Read interesting story on Cignatti philosophy in portal
Take “experienced” starters from Group of 5 or lower leagues vs 4 /5 star guys who not starting at Power 4 teams that were high stars coming out of high school
1) he could have just gotten lucky and hit on a lot of guys
2) That strategy doesn't work anymore as no one worth their salt is staying at G5 schools as a starter for multiple years.

I'll say this, you should invest in your best quality of life. You are SO far ahead of where you need to be especially if you want to continue working and not looking to retire at 45 or something crazy aggressive.
If what yall want is to move out of the city into a bigger house and a yard, then do it. If you want to stay more central then id consider staying a few extra years saving up and seeing if you get that significant salary bump. Here is the other thing, nothing precludes you from moving, not like it, and moving somewhere else. Will you waste a little money? Sure, but the point is to use your money to give yourself the best life. You could damn near pay for the 800k house in cash if you wanted and still be a good place retirement wise and just continue to save more. Its highly likely that over the next 10 years a good house in a good neighborhood in Houston will appreciate not all that less than the S&P 500.

re: All of Matt Campbell’s and Cingetti’s players followed them, why didn’t Lane’s?

Even though this is a troll of a question
Not guaranteed a waiver, how can LSU sign him and let other portal QBs go sign elsewhere with the risk they are left empty handed, they cant.
We are bringing Berry back who had a great freshman season. Lacey likely doesnt' want to split carries and we certainly don't and shouldn't pay $2M for part of a RB committee. RB is a commodity.
Pete was the DC so why would any defensive players leave.
Just a shite troll attempt or you are a moron.

Seeing a lot of what feels like revisionist history in this thread similar to Pelini 2.0. I remember during round one at LSU most people very vocal about wanting Cregg gone because of his zone blocking philosophy.
Lanes offense are always good and he’s going to have his input on scheme so I really care about developing technique. I’m not going to question any Lane offensive hire off the bat.

I can get on board with the thinking but the follow back within 4 hours and using PFF as any decent measure of anything shows this guy is a clown.
He referenced PFF using snap counts, not grading. So basically, he wants players with tape and experience. Thats valid and something not even PFF can frick up too bad.
In this day and age, i think its a great concept. You want people who WANT to be their as they can't compete to buy players. I actually use this concept when hiring. I'm not going to beg you to work for me. I want people who want to be here after i told them everything they need to know.

The first 4 rounds weren't even a real boxing match. About what I’d expect once he stopped running and trying take downs.
This was an embarrassment for boxing. A circus.

From what I understand an individual must be an "accredited" investor to be in at the beginning of an IPO. To be accredited you must have a worth of more than a million dollars excluding your home equity.
That about sum it up?
Let me clear this up, unless you are a UHNW individual, you have 0.000000000000000000000000000000% chance of participating in an IPO of this caliber. Even then it will be tough to get allocation.

I feel like I will be losing money if I rollover the money in the account to new employers plan. Am I thinking of it wrong, as I put money into these different funds when they were less expensive and now if I bought back in at a similar fund i would have less shares. It seems to me like I would be losing the future growth, any help understanding this any deeper would be appreciated
you won't, assume it happens instantaneously, you will sell 100 shares of x and buy 100 shares of y.
But like the other person said, you should roll over to an IRA on a platform like fidelity and then thats where you roll over any 401ks when you leave a job

it would look very different from Utah-style PE deals,

Structure: • Ivy League forms a for-profit subsidiary (or licenses rights to one) • PE acquires a minority stake (10–25%) • Term: 15–25 years • Returns via revenue share, not control
Your ChatGPT slop proposed the LITERAL same structure as the Utah deal.
