Also, we need to pay informants 10% of fines collected. Hell, you may get some illegals self reporting- That would stop companies from knowingly hiring illegals.

I don't see how it will be adequate. If they don't test it on animals, then, by default, people will be the test animals.

So the tests will be done in people instead of animals?

In BR, on the levee, it’s the E-bikes. Typically, the cyclists are normal weight or less, the people on e-bikes can be obese. They can fly down the levee, it’s probably a matter of time before someone get smashed.

Pensacola fishing- August

Posted by junior on 6/1/26 at 10:57 am

Typically, we vacation around Pensacola early June- this year we can't make it until early August.

Is it worth getting a charter trip at that time? Seems like we just miss the Fla snapper season. I'd rather not troll for mackerel.

That’s why US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, chief health department adviser Chris Klomp, German Ambassador Jens Hanefeld, and the rest of the Trump administration took the unprecedented step of demanding that Germany raise their own costs on prescription drugs. If a drug costs $10 in Germany, there is no reason Americans should pay $1,000 for it. This plan not only saves Americans money but will make life-saving medications more affordable for those who need them most.

Instead of the USA trying to force other countries to control prices, the USA should tell drug companies that the largest market for their drugs will only accept the cheapest price.

re: Should the NCAA make students be enrolled for 1 year before they play?

Posted by junior on 5/20/26 at 10:08 am to PeleofAnalytics

I'm not sure it would get struck down. Students (even freshmen) could still get NIL It doesn't prevent them from making money. Seems like a school should be able to say who can play on their team.

(Maybe all students get place on probation until they have 30 hours and at least a 2.5GPA. Then forbid students from playing while on probation.)

I know it sucks (It would be bad for LSU baseball) but I can't think of any other way to change the direction of college sports.

More than likely, I'll either need to embrace the new normal or give up on college sports.

Should the NCAA make students be enrolled for 1 year before they play?

Posted by junior on 5/20/26 at 8:57 am

OK to participate in practice, but couldn't play until they have completed 2 semesters at the school.

I'm not sure if it would hold up to legal challenge, but it would help fix some serious issues.

Will Wade isn't getting Euro pros if that's the rule.
Harder to poach players from other schools.

Its not great, I'd love to hear any better suggestions.

I don’t like the current rules, buts it’s better than the prior rules.

Zion Williamson turned down 300k from Kansas and went to Duke for free? (And his parents had a 750k home on a teachers salary?) No way Coach K was clean.

Yes, Wade is exploiting the rules. I hope they change the rules. I’m not sure how you change the rules after O’Bannon vs NCAA..

Bama football was only off of probation a couple of years before they got caught cheating again. The NCAA basically said uncle, when it refused to give Bama the death penalty- like SMU, after the Albert Means scandal.

Personally, I think the IVYs have it right. No cash or scholarship to play college sports..

But that's not reality for everyone else. Hell, even coach K was dirty.
If we can hire pros, go get the best players LSU can afford.

Robert Redford's Downhill Racer is probably more appropriate for this board.

I'm sorry, if you're over a certain age and are a professional over there you (shouldn't be able) to play COLLEGE basketball. If you're 21 and have been drafted, same rules apply.

I agree w the above,
men 22-25 yo with years of professional basketball experience is an unfair advantage. But if it's the rules, might as well take advantage while you can.
