That said, I would be against it no matter what. I like the option now to choose a bigger airplane and more pay, or a smaller airplane with less pay but a better schedule. I believe that would go away with LGP.
It would take awhile to transition, and there is zero reason for anyone to take a paycut. Just curious, why do you like having to choose between QOL or pay? That makes no sense to me. I'd like to know the pay is there, and all I have to worry about is QOL, but I guess to many QOL is a negotiable item... don't get it.

Which is precisely the reason they aren't shutting down the visa process in West Africa or shutting down flights from infected areas, in effect "closing the borders." That would derail the super bullet Amnesty Train that's barreling down the tracks. If you close the borders to West Africa and are afraid that they'll go the illegal route, it's not a great leap of logic to demand they close the southern border. And that just can't happen...

For those that have the USAtoday app or actually have a paper copy read the Jameis State article in the sports section. The author nails exactly what college football has become.

Easy way to fix it. Each scholarship a school has is for 5 years. If a athlete flunks out, leaves early, goes to prison or violates assorted NCAA rules they don't get to use that scholarship again until the 5 years has passed. If on the other hand a athlete graduates in 3 or 4 years they can continue him on scholarship for 5 years to work on a masters and they get that scholarship back right then to reissue. For every 5% above 50% a school achieves in athlete graduations they get additional scholarships.

The other option is just give up on the farce that is college football today and let each school hire a professional team. The schools would save a bunch of money not having to create a bunch of fake independent study classes.

I read that, and it is spot on. FSU should be ashamed. Sorry. Of the FL schools that are in Div 1 or FBS... they are the only one that I could pull for. Not any more. I hope Notre Dame whips dey ***.

The games should be handicapped by graduation rate. ND graduates a high percentage of student Atheletes. Has FS graduated anyone playing football in the last 5 years? Give ND 14 points to start the game.
