    Odds of societal collapse in US...

    You have some shockingly poor reading comprehension skills for a retired high school English teacher and Ph.D. It's questionable that you think your experience as a local high school educator is informative of the situation in higher education, and rather disturbing that you've never heard of...

    Basketball Portal Question?

    Crazy how well-oiled the programs that had experience paying players before it was legal are!

    Weird that you only have a handle on the red ones. Well, good luck with all that knowledge.

    I guess you’d also know how that’s causing tuition to rise in blue states as well.

    You think the main cause of tuition at universities rising... Is republicans pulling funding?

    You just won millions in the lottery

    1. Lawyer up. 2. Get the hell away from civilization. 3. Keep to myself, get most of my social interaction from semi-anonymous online message boards. So, not a ton would change, except I'd own a lot more land a lot further from a population center.

    Odds of societal collapse in US...

    Here's the best read I can give you on the subject (Well, at least most of what I said). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Closing_of_the_American_Mind Couple the content of that book with unlimited student loans from the federal government, and you get sky-rocketing tuition with a lower...

    Odds of societal collapse in US...

    It’s going to be a while. We’re never going to achieve AGI with LLMs, and we are already extremely close to the ceiling of what we can achieve with current electrical and training data volume constraints. This current generation of AI was more marketing smoke than actual fire. There’s some value...

    Odds of societal collapse in US...

    Meh. Academic freedom has been dead for decades. Tenure is flimsy as hell, hiring favors the politically connected, and perverse incentives discourage meaningful research in many fields. Universities as a whole need a major shake up that favors the wellbeing of their paying customers (the...

    Go to a McDonald’s in a HCOL area. You order your own food and pay at a kiosk, there’s nobody at the front counter, some even have robots flipping patties in the back. Just a couple folks to man the drive thru window and put out any fires.

    Now That The Novelty Has Died Down Some...

    “Estimated” is doing the heavy lifting there. That account probably puts some multi-million dollar price tag on Stirtz alone. Who knows, maybe 3 or 4 million. Iowa isn’t paying him that.

    Brendan Hausen

    That's one of the selling points of a slower pace of play. Ben made pretty clear that he'd like to play faster than he did last year, but not at a blazing pace. I would guess that his ideal is more middle of the pack in the B1G, while playing in a way that finds a balance between rest, injury...

    Iowa Boys Basketball State Tourney Moving

    You know, this is a "goofy" ass quote: >“We couldn’t be more excited about what this opportunity will offer our student-athletes, schools, and supporters as they experience an elite basketball environment at Hilton and an awesome new tournament community in CyTown and Ames,” IHSAA executive...

    Anybody Have FUBO TV?

    Second all of this. YouTubeTV is the better product. Ultimately, I stomached the price of Fubo for a couple months at the start of the MLB season last year to watch blacked out games. I now live in a place where six teams aren't blacked out (seriously, what the hell is that model by the MLB?)...

    Tariffs

    A large amount of my knowledge in this area is infantile. I'm going to preface this with a couple general principles. 1. I believe in free trade. 2. What we currently have... Isn't really free trade. And I mean, before the tariff stupidity. When we live in a world where China, a "Communist...

    Data…

    Hell, things went to a not great place for Wisconsin pretty darn quickly. For a while, I envied Wisconsin. In hindsight, I'll take the stability we've had.

    Bennett Stirtz...

    I think Stirtz is pretty much a consensus second round pick. I'm sure he's hoping to improve to a first round pick.

    $.04 per click you say? I have got to get this side hustle.
