  1. Every day? It's a good movie, but that seems excessive.
  2. I do not know anything about this particular case, but to clarify, statutory rape is a strict liability crime. If someone is underage, it is totally irrelevant whether she said she was of age.
  3. To the extent it was even a requirement at all. Maryland and Michigan didn’t play a P5 school in nonconference last year.
  4. I would be pretty surprised if many schools scheduled FCS games seven years in advance, but college football is crazy, so it's possible. Also, it looks like that rule only lasted for one season and now half of the schools each year can play FCS schools: https://www.si.com/fannation/college/cfb-hq/ncaa-football-schedule/big-ten-football-schedule-change-2024
  5. Nine Big Ten teams played FCS schools last year, so I suppose that number could go up a little.
  6. This has the same problem of only taking one year into account - a year that happens to have been the best year for the Big 12 in a long time and one that is unlikely to be repeated. If you take 2022, for example, The Big 12 had 1 first rounder if you count Cincinnati, while the Pac 12 had 3 (none from UCLA/USC) and the ACC had 4 (from BC, Pitt, FSU, NC State).
  7. I think you are right that they should join the Big Ten regardless of how little they are offered just because they will probably eventually get a full share, but it's not guaranteed. I do not think the Big Ten is eager to add UW and UO, so let's say the highest they offer them is a 1/3 share for the rest of the TV contracts without the guarantee of a full share when the new agreements are negotiated. In that scenario, I could see where it may be better for them to stay in the Pac 12 and try to build their brand for the next several years. Either way, i think this is a theoretical exercise, as I do not think the Big Ten is going to offer them anything anytime soon.
  8. I was just noting that you are including the midwest in the talent rich areas, but it's really just the south, including Texas, Arizona, and CA. So far this year, Big Ten country (not including CA) has only one five star, an Indiana player committed to tOSU. Arizona has two. Last year was a bit better with three (Detroit - UCLA, Iowa - Alabama, and PA - PSU). The midwest has some top athletes, but it's not really more than the west.
  9. At least they changed course and are now giving out the film to those they cut: https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/36297854/colorado-give-transferring-players-access-practice-film
  10. Colorado and UCLA also landed 5 stars. Either way, I'm not sure that is saying a ton, because Ohio State was the only team in the entire Big Ten to land a five star and TX/OU were the only teams in the entire Big 12 to land five stars (and only FSU, Clemson, and Miami in the ACC). Having four schools land five stars (two of which are presumably staying) is actually quite good compared to the non-SEC conferences.
  11. This may be the best bet to get something changed, as teams with more sports and academic success may be willing to go along with the brand-name football teams. However, I agree with the sentiment below - any change is going to be small and will not make FSU or anyone else enough money to stick around in 13 years. If I'm Boston College or Wake Forest, I'm sticking to my guns and assuming those schools are out as soon as they get an offer to leave no matter how much money the ACC funnels to them.
  12. He said 7 home games, which means all of the out of conference games have to be home games, so I doubt it is a realistic goal every year.
  13. Maybe he’s looking for a coach with a track record of making it to an elite 8.
  14. I have 16 parks - have not been to a new one since my son was born and the world shut-down in early 2020. We visited O.Co in 2016 when in town for the Texas-Cal game (ugh). We bought last minute tickets in the second deck for almost nothing and there were three other people in our section. I do not remember the game, but I remember the guy that bought a hot dog and sat down in the corner of the section to eat it. The stadium employee immediately stopped him and asked him to see his ticket and he ignored her and pretended he couldn't talk with the hot dog in his mouth. The employee eventually got another employee, who got security, and by the end of the half-inning, there were a dozen guys trying to interrogate this guy sitting in an almost completely empty section of a mostly empty stadium. He walked off at the end of the half-inning after finishing his hot dog. I tried to buy a stuffed animal for my sister on the way out and the gift shop was basically totally empty because apparently they did not want to restock because the season was almost over.
  15. Unless it has changed in the last few years, UVA gives priority basketball tickets to students that go to non-revenue sports games, not football games. Also, it doesn't really matter, but Scott Stadium (61,500 capacity) is bigger than WVU and the same size as ISU - but much smaller than South Carolina, which has a pretty big stadium. I know that UVA does value winning in football, but they just have not figured out how to do it consistently.
  16. You're probably overthinking it. Certainly men buy a lot of coach for their spouses and girlfriends, but I will also note that there used to be two coach stores in the mall near here - one for men's products, so they obviously sell men's products as well.
  17. If you're going to count New York state as included in the Big Ten, you should probably include Virginia as well, as Maryland is bigger in the main population center of Virginia than Rutgers is in New York City.
  18. My favorite part of the rendering is all of the orange people who are wandering aimlessly in random directions spaced all along the sidewalk.
  19. My guess is not until the guys we want decide where they are going.
  20. Does the track cut through the endzones?
  21. Virginia Tech had not been ranked in the AP poll in over 20 years in 1977 - they appeared in a single poll in the 37 years from 1956 and 1993 (the final poll of 1986). At least WVU was sporadically ranked in the 1970s.
