Big Ten and other Conference Expansion

[CincyInterloper]

You guys really think they are doing this to save the B1G or because they are the only ones smart enough to see something no one else does? Tsun is all of a sudden the grown up in the room of institutions?

They are posturing. They are trying to make a better cut for themselves. Look at the language they are using, it's rhetoric and it's aimed at deal terms not the question of doing it or not.

Barclays has been the "multinational financial institution" of rouge nation states, criminal organizations and narco's since forever.

If you paid them to consult, hopefully it was for a solution to money laundering problems.

Those guys only hire the best. I think we’re in good hands with Barclays.

I mean its not the 1800s. You could substitute pretty much any multinational bank and their hands are just as dirty. In a just society they'd all be against the fuckin wall. Its not like BoA, Deutsche Bank, Wells Fargo, Citi, HSBC, Wachovia etc etc etc all haven't been brought to jus...lmao I can't even fake it....been fined a small fraction of their profits for laundering money for Narcos. Thats JUST Narco collaborators and just some and just the last decade or so

I agree but even though they all do it to a degree...Barclays is like the south florida banker in Scarface.

It’s probably cheaper to pay the fines than it would be to bribe officials to look the other way. It’s almost like the banks wrote the laws that regulate them.

Yeah. The one Tony Montana should have stayed with.

Absolutely. You just pay the fines. No one goes to jail or anything.

It's a cost of doing bidness

 

[BUCKYLE]

Yep. When the punishment for a crime is a fine its only illegal for poors

Somewhere in graduate studies, we had a round table about product failure. Turns out the anticipated lawsuits were less than the cost to eradicate the problem with the product, so decision was to let it be. Had trouble with that, and still do. Argued the morality of it all, but got shot down with the talk of the bottom line, price per share drop, etc etc. Sooo, switched to K-12 administration, where regionally (Cali), had a 33% drop out rate. When asked Cabinet what would you do if you had a mfging co, and one out of every three products on the assembly line was defective, all said they'd close the factory. But, when brought it home, with that analogy to CA k-12, everyone hung their heads. Guess I wasn't PC enough.

It's tough being a non PC person in education. I fight it every day. Good for you, Cali
