re: Fortune: America is becoming the ‘uncool’ country that people want to move away from

Yes, that’s the ideal scenario .. there’s actually a term for it- ‘geographic arbitrage’.. but it’s much easier said than done .
This seems like it would be a temporary opportunity for most jobs, especially if there are significant differences in time zones.

When George Clooney secured French citizenship last year and confirmed that his family’s main home is now a farm in Provence, it sent a strong message about the standing of the American Dream. Clooney has been unusually blunt about what the move represents: a bet that his children would have a “much better life” in a country where fame matters less, privacy laws are stronger, and childhood can be more ordinary than it would be in Los Angeles.
This is a terrible example. George Clooney and his kids’ issues are not applicable to most people.
An actual issue is when you have large numbers of highly educated and high earning young professionals choosing to take their families elsewhere. That isn’t happening yet on a meaningful scale, but acting as if it could never happen would be foolish.

re: Texas Tech Board of Regents member going to war vs SEC & Big10

That popularity isn't b/c of schools like Texas Tech, and the only time they did hit national relevance was....beating a school like Texas (in the final moments no less)
Why should national relevance be the determining factor? College football grew to be a behemoth as a regional game.
It’s obviously true that there are 15-20 schools that draw the most eyeballs and are the real powers in the sport, but it’s also true that most college football fans are affiliated with programs not on that exclusive list. A lot of college football viewership comes from fans of “have nots” watching “haves” because they are generally interested in college football due to their interest in their own school. If you kill off their own school, will they really still watch OSU, Georgia, Alabama, LSU, Michigan, etc? I think a lot of those fans tune out if there’s no connection, even if that connection was always tenuous.

That's basically why CFB has exploded in national popularity the past 25 years and blows all non-football sports out of the water support-wise
I think becoming that formally risks the devotion of the legacy alumni fan, similar to how NASCAR forgot its core fans 20 years ago. You eventually kill the soul of the thing.

Tech is just mad they are a have not. Taking it out on the SEC and B1G haves.
I’m a Georgia fan but have serious doubts that what’s best for the “haves” is what’s best for college sports as a whole. I think the haves would most likely come to regret killing off the have nots.
Becoming an unregulated second rate NFL is not in college football’s best interest, in my opinion.
re: NCAA committee considering 7-figure fines, head coach suspensions for transfer violations

I don’t think it matters what rules the NCAA comes up with. At this point, they seem to have zero ability to enforce them. Especially in football.
This may be true, but at some point you’d think some adults in the room at these schools would put together that the benefit of abiding by the rules they agreed to far outweigh any short term talent upgrade they may get from subverting rules they agreed to.
A clear, if temporary, solution is for the schools themselves to develop a backbone and tell their coaches no.

Disagree on golf. Driving distance is always an advantage no matter how short the course, unless we’re talking putt putt.

Read elsewhere that they were both going over 100 mph. Don’t know if true.
If that is true, consequences should be draconian in nature.

re: Who are the idiots who popularized tattoos over the past few decades?
Posted by Crowknowsbest on 2/12/26 at 5:41 am to cbree88
I think there’s a difference between intentionally visible vs hidden tattoos. I won’t comment on someone getting a small hidden tattoo that is actually intended for themselves.
Getting large visible tattoos seems to fall in line with a general cultural shift into a kind of aimless narcissism, possibly derived from social media and celebrity culture. The idea that a lot of people feel that they need to project curated content about themselves out to an audience at all times, even if the messaging vehicle causes personal or professional harm. There are a lot of subcultural factors at play that explain pockets of heavy tattooing, but the broader cross-demographic use over the last 10-15 years is clearly a symptom of some larger cultural change.

I propose a hard 24 year old cap on eligibility. The minute you turn 25, you are ineligible, even in the middle of a season.
Eligibility is also forfeited immediately upon written intent to enter a professional league.

These guys are getting paid now too. So my empathy for a 18-19 year old making 500 grand a year to play football is less than 0 when he is knocked around by someone more established than him
Not going to be very many 18 year olds getting paid if 25 year olds are an option.
All these “good” 25 year olds were once “not good” 18 years olds who are now attempting to pull the ladder up behind them.
IMO, the NFL would actually be forced to step in if college football eligibility limits are blown away. The NFL needs high potential 18 year olds to have a college entry point in order to maintain the league’s talent level.

There sure as shite is if the 19 year old has been in HS the last four years and the 25 year old has been in some combination of college, semi pro, and professional training.

In 5 years, we’ll be watching 30 year olds play college sports. Pumped for that.

It might be slower, but it’s hard to see even die hard alums indoctrinating their kids to the same extent as previous generations in the current environment. I grew up going to games with my parents, following the players, recruits, etc. Attendance is way more expensive now, and rosters fluctuate so much now I have a hard time seeing that as much for my kids.
Exactly zero of the major decisions made in the past 10-15 years have been made with the ticket-buying fan in mind, and that will eventually erode their core audience.

Isn’t it all kinda relative to what kind of funds are available to each team? If we’re not going to over pay then that’s going to go for kicker, rb, qb, etc
Sort of, but the marginal difference in an “over pay” situation is likely less.
If Oregon comes in and offers a 50% raise on a $400k offer ($200k increase) for a rb, I think UGA has a better chance to hang on to him than they would for a 50% raise on a $1m QB offer ($500k).
That depends on the kid and family in both cases, obviously.
Georgia really hasn’t had any problem signing or retaining “non-premium” positions. RB would qualify.

RB is way different from the other two from a $ perspective, so this has a better chance of sticking.
