Love that nobody answered this question, and are still just railing about how this is a resort, "prissy", and talking about their fiscal responsibility.

At least from the link provided, I'm still struggling to see what's up with all the outrage. The link has 1) no mention of cost and 2) a description and renderings of a dorm that just. . .looks like a dorm.

Like I said, some old grads will find something to be upset about with everything.

After your 3334 posts, a few of us have figured out your game. What's interesting is that when legitimate questions are posed about various topics or projects and programs, the questioner is automatically painted as being against said projects. The quest for more information or the facts has suddenly been the pathway to gaslighting. Rather sad (and BLSS I'm speaking in very general terms and not talking about any specific person).

The kids today are coddled, just as we were coddled compared to our parents and grandparents.

My parents did not hover over me. They never pushed me to do anything. Whatever I did was because I wanted to do it. I had jobs cutting grass, paper routes and cleaning toilets at my high school. I never asked for or received a penny from them. Needless to say it helped me in the game of life.

Don't forget the folks in the statehouse...plus our old friend George Voinovich, who reduced state subsidies for higher education. Used to be 50% of cost of tuition. Now 4%, placing Ohio 48th in state support.

Bet you can't quote somebody saying that.

I know what he was talking about. Who can you quote saying players should be employees?

The only conversation where it really came up was between me, you, and BTC -- and I wasn't actually advocating for employment, just pointing out that if you want to solve for player movement and stop people from transferring because they're misinformed of their NIL value, one potential solution is creating a more transparent, labor market.

But the actual conversation that BTC and I have had about that -- at length -- is that I suspected we'd end up with some hybrid where the players aren't employees but get a revenue share, or if they are employees, it'll be as a special class created for college athletics where all of the concerns about employment that BTC insists will bankrupt college sports will be carved out.

Which is just to say that BTC is just creating a strawman and arguing with nobody, as usual. And while he's doing so, the NCAA/P5 proposal is actually shaping up to be quite similar to what\ I outlined it'd be.

2022 figures but pretty interesting map of funding dollars per pupil by state.
