    Infractions committees in all three National College Athletic Association divisions have imposed punishments in recent weeks, on sports programs at the College of Mount Saint Vincent, the University of Southern Indiana and California State University at Sacramento.

    • The NCAA's Division III Committee on Infractions ruled Thursday that a former soccer coach at Mount Saint Vincent arranged for his father to co-sign a student loan application for a recruited athlete, a violation of association rules governing extra benefits for athletes. The athletics director then violated ethical conduct rules by lying about approving the arrangement. Mount Saint Vincent must vacate victories in which the ineligible athlete participated and pay $1,000 fine.
    • A booster at Southern Indiana bought a men's basketball recruit a laptop and initiated a series of improper calls and text messages, the Division II Committee on Infractions found last month. The booster was disassociated from the program for five years.
    • Sacramento State failed to monitor its men's and women's tennis programs, and a former director of the tennis programs took advantage by breaking a wide range of recruiting, eligibility, financial aid and other rules over five years, the Division I Committee on Infractions ruled last month. The university barred its women's tennis team from postseason play for two years, among other penalties imposed by the institution and the NCAA.

    Holy hell.

    that's 89% less runs created than the average player.  i've never seen a lower number this many games in.

    Tony Pena had a -8 in 235 PA in 2008.

    11 is fucking impressive. 

    I know one dude who's not impressed.

    Casper Wells had a -10 wRC+ in 2013.

    He was somehow on 4 different ML rosters that season.  I guess because he was gritty and gutty.

    University auditors, managers and executives all accused Shoumaker of submitting time sheets that said he was clocking in at the law school even as his personal credit cards were being swiped in such far-flung destinations as Miami, Florida and California, the document says. 

    Wait, this dumbass handed over his personal credit card receipts???

    As early as the spring of 2016, a supervisor said Shoumaker had "started to not be around" and "didn't seem to be doing his job anymore," according to the affidavit. 

    One of my rules of thumb is that if someone doesn't "seem to be doing his job anymore," but you're not absolutely sure that he's not doing his job, then his job is probably  unnecessary.  

    But what do I know?  I'm not an administrative supervisor at UT.

    i'm loving this thread. 

     

    i wash out ziploc bags and reuse them. 

    My wife does that.  I throw them away when they dry.

    They spring leaks easily, which ends up spoiling the food you put in them, which costs you more than using a new Ziploc bag.

    Meanwhile on the Astros thread, you’d think most posters feel the 2018 Astros squad is worse than that ‘88 O’s squuad 

    I haven't visited lately, and will probably even stay away during the AZ series, but I assume that utgrad97 still wants to fire Hinch like he did DURING the playoffs last season?

    Cleveland is actually pretty nice this time of year. Great museums, nice downtown, lots of history, good pubs/clubs.... if you could just avoid being there from November until March, it would be really nice.

    There's nothing wrong with Ohio
    Except the snow and the rain
    I really like Drew Carey
    And I'd love to see the rock 'n' roll hall of fame

  9. I don't know what happened, but we seriously have more of these little buggers in my yard right now than I've ever seen anywhere in my life.  

    I went outside for a couple of minutes to watch, and had several of them land on me.
