The NFL isn't going to penalize anyone. They are a corporation like any other, and that sort of thing isn't good for the company.

Michigan getting off with a slap on the wrist has to be a worst-case scenario for a guy like Ono. He's got to be thinking about how much better off he'd be if he had just stayed at U of M.

I agree the indentured servitude model was a travesty, and something needed to change. But that didn't cross my mind as I considered why the NCAA reduced the damage caused by Michigan's malfeasance to a dollar amount. I suppose the common factor is that both behaviors (unfairly keeping all...

What this has really driven home for me is that college football is a big business now, and exchanging money is how businesses settle disputes. For example, PG&E pleaded guilty to 84 counts of involuntary manslaughter for deaths caused by the 2018 Camp Fire, and was fined four million dollars...

Nah. They did exactly what the money men wanted. I don’t think they’re going anywhere.

“However, the panel determined that a postseason ban would reduce the networks’ ratings, so that was off the tableunfairly penalize student-athletes for the actions of coaches and staff who are no longer associated with the Michigan football program.” Money talks. Everything else walks.

One thing we do know is Tony Petitti is on record as not wanting Michigan to face further sanctions even though they screwed over other teams in the B1G. Hopefully that isn’t an indication of how the powers that be at the NCAA are thinking, but it...

No Michigan girls were flown to the island, I’m sure of that.

“Poor soul, you were just too high strung.”

A couple of guys I like who I haven't seen listed are Sam Rockwell, Alan Rickman, and Gary Oldman.

I was thinking the governor should probably remove a member or two from the board of regents as part of this housecleaning. But when I looked up whether she could, I discovered regents are elected at large in biennial statewide elections. That seems like an odd way to select university...

I find that sticking a gun in the teller's face and asking for money circumvents the tedious time constraints of having to deposit money in the bank before taking it out.
