This is my position as well. However, how do you actually enforce it in a nondescriminatory manner? DNA tests for every competitor? And what level of scrutiny does that get? I suppose some states is as simple as a birth certificate, but I imagine other states have really muddied the waters...

At least we will have football to tide us over in a few short months!

I think that's a bit low, but not egregiously so.

Same. Kirk takes the Michigan job in 2010, or whatever it was? .600 is probably fair. But with what he's done here, it shouldn't be a discussion.

Wild that this post was made the last time we actually had a decently balanced offense. At least, that’s how it feels in hindsight.

I watch this and the 2008 game at least once every offseason.

And while wearing his pajamas, no less!

Oh it's just a goofy comparison. The numbers looked to me like NFL draft picks. So I slapped them in a calculator. Basically, if the University of Iowa were in the NFL draft, and traded the picks corresponding to the departures for those corresponding to the incoming players, they would've...

I thought we were goners! I wonder what the going price is for this place.

Couldn't help myself

Someone put these numbers into an NFL trade value calculator

FWIW, my FIL is in central Iowa and also has no issues with Marquee.

Agree. Treat them like professional athletes. These are just minor league professional teams sponsored by schools. Split off professional football and basketball programs and make them 100% self-fund.

Oh, and re: actions against specific schools (and law firms, some of those big law EOs were, in a word, wild) I'm very interested to see how that all plays out in court. Columbia's non-support of Jewish students? Hell, near tacet support of their harassment? Probably a space that justifies some...

Oh no, no argument there. Trump very obviously favored loyalism, especially as compared to his first term. I think some of that shift was justified, but some of his picks were absolutely an overcorrection. I'd point to his complete dullard of a SecDef as the posterchild of this. Robert F...

1. Ignoring court rulings I think the gag orders were patently unconstitutional. Otherwise I’m only familiar with the Boasberg stuff, and I think Boasberg is generally way out of line. Anything I’m missing? 2. Pardoning felons after the Jan 6 insurrection Agree, blanket pardons were dumb. 3...

Definitely agree with the former. As for the latter, I think it's easy for both sides to say the other has become more radical. The loudest factions are at the fringes of both parties. I've tried to find some research on political movement from center, didn't turn up anything great. In many...

It was only a matter of time. ICE just showing up and throwing folks into the back of cars is a really troubling trend. 5-10 years or so back, I met this guy who was detained by ice for a number of weeks. Case of mistaken identity, coupled with language barrier. I'm not really sure how that...

I'd be interested in reading your dissertation. I assure you; I am capable of absorbing whatever it is you wrote.
