re: Ncaa vs players???

IDK but they could just pass a rule that any college using a player ruled ineligible under an injuction isn't eligble for the playoffs in their sport.
Nice in theory, but the ncaaa doesnt grant a championship in football. Plus i'd assume that any committee or body that penalizes the team for playing the player can expect a lawsuit coming their way. So until cfb adopts a professional football structure, the court system is governing college football and any organziation that wantz to fight against that better have a stomach for lawsuits
The court rulings not only make the players eligible, the rulings often protect the team from issues involving forfeiture in games the involved player plays in
Finally, the texas tech court case just showed you the NCAA can make any rule they want and it does not matter if a court says otherwise

The implications go beyond just gambling
This creates an issue with the governance of college football itself, regardless of the rule, unlike any of the items mentioned in the OP.
This was a black and white rule, no room for interpretation, with past instances of enforcement, that this court just said must be ignored. This removed the last tooth the NCAA had and verified that the only governing body of ncaa football is the court system

Tigers haven't won in Oxford since before Covid was a thing.
I believeve there is possible correlation that goes with this, we last won there in 2019, I remember something changing with ole miss fottball soon after that, can't quite my finger on it but it was around december 2020. But indeed we did not beat them in the 3 times we played them in oxford since our last win there and that change, whatever it was, ocurred

A&M, Arkansas, Tennessee, Texas and Vanderbilt all spend more NIL on baseball than LSU.
Do they?
I am not privy to their NIL deals, I am not even privy to LSU NIL deals
I know that we do not spend the most in revenue share for baseball though

a solid way to distort the stats slo would be proud
Who is getting shot and where matters to me
The purpose of my comparison in the 2 archives is not to define what a mass shooting is, it’s to place perspective when you see that 170 mass shootings number and to show that perhaps it is not any more prevalent than it was 3 decades ago. It’s important to know why the numbers are what they are
The gun violence archive only started tracking in 2014
The MJ archive can only tell us which years had the most indiscriminate public mass shootings. Which was 35 in 1999. Gang violence was certainly no less prominent in the 90s in fact it was worse, as it was the height of the turf wars. So I don’t think adding gang related mass shootings to the 35 number would being doing 1999 any favors in comparison to today’s number
So when someone says “longing for the time of columbine” …that is a time where gang related violence was just as bad if not worse and a time where you were statically more likely to be killed in an indiscriminate public mass shooting. It leads me to believe they are comparing the numbers we get from the new method of defining mass shooting to the numbers you get from the older previous method, and making a determination on that as if the statistics were 1:1
Our times are more polarized politically, socially, and racially than that time and our news is 24/7 and essentially 100% negative. This makes us look far more fondly on the past, which is fair because our day to day was much less full of controversy then, but that also has a tendency to make us apply that fondness across the board to things that weren’t necessarily better
Plus I’m not a fan of the national gun violence archive mass shooting definition because that definition is used to argue for restrictions on the 2nd amendment for legal gun owners when statistically those mass shootings are being committed by people who have illegally obtained their guns

That’s great and all, but if I’m deciding what time period I’m longing for in regards to mass shootings, I’m going to pick the one where I’m statistically less likely to be involved in the crossfire
But that’s just me

Who knew we'd long for the days of Colombine
The year of Columbine, according to the mother jones investigation database, there were 35 mass shootings
There have been 3 so far in 2026
This is the database that excludes armed robberies, domestic disputes, and gang violence from the mass shooting statistics. It has to be an indiscriminate mass public shooting.
The gun violence archive does not account for these, and counts any incident where 4 or more people are shot, which is statistically overwhelmingly gang related and in gang-infested areas. This statistic only goes back to 2014 so we cannot use it going back as far as columbine
Coincidentally enough, the year of columbine and the following year had the most indiscriminate mass public shooting in the country going back to at least 1985 up until the present, but probably goes back even farther than that

The best team doesn’t always win. One millimeter off on a fastball is the difference between a 3-run homer and an inning-ending out.
