Yes. The real story right now in college athletics is how it has just become the latest thing for billionaires and private equity vultures to take over and destroy. Allowing these "people" to continue taking control of every aspect of our society to treat as their own personal playgrounds is fricking absurd.

There was a big slap fight over on Reddit about that the other day. I thought it was common knowledge that he got divorced a few years ago, but apparently not.

Knowing nothing I'd guess this ils an Oklhoma "insider" wanting to claim their NIL is below par for whatever reasons more than anything.

Agreed. Based on that number they'd probably be paying just Pack and Reid like 30-50% of their entire NIL budget. That's a writer carrying the water for an administration that doesn't seem to know what it's doing with basketball. Moser was an odd hire for that program and they seem to be ignoring the fact that it just hasn't worked by giving him another year for no apparent reason. Gotta make excuses to keep the fans optimistic though.

It has always been strange to me how these sort of narratives exist in relation to a postseason format that is prone to chaos. Especially now when there is more parity than ever. We have good players too. Philon and Allen are future NBA guys. Odds are we'll lose, possibly badly, but it's like 70/30 and it wouldn't be any kind of historic upset if we won.

Should be an easy decision for Byrne to make. Oats is the only great (so far at least) hire he has made and coaches a revenue sport. Give him whatever he wants and don't worry about basketball for the next 20 years or until he leaves for the NBA.

FTA is the ultimate unethical basketball player, but it is highly effective.

Good win. They finally decided they wanted to be there.

What does that have to do with the fact that plenty of stoners live long, happy lives and alcoholics are doomed to an early grave and all kinds of awful health problems?

Also, Willie Nelson and Tommy Chong are very much alive.

You mean seeing Shunnarah's shite eating grin all up and down the highway, with the implication being "if that semi in the next lane veers into you and puts you in a wheelchair, it'd make my fricking day if you remember this advertisement", doesn't give you a warm, fuzzy feeling of pride in our profession?

He did indeed. It isn't accredited, so you cannot sit for the bar exam anywhere besides Alabama. Most of those places are total scams with bar passage rates in like the 20s or 30s after charging you $125,000 for 3 years of classes.

Out of curiosity I had to check out the tax stamp info:

Failing to affix a tax stamp on controlled substances—often referred to as a "drug tax stamp violation"—is a legal requirement in several U.S. states where a tax is imposed on illegal drugs

Im not smart enough to understand this.... How would you qualify for a tax stamp for something illegal?

---

You wouldn't. It's just another thing for them to charge you with. It has a separate element from just possession too, so I doubt it would even merge for sentencing. I mean on the one hand I don't think this should be a crime in the first place because I don't see how it's any different than buying a keg and charging people $5 for a cup at the door, but at the same time I don't really sympathize with him because with his income he has absolutely no need to engage in black market commerce.
