Thee Ohio State University News

Not specifically tOSU news; eventually this sort of thing will find itself that way.

Something I've been speaking about for the better part of 10 years. The inefficiency of the 4 year bachelor program. Hell, after leaving C'Bus, I saw how bloated a simple 2 year Assoc. path had become.

What took me 4 semesters (tOSU was on quarters around the same time) should have been 2. MAYBE 2.5, tops.

- I was not allowed to test out of any classes. As a result, I would sleep-walk through the bulk of my labs 1st year.
- My electives, especially 1st semester, were a complete waste of my time and money.

I'm in favor of a more refined, focused, and career-oriented educational process. I got into the non-clinical Healthcare field. I didn't need a Creative Writing or Public Speaking course.

Perhaps a 'Business/Operations Communcations' would have been more relevant.

Either way, I appreciate the conversation being had, in how we might better streamline higher education.

It's almost understandable as a 20 or 30 year old to believe the original moon landing was fake....if you ignore the fact that nobody benefits from faking a moon landing, so why would anybody go through all of that.....because you think of 1969 as 5 billion years ago, and you think they wouldn't have the technology to be able to actually do it. Which.....is obviously wrong, but I could see where a 27 year old moron would think that.

But now we're pre-debunking present and future moon missions? Why? You're living and seeing the proof that we do have WAY better tech and can actually accomplish this. Why doubt your own eyes? Because you had so much fun thinking you were poking holes in a thing that happened almost 60 years ago?

2026-27 Ohio State Men's Basketball

Interesting thoughts, but I don't see the NIL escalation abating, unless the government puts a 'cap' on NIL spending, per school, per sport whatever. And certainly a school is going to put their money where it can make the biggest impact. Less we forget, Xichigan has what, a reported $10 million riding on the QB1 position, and if their MBB number is remotely in the ballpark, there's another $10 million onto the hardwood. Given their alleged status in college football, might opine there's another $20 million amongst the other football recruits/transfers, so there's about $40 right there. Mighty tall timber in my estimation. Unless Larry Ellison is picking up part of the tab, that's alot of moola for those car workers to put up on a continuous basis. The only saving grace, is that there's only 12-13 players on the basketball team, so might be easier to fund. The merry-go-round or the great mandala continues to turn.
And easier to hit on the B1G player of the year. Championship, merch, advert, etc... Repeat the cycle.

Ha. I love it. He’s basing his belief on that deaf and blind people cannot learn anything once deaf and blind. If you go deaf and blind at 1, you’re forever 1, mentally.

I really don’t know any details about Helen Keller other than deaf and blind. But I’m guessing she learned some stuff after age 1.
The best part is she was a woman. So absolutely not able. If it was a man...
