re: Karmelo Anthony to be allowed to graduate

You edited to this, but before said

You are correct, he is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, however, is it not against school policy to bring a weapon to campus or a school event? At minimum he should be expelled for that.

Do you really believe it’s luck that the baseball team is having success? Come on man, there’s plenty of talent on that team and Barbier has proven to be a good coach with a damn good staff.
No, sorry if I wasn't clear. Barbier is crushing it. Very impressed with how quickly he turned the team around.
It was a bit of luck that the messy break up with Riser and then the quick turn around hire of Barbier, who did not have an impressive resume at NWSU, has worked out for Artigues.

Softball won the conference and I believe volleyball did too.
Softball has been an SLC powerhouse, and volleyball had one of the longest win streaks in the country at one point. Women's soccer had some solid years the last few years, and women's basketball won the SLC regular season and made the SLC tournament finals. Overall, LSU is probably the only better women's athletics program in the state.

NIL and facility upgrades money at SLU, in Hammond, isn’t easy.
The whole university needs to be better about fundraising and branding. I went all over Covington and Mandeville trying to find my son an SLU shirt during football season and couldn't find anything. That's nuts that 25 minutes from campus you can't get SLU gear. Not saying it needs to be as big of a display as LSU or anything, but like 2 options would be nice.
I give what I can, which currently isn't anything significant in the grand scheme of things, but it's because I want to, not because the school ever solicits it. I get numerous calls a year from LSU Law School asking for donations.

Complaining about Artigues is shallow. Most sports are competing at a high level in their respective divisions on a very limited budget.
Just lost one of the most successful women's basketball coaches in SLU history to McNeese.
Firing Riser maybe was justified, but the process was very sketchy. It's working out for sure, but seems more luck than anything.
Scelfo had to get an offer from Lamar to get a raise, and was truly a foot out the door. He turned around and hired his son with no experience to be the OC.
Fremin is going to get a big offer at him this season, it'll be interesting how he navigates that situation
Construction on the facilities upgrades are way behind. NIL money raised are minimal. Marketing is almost non-existent.
It's not that Jay is doing a bad job, it's that he could be doing a better job.

New Orleans is a wonderful city to visit, easily one of the most enjoyable in the US.
New Orleans is slightly above hell as a place to live permanently.

ETA: SLU won a weekend series at Memphis during non-conference play this season
A bad pitch away from a sweep at that. I wasn’t a fan of how the Riser situation was handled but Barbier has been a pleasant surprise.
If SLU had McNeese’s leadership in the admin and athletic department they would be a dominating mid major. Alas we have another president who mildly cares about athletics, an AD who cares more about his travel ball program, and a sports marketing department that does the best they can with table scraps.

Hammond, America runs the SLC!!! Back to back walk off conference titles over MacNiece a year apart exactly on their home field. Baseball ended a crazy 10 game losing streak to Nickels to take the regular season title.
Decent showing in the SLC tournament should get us in the tournament. Blew 4-5 games that would probably have secured us a bid, and probably a 2 seed.

If we are to assume cops are public servants and MADD type groups cared about public safety, they would be funding things like free Uber codes from bars or having cops do breathalyzers in parking lots of big bars instead of setting up checkpoints a mile away.
DWI’s are for revenue not safety.

I say this completely in jest as I have some very good Protestant friends, and they do a way better job in keeping people in my age group (under 35) attending services than us Catholics do. I have noticed a rebirth amongst my age range though in Catholics returning to church.

For persons present in the U.S. that did not enter legally all the government must show is that the person is foreign born, then the burden shifts to the person
Fair enough rebuttable. The government still technically has first burden, proving alienage, but it typically is an extremely simple burden to meet.

The burden has never been on the government to prove you aren’t legal.
No it very much initially is. The burden is on the government to prove by clear and convincing evidence that the person is subject to removal under a section of the INA. Once they meet that burden it then shifts to the person to prove to varying levels depending on type of relief that they have a basis to stay in the US.

Same way that has been happening since the passage of the INA.

As someone who has a career in this field, and vehemently disagree politically with 97% of the others in this field this is my biggest rub.
The termination of CHNV? Started under Biden, no news until Trump terminated.
Random pick ups of people? Biden re-started in early 2024, no federal judge blocked it.
Circumventing Lawful Pathway bar to asylum? No news articles, and it is way more restrictive than the Third Country Transit bar Trump had blocked in term 1.
