People to Punch, Pet Peeves, and General Vexations (mega-merge)

We lived in downtown Denver when Colorado, along with Washington, became the first state to legalize recreational marijuana. Being first attracted tons of young marijuana "lifestyle" people to the state. Most of our commute was walking the mile or so length of the 16th street pedestrian mall that goes through downtown Denver and we'd get asked for weed money by these 18-25 year old derelicts 3-4 times per commute. That was even more annoying than the smell, which was omnipresent but bothers me less than it bothers many other people, including my wife. It's somewhat better now, probably because many other states have legalized and because young people are leaving Denver because it has become unaffordable.

Should semipro/college players be paid, or allowed to sell their stuff? (NIL and Revenue Sharing)

This sounds familiar

As the college sports structure evolves, it might even be beneficial for some schools if they could simply let investors fund the roster, pay the coaches and take on the profit/loss risk. In exchange, the school would get paid for use of facilities and trademarks to fund their other sports.

and yes, already happening to a degree

In a sense, it's already in motion. Utah finalized a nine-figure deal with Otro Capital earlier this year, forming a new company that will handle revenue-generating aspects of the athletic program. Michigan State just unveiled a new athletic department structure with $100 million in seed money, part of which is a for-profit subsidiary called Spartan Media Ventures where investors will get a return.

In early August, LSU is gathering donors at the governors' mansion for a "first look at an alternative revenue-generating opportunity for LSU athletics that is first of its kind nationally and could quite possibly change the future of college sports in America," according to the invitation. It's expected to include some type of structure where investors/donors could buy a "share" of a privatized athletic department.

This goes WAY beyond Coach Pete Bell giving Neon Boudeaux and Butch McCrae a Caddy…WAY WAY WAY beyond that!!!!!!! :panic:
If Neon and Butch were around in 2026, they'd both be getting similar deals :lol:

How many national championships has every team in the SEC won in the last 70 years outside of Bama, Georgia and LSU? And shall we broach the topic of who has had to cheat to earn them now that NIL and paying players legally coincides exactly with the SEC not only not winning, but not even making the national championship game for three straight seasons? Finebaum can STFU.

Here ya go....it's like 45 if you include oklahoma and Texas but 31 if you don't, going back 81 years to the end of World War 2....which ironically gives them 1 :lol:
