  1. So they want to send money to people to pay their medical bills directly instead of insurance? Is that what I read? So do the bills come out at the uninsured rate? I’m literally sitting in pre admission meetings for a surgery and got the notice that the cost will be $1,000 out of pocket which is adjusted from $88k because I’m insured. I’ll never understand why so many voters are so strongly against any legitimate changes to this fucked up system.
  2. Ugh, so Bamas probably gonna cancel the OKST series huh. Was really looking forward to it (assuming Coach Morris gets us back on track).
  3. Lol, Big XII doesn’t have enough Boston Colleges or Wake Forests’ for Notre Dames’ taste. They couldn’t even nut up to play BYU.
  4. Especially the ones who still dress like early 2000’s hipsters.
  5. So if the athletic department becomes a for profit entity how can they still pretend that the athletes aren’t employees? Everything is now private and for profit…except the primary labor input. The farce needs to end. They are paid employees, should be allowed to unionize, and enter into a CBA.
  6. I’m so glad they did that symbolic vote. Symbolic af. Just dropping in symbolism. I’m shocked I tells ya.
  7. Keep it fair, blue!
  8. Yeah, I'd be pretty pissed too. It makes no sense. I bet cooler heads would have prevailed if given more time.
  9. I mean we already did that, after the philly and kc wins I allowed myself an ounce of hope before it all crashed letting detroit abuse us and finding out that philly and kc are actually kind of shitty.
  10. I'm on board with 24 and including top 2 G5 champs (or top 6 ranked conference champs). Those last teams will usually be legitimately within, or close enough to, the top 24 that it won't be such a drastic drop from Miami to Tulane/JMU and won't exclude those in between which seems to be the biggest issue with this year's bracket. It would also make them earn the first round win to play a top 8 team. It also solves the opt-out issue since there won't be top 25 teams playing meaningless bowl games with opt-outs and gives the people more meaningful football during the holiday season. I'd also do away with the CCGs, although it might make sense for the G5 conferences to make their rivalry week slate flexible to match their top two teams for a defacto championship game and to boost their SOS to the extent possible within the G5 context.
  11. Why don't they just get themselves a billionaire cookie guy?
  12. I guess I’ll add the obvious reasoning too, it would make qualifying for the CCG a detriment. That said, I’m for doing away with the CCGs because they’ve gotten stupid and largely meaningless (in the grand scheme, IU winning is kinda cool but that’s indivualized and not all that helpful to the system). We knew mega conferences and unequal scheduling would be a problem but it’s gone full absurd right off the bat. A four way tie for two spots in the SEC CCG, and a five way tie for the second spot in the ACC CCG resulting in a 5 loss champion and a non CCG participant from that league in the playoff. In conference SOS was the tiebreaker being something that is entirely out of the teams control. If someone had predicted this scenario last year or the year before they’d sound hysterical and over the top. Award conference trophy on record and tiebreakers and expand the playoff.
  13. It’s really, really fucking simple. CCGs can affect seeding but a loss won’t exclude you if you were in before the CCG. Only real issue is they should have dropped to 10 if for no other reason than to prevent the two rematches.
