  1. NCAA Funds their championships and all tournaments from D1 profits. If NCAA loses the D1 gravy train, mostly from the BB tournament, they cannot fund D2 and D3 tournaments and those school cannot afford to fund their own, Same is true for the FCS playoffs as that is break even at best and many teams lose money.. At least that is my guess.
  2. Other than Tax evasion and the gun thing is there a case against Hunter Biden at all?
  3. Fresno had a sh@t president nobody liked at the time
  4. "A measure aimed at slowing what critics call the “corporatization” of Oregon health care handily passed the Oregon House of Representatives on Thursday. The bill requires, among other things, that the top officers of a corporation offering medical services be doctors, nurses or other medical professionals." https://www.oregonlive.com/politics/2024/02/measure-to-reduce-corporate-influence-in-oregon-health-care-passes-house.html A 2022 study conducted by researchers at the Oregon Health & Science University supports the notion that corporate ownership leads to higher prices. The study, led by Jane Zhu, an OHSU assistant professor of medicine, found that after being bought out by private equity firms, clinics saw more patients and also billed them more. (The study did not determine whether patients’ health outcomes improved or suffered.)
  5. Interesting. Like Beaver Poke, I had heard the MWC had asked for almost $1 million per team and the WCC was far cheaper.
  6. Article say for every $1 spent on enforcement you get $6 in taxes paid.
  7. Interesting. Why not go after these people to the tune of $150 billion a year. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/02/22/tax-evasion-by-wealthiest-americans-tops-150-billion-a-year-irs.html
  8. Dick Cheney. Deficits don't matter
  9. Nebraska: https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-medical-schools/university-of-nebraska-medical-center-04063#:~:text=University of Nebraska Medical Center 2023-2024 Rankings,widely accepted indicators of excellence. UCF: ( much lower rated) https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-medical-schools/university-of-central-florida-04156
  10. Nebraska is the number 8th ranked primary care medical school in the nation. good grief
  11. So Florida State, Florida, Miami, and all the other Florida schools do not produce engineers? good grief
  12. The money the departing teamsa re leaving is to cover current PAC lawsuits, and there are several of them, and debts incurred by them leaving. PAC has over $60 million coming from the NCAA BB credits but that is over 10 years. They simply do not have much liquid cash. Given the budget cuts they are looking at, helping with exit fees for a marginally better media deal is probably very very low on the list of things they want to do with the $$ they have.
  13. Yep and WSU pres said there is not a lot of support for paying OSU and WSU like Power conference schools after 2025. The PAC is dead as a power conference and cannot be rebuilt with better CFP access then MWC already has
  14. The buy out is to keep that $5 - $6 million coming in every year
  15. 5 conference champions get in and there are only 4 power conferences as the PAC 2 are not eligible.
  16. https://www.tsn.ca/ncaa/college-football-playoff-officially-confirms-5-7-format-for-12-team-expansion-1.2078599 SO wonder what happened to the Pac 2 objections
  17. or a MED school. One of the top med schools in the nation for primary care at UN.. nah you are way off
