The 10th Circuit has agreeded with the NCAA, the judge did not have the authority to make that ruling.

Secondly who is going to call in the debt?

20% is owed to Social Security, so they might want their money.
Federal Reserve has another 16%.
Throw in what is owed to pension funds, mutual funds, saving bonds and you are getting close to half the debt.

Conferences aren't located in the same state as the colleges in question. Unlike the NCAA they will have to go to a federal court to get an injunction.

re: Advice? Senior dog suffering from arthritis

Posted by TigerintheNO on 8/18/26 at 6:53 pm to BluegrassCardinal

My soon to be 14 year old dog has horrible arthritis, had to carry up stairs.

We put him on Cosequin, It took a few weeks 3-4, then we started to see a noticeable difference. He has been going up and down the stairs on his own for a few months now.

20 reasons why Wendy's may be doomed

quote:
No one cares anymore that Wendy's sells square burgers. Why does anyone need a square burger?

No one puts much thought into Wendy's tagline about selling fresh beef. It's 2026 — we expect all beef from a fast food joint to taste like it's fresh.

The company's foray into breakfast has failed mightily. I would not be surprised if Wright shuts down the breakfast program in 2027.

It's 5 million miles behind all rivals on a traffic-driving beverage (coffee, energy drinks, etc.) platform.

It has no meaningful rewards program like Chipotle (CMG), McDonald's, and Starbucks.

The mobile app looks like an afterthought.

The food has gotten too expensive.

Some Wendy's restaurants — like the one near where I live — look like they haven't been updated since 1987. Other chains have aggressively updated the looks of their locations.

The company truly has no signature sandwich like the Whopper or Big Mac.

Not spotted: a great value menu.

No one cares about the Frosty.

GLP-1s are coming for the entire fast food industry.

My delivery orders show up sloppy, time and time again.

Wendy's has long lost its way on chicken sandwiches.

It's a bowl-eating fast food space.

Taco Bell owns the late night business.

Convenience stores are becoming increasingly important as stop-in places for breakfast and lunch.

Franchisees are finding other, newer concepts to invest in for the long-term.

It's virtually a non-factor in the urban-dining fast food scene.

Wendy's is known more for baked potatoes than for french fries. That's a problem for a place selling hamburgers.

re: Inability to afford homes and essentials pushed birth rates to record lows

Posted by TigerintheNO on 8/15/26 at 12:06 pm to UltimaParadox

The chart show births per woman, keep in mind the infant mortality rate was very high back in 1880s. Over 15% wouldn't see their first birthday, another 5-10% would pass before the age of 5.
