Re: NCAA FB 2023
Wow. I just saw on The Athletic that the NCAA and DoJ have settled a case that now completely abolishes the transfer rules in college sports. No restrictions (I mean, other than eligibility to gain admission to said school). There are so many lawsuits involving the NCAA right now that I hadn't reall...

Re: To the extent it comes up: Trump crap post-WH years
The problem with your logic (Steve) is that a prosecutor has to actually have something to prosecute. Trump was VERY guilty of these charges. It's not like they were made up. You have a lot more confidence in the Alabama/Mississippi/Florida criminal justice systems than I do. A republican can claim...

He's not going to prison over this. That was never really on the table, if you have read/listened to credible legal experts.

It is fucking WILD!!!! that a person with a felony conviction can be president, but in many states you can't vote with a felony conviction.
