "old woman elected to Senate loses her mind." How am I wrong?... For the record - I've fully paid off all of my college debt long ago... Let me be the first to call the Pac 12 a desiccated husk and also mention that suddenly nobody gives a damn if the Pac 12 ever signs a TV deal... Anyone hear from Jack Ma recently?... Principle of Mediocrity would be a good name for a blog or Substack account about politics... The Biden Administration gives off neo-creationist vibes. They have no idea what they are doing or why something is happening but they act as if there is some sort of design behind it. They call this Bidenomics... Swear I quit watching ESPN's Playmakers halfway through the season because I thought the plots were way too over the top. Turns out they were actually underselling what life was like in the NFL... Watching a Pac-12 game this yar will be like trying to have a conversation with someone with stage 4 cancer. It will be so awkward. What an epic mess up... Reminder - there's no vaccine for stupidity... The Rose Bowl going forward after this year will be interesting. There's no way the traditional Pac 12 vs Big 10 champs matchup remains in place. Why would Michigan or Ohio State want to play Stanford or Cal? What's going to happen there? Know its part of the Bowl Alliance and playoff but still...
