Yeah, Chat GPT has it's holes...I use the $20 a month option, and yesterdaty it thought Brian Kelly was still our head coach...
The main hole is that people use ChatGPT and mistake it for a web browser. ChatGPT =/= the internet.

Schools are literally having or near having actual entire positions that are not filled prior to next season starting.
Can we retire this sentiment?
Fall practice starts in around 7 months. There are hundreds of players still in the portal, and there are still a few days left for players to enter the portal. Schools can offer scholarships to these "free agents" for literally months in front of us.
Do I think there are issues with this system? Of course. But let's not make this more dramatic than it really is.

At least they made it to the semis- where did LSU end up?
With the exact same number of conference titles and national championships for the 2025 season, plus the exact same number of new head coaches.

But only 9 officially signed to other schools that's leaving. Is there a chance that LSU fills it's roster, with some LSU players still in the portal, that eventually won't have a place to go? Seems like a gamble if some decide to remain in the portal to long without signing with another school.
It is a risk - once they enter the portal they are a free agent, they aren't guaranteed a spot back at the school so I'd have to think anyone that may want to come back to LSU better be negotiating such a return.
quote:
Are you saying the portal never closes? You can just withdraw from the university and walk on?
Players can enter the portal at certain points in time.
Players cannot just randomly withdraw from a university mid-semester and join a new one without endangering their eligibility (academic progress).
quote:
These kids all have agents. The portal is being used because the understanding (right or wrong) is that is must be used.
Again, I don't really disagree with the sentiment here, but having an understanding that something is the "right way" or "preferred" way doesn't mean there is a RULE governing that it must be used. References to having to sue for eligibility suggest that there is a rule that states that in order to change schools an athlete MUST use the transfer portal. I'm not saying there is one or isn't one - it just seems like that would be the key element here for those suggesting that someone would have to sue or appeal to regain eligibility after not using the transfer portal.
quote:
There's no meaning to the portal window, etc.
I disagree with that.
In order to remain eligible, student athletes need to be enrolled in school and maintaining sufficient academic progress. Regardless of what that means from a true education standpoint, this is why the portal is where it is in the calendar - to align somewhat with the break period that most universities have. This way, athletes can enter the portal, signify that they are exploring other opportunities, and seek scholarship offers so they can unenroll from their current university and enroll at their new one in time to be enrolled to maintain eligibility.
If Demond (or anyone else) just randomly decided in the middle of a semester to leave...they'd risk their eligibility by not maintaining sufficient progress and potentially failing out of school by dropping too late, etc.
The entrance into the portal is what makes it public that you are leaving..but I guess there's nothing that would prevent someone from privately unenrolling and then signing on somewhere else.
quote:
Im assuming without pressure, the NCAA would declare any player who attempted to transfer outside of the portal ineligible. That seems logical given that the portal exists and is in use by almost everyone.
I guess it's possible that the NCAA could say that the only way someone can make a decision to withdraw from a university and potentially enroll at another university is via the transfer portal...but is that what the rule is?
LINK
The NCAA doesn't seem to think that's a rule. There is a rule that says a player can't compete for multiple teams within the same season, but that's not really at issue here.
quote:
The player hypothetically would then sue the NCAA for eligibility.
Why?
As long as the player meets all eligibility requirements as laid out by the NCAA there should not need to be a lawsuit. Players join teams all the time without having entered the transfer portal to do it.

Legend Pot - BR - any early reviews?

This place opened a little while back and every night the parking lot is full.
Anyone tried it yet? Thinking of stopping in but haven’t had the opportunity.

Well, he was telling me yesterday his plan but I was drinking heavily so I forgot most of it.
How on earth would anyone here know what his plan is?

How do you predict who did it early on, but not know how and why?
That is not really figuring it out.
It's a prediction. You look at all the characters that could have had a motive and opportunity and make a prediction..."I think he/she did it."
Then you watch and get the details...
I didn't say you figure it out, I said you can predict it. Just like any mystery movie.

I’m watching the refs blow the play dead. I don’t know how they ruled it a recovery after that when the rams clearly quit playing.
Heck everyone quit and the guy just picked up the ball for the ref
At least in college, even if a play is blown dead and then a fumble is ruled via replay, they typically reward the ball to the team who made a clear recovery after the fumble. I'm not sure if/how this may apply here.

Being here illegally is de facto a drain on and harmful to society.
Being a human being to others takes very little yet it's so often elusive to people here in America. 99.99% of "us" did nothing to be here "legally" except be born here, and our parents did the same.
There are plenty of people that have migrated here through various channels who work hard, contribute to society, pay for goods and services, and work for sub-optimal wages. Is this, by itself, a reason to kick them out of the country?
I'd argue that we should be trying to find ways to differentiate between those who seek to harm others and those simply trying to earn a living and minding their own business.
And above all that, seek to treat people as human beings with dignity and worth. I always find it very telling how many people who are "Catholic" here in the Diocese of BR are so willing to ignore Catholic Social Teachings as it relates to the treatment of immigrants and the poor.

Yep. This sort of dramatic hyperbole is exactly how Jesus would react.

Being here "illegally" is not the same as being here illegally and being a drain on and harmful to society.

A title is a title. Everyone was playing by the same rules, dealing with the same issues, and had the same limitations. Alabama just did it better than everyone else that season.
That's true. And nobody is debating that Alabama won the title in 2020.
The question, though, is whether that title is more impressive than other titles of the playoff era, or whether the team that won it was demonstrably better than all other playoff teams that had come before it.
What exactly was it that Alabama did in 2020 that was remarkably better than what LSU did in 2019?
