Look Who's Transferring Now (The Portal)

I assume CBA is a collective bargaining agreement. I'm not smart enough to know what that has to do with restricting things.
But that's fine.
I still think that if someone wants to restrict which team a player is on, we'd have to make a true minor league system. Take the teams away from the schools. But of course, I'm sure none of us wants that.

yes CBA = Collective Bargaining Agreement It gives the worker a voice in what rights they give away in return for whatever benefits they bargain for. To have one, they must be an employee and a union member as I understand basic labor law.

People wanting to restrict movement of college football players as the market stands right now are advocating disregarding basic concepts of labor law.

Put the word "coal miner" in for college football player.
-A group of mine owners gets together and decides that paying so much for labor is bad for business
-They buy some politicians
-The politicians come up with a scheme, in the best interest of the miners themselves of course, to restrict movement/income.

That's collusion and that's been settled since the late 19th century. You can't do this shit to people.

It makes zero difference what the NFL/NBA/MLB/NHL or whoever else do. They have the employee/employer structure, unions and a CBA. College football does not. The players are just individual contributors, like coal miner, that get to choose which mine they work for and are free to change mines as often as they please if the money is better at another mine.

Can we blame the NCAA for their ludicrous punishment? Why in the history of punishing teams, did they not give a fuck about "punishing the current players" concerning Michigan? They didn't give a fuck before and they certainly didn't give a fuck after.
That's the real crime.

In today's game, punishing the team is no longer punishing the players. They can transfer out to a team that isn't being punished. No one is stuck playing for that team. So NCAA's claim that they didn't want to punish current players is boof.

As for the for-reals reason they didn't punish the cheaters, remember that the Big Ten just signed a contract with the TV networks for a bazillion dollars. The TV networks didn't want their product damaged. And *ichigan is part of their product. They stepped in and said that *ichigan needs to be able to maintain their standing. Wave their hand a little and tell the empire that these aren't the droids you're looking for.

The NCAA showed that they're gutless turds and aren't needed. And that's that.

I still think there were money forces breathing down the NCAAs neck because they didn't want to have to actually admit that multiple seasons of the sport were completely compromised. The slap on the wrist punishment basically allowed everything to be laughed off and never seriously discussed again.

U.S. Men's National Soccer (Official Thread)

Google AI: Mauricio Pochettino earns a base salary of roughly $6,040,600 per year as the head coach of the U.S. Men's National Team (USMNT). His lucrative compensation package is partially subsidized by philanthropic donations from billionaires, making him one of the highest-paid international soccer coaches globally.

Just sayin': If he does "bolt", it sure doesn't look like it would be due not enough money.

He can make double that amount if he gets the right job in the right league.
Just depends on what he wants to do.

How's the weather?

AuTX Buckeye
Not good here… Uvalde has had close to 30“ of rain in the last 72 hours…. The same area that got hit by floods last 4th that killed over 100 kids in summer camps got hit again, thankfully the Camps took it seriously and no issues report yet… further up another river might be breaking it floor stage record from 1979 … some of these rivers are seeing double peaks because of where and when the rain is falling…. we needed the rain but not like this….

Well, here in Cali, just another 106+ day. After a round of golf, going into the club house, and the AC there, makes the sweat freeze. Had an unseasonal 'rain storm' last week, got just enough raindrops that it attracted the swirling dust, and created dirty cars. Would take some of that sky-water y'all are experiencing, as crops are drooping, and the sweet corn is looking pretty ragged. Oh, yeah, the farmers (aka growers) here are pumping ground water to make up the shortfall, and of course, the state is taxing them on the amount of acre/feet being extracted from the ground. It's no wonder we've got over 700+ farms for sale in the area.

I remember when I was a kid, after we moved to Oregon from LA driving through the San Joaquin going back and forth on visits. It was like the garden of Eden, so many farms. I remember there was a stretch of I-5 that was cattle ranches for miles and miles, the smell was unbearable. The last time I drove through there about 15 years ago it looked like the Sahara desert.

Deciding When to Retire

calibuck
Bravo. You're entirely correct. One is merely a piece of meat in the machine. Lots of good ideas above, although hopefully full of things one would 'like to say', but not really say. As a hiring agent, always ask why left last position. Some answers are real doozies. But when one checks with previous employers, if they say 'would not be eligible for rehire' it cause one to pause. Not burning bridges is always the best course. Who knows, maybe your stock portfolio takes a tumble, and you need that income bridge before stocks turn north again. Anyway, have discussed/thought many of the same things opined above. Oh yeah, when doing my due diligence on a recruit, always check on the previous employer before the one where they are currently. Will get a more unbiased answer. Could be that the current employer blows smoke up your six in order to get you gone! Anyway, did day trading on JD Uniphase, and lost a quick $25,000, and decided not my jam. Have been retired for 10 Years now, and wouldn't have it any other way. Served on Grand Jury, and wasn't thrilled to have to get up and meet a specific meeting time. But can do for a tee time. Go figure.
