This belongs in the Pussification of America thread. Why be expelled for having a little fun? Back in the day we all did crazy shit like this.

Not to argue with you, because I agree. But I'm pretty sure it has everything to do with potential lawsuits if/when someone gets hurt.

True story:
Before I got to college, in the fraternity house that I later joined, they used to go up on the roof and hang out and party. To a 50-year-old, it seems silly. But maybe it makes sense to a 20-year-old who has had more beers than he should. Anyway, one night, a guy who was not in the fraternity (he didn't even go to school there) - he was just a friend of one of them - he went to the deli down the street, used a fake ID to buy beer, went to the house, drank some beers, and decided to go on the roof. According to the investigation, the guys told him not to go up on the roof. I guess they didn't restrict his access well enough, because up he went. Some time later, he fell off. It's a 3-story house. He and his family sued the deli that sold him beer, the local fraternity chapter, the national fraternity headquarters, and probably some other parties. Maybe the school? I think the case finally settled after I got out of college.
Anyway, my point is that if the school doesn't expel him, maybe it looks like they're complicit in his actions, and if/when someone else gets hurt, the door is wide open for a lawsuit.

So that's my guess - take some kind of stance against this behavior or a lawsuit is going to hit you in the belly and steal your lunch money.

Similar to the targeting rule in college: penalize the hits to head and neck area, or it will look like you condone these hits. Penalize them now and you've got some ammo against any future lawsuits.

2027 OH DB Monsanna Torbert (Indiana Decommit)

pnuts34
I'd be pleasantly surprised if he's a Buckeye. scUM is offering more money and almost immediate PT. DB recruiting is starting to be less towards HS recruits and more of a balance with Portal entries(i.e. Igbinosun, Downs, Styles, Calhoun, Little, Moore and Kelly). I can see Walt flipping someone, and the class having 3 CBs, and then getting another 2+ in the Portal

It’s funny seeing Georgia fans start breaking out the cope play books now that their peanut farm money doesn’t fill bags big enough to recruit top 3-5 classes anymore

But but but....
The narrative was always that the SEC recruited better because no one wanted to go live in the shitty cold in the north.
Are you saying that there's something else in play? Something that the SEC was accused of doing for thousands of years, and has now become legal?
I'm not the dumbest person in the world. But I sure hope the dumbest person in the world doesn't die, or I might be nominated to take his place.
But I think I can figure out what's going on here.

2027 OH WR Jamier Brown is a Buckeye!!!

Jamier Brown explains Ohio State's role in his HS transfer

Ohio State had a direct impact on Jamier Brown switching to Big Walnut High School in January.

Jamier Brown explains Ohio State's role in his HS transfer​

Jamier Brown's purpose at Big Walnut is to be closer to the Ohio State University. Well, and a lot more than that.

The Ohio State Buckeyes were the sole reason Class of 2027 5-star receiver Jamier Brown left Huber Heights Wayne High School to join Big Walnut in Sunbury this past January. That's what Brown admitted to Ashland Source's Curt Conrad.

Per Brown, when asked about his decision to leave the Dayton metro for the Columbus metro, "I wanted a change of scenery and to be closer to Ohio State. ... When God closes one door, He always opens another, and that's what He did for me."

Brown explained after committing in November 2024 that the Ohio State University was his dream school. That message has been consistent through the reaffirmation of his commitment in May. Clearly, this is a spiritual decision for Brown. When you grow up in Ohio, you tend to wear Scarlet and Gray your whole life and feel it destiny to run out onto Safelite Field at Ohio Stadium.

Brown's decision to transfer to Big Walnut meant moving from the Greater Western Ohio Conference to the Ohio Capital Conference. It may be a step down in competition, on paper, at least, but given he's already committed, it may be a smart play for Brown. The media access in the local market will be good for his brand.

Plus, if we're being real, if there's one person who deserves the chance to transfer as he pleases, it's one of the most influential figures in Ohio in making NIL legal for high schoolers via an emergency referendum from the OHSAA.

Jamier Brown was a major voice for Ohio high school players getting NIL

What Brown accomplished in getting high school kids paid is something that will last for generations. Before ever stepping foot on campus and taking a snap, Brown is already a legend in the state of Ohio. Getting high school kids paid is a social justice issue that narrows the inequality gap. Brown helped explain how it gives kids financial literacy.

Imagine thinking that moving to a region in Ohio that would require you to play Bishop Watterson, Massilon (either Perry or Washington), Lake, Mount Vernon and Westerville South as a 'step down in competition'....plus playing in the OCC already....

Had one Inca Kola. Or at least tried. Way too sweet for me.

Side story - I poured it down the bathroom sink in my hotel room. It clogged the sink. All I can figure is the acid dislodged some buildup in the pipe. Fortunately they did not toss me from the hotel:-)

Also, had lomo saltado a couple of times. Legit delicious!

It made a helluva mixer in 1999, it's like trying a Moxie if you're in Maine. You just have to.

Andean plumbing is shit. Don't flush tp, usually no hot water, if there is it's about the PSI of a decent piss.

And Dub, that would have cracked me up more if I didn't basically live through the same thing.

Impending Assistant Coach Vacancies

I’m not sure of his chops, but in theory it’s a great hire.

An NFL scout monitoring the transfer portal? Good deal.
Click to expand...
I just created a thread for him and then saw this discussion.

I agree, this is a baller move. I presume that having anyone with an NFL background paying attention, full time nonetheless, to everyone else’s players who are ripe to be picked is better than nothing. Putting that on Pantoni would be too much.

NBA free agency 2026 live updates: Trade rumors, latest news with Kawhi Leonard, LeBron James on the move

LeBron is leaving the Lakers, Kawhi is joining the Raptors and more big names (like Jaylen Brown, Jalen Duren, Anthony Davis) could be on the move

Cavs exploring trade options to clear space to bring LeBron James home​

The Cavaliers are one of the two frontrunners for LeBron James in free agency along with the Warriors, and the biggest hurdle for Cleveland in bringing James home again is the cap sheet puzzle they're faced with. The Cavs do not have access to the non-taxpayer mid-level exception right now like the Warriors, which means that to outright sign James as is, they'd need him to take a minimum. That's a tough sell, and a sign-and-trade would only complicate matters by hard-capping them at the first apron.

Jake Fischer of The Stein Line reports that, to create more financial flexibility, the Cavs are exploring trade options for Dennis Schröder ($14.8 million) and Max Strus ($16.6 million) to see if they can shed enough money to add James and re-sign James Harden as planned. For his part, Harden is reportedly holding off on signing his new deal in Cleveland to give the Cavs the most possible flexibility to bring LeBron back, per The Athletic's Joe Vardon.

Dropping Schroeder is whatever, but dropping Strus for a 1-year LeBron rental? Terrible idea.
