Its practically the overt point of the whole thing  Everyone makes a deal with the frat bro devil, who goes and pats himself on the back for how awesome he is, while the rest of us that put money into cans or whatever are vaguely satisfied and somewhat confused at how they raise so much money. Canning season is tough on your PSU alums because you can't stare blindly ahead at the intersection like everyone else when your car has three different places that says PENN STATE and also so does your shirt.

Baylor started Spring practice today. Not a ton of news yet, although Seth Russell appears to reasonably secure as Bryce Petty's replacement at QB. Briles hasn't anointed him just yet, but everyone's talking like it's Seth's job to lose, and considering how highly Briles prizes experience I don't see Chris Johnson or Jarrett Stidham taking over unless one of them absolutely explodes.

Auburn responded to the incident with the football players, service dog, and veteran with PTSD:Auburn posted:On Tuesday, February 17th Auburn Athletics was made aware of an incident in the lobby area of Haley Center involving two student-athletes and an interaction with a fellow student and her service dog. I'm not really sure where to fall on this. Pretty much everyone knows that if you see a yellow jacket on a dog, its a service dog. It even says service dog on the jacket. However, yelling at someone for saying hey don't mess with my dog is dumb. If it was an actual misunderstanding (which seems a little of a stretch), maybe have them do some community outreach instead of suspension? Have them sit in with vets in a support group to gain some understanding of the poo poo they are going through? I don't know.

I didn't want to say it at the time but from the sound of it I just didn't think they knew it was a service dog and were just trying to get the dog's attention to play with it for a second. I'm also curious if the woman in question was clearly disabled because if not then the guys could have been put off from someone yelling at them simply for trying to get their dog's attention and it could have escalated from there. They could have just seen it as a woman walking her dog and then snapping at them for trying to be friendly with it. It doesn't make what they did in yelling at her right but I don't think it was them trying to be an rear end in a top hat to someone specifically because they were a disabled vet, which is kinda how this situation was initially posited. e: also be aware that the ADA doesn't require service dogs to wear a vest or any other equipment that denotes them as such.

She had PTSD, so it isn't like she had a big ole vest that said hey I'm disabled. And true, maybe they just wanted to play with a dog, because lets be honest who doesn't? Thats why I said that maybe having them sit with some people with service dogs or PTSD to just inform them, not as a punishment. No lost game time, just some good community outreach.

The important part of the story was never about the dog, from what I saw. They could've not known it was a service dog, they could've, they could've just been trying to play with it or maybe they weren't... I don't really care either way. People like playing with dogs. The part where this story gets bad is where they supposedly puffed all up and tried to bully the lady by acting tough. Whether or not she's a disabled vet doesn't matter either, no big football player guy should be acting that way towards anyone. Everything else just makes it worse and worse from an already bad situation. Again, that's if they really did puff up and raised their voices at her. I can't imagine it'd be too hard to find witnesses if the school really wanted to (they don't). Maybe I'm running on this completely outdated idea that football coaches should also be trying to make their players better people, too.

I don't care if a dog is a service dog or just a dog. It's polite to not pet a dog without asking. I have four dogs and I'd prefer no one touch or pet them without asking. I don't like strangers pawing at my dogs, but I also want to make sure they don't get themselves bit and sue me or demand I euthanize my dog because some rear end in a top hat wanted to pet whatever animals crosses their line of sight. Nobody is entitled to pet a dog.

Yea, it seemed like they got yelled at because she ended up being a disabled vet and not just because they had no right to act that way, and that's ridiculous to just tack poo poo on as if it was the reason behind their actions. They're assholes for doing this period and any adjective one might use to describe her isn't cause to demonize them further.

This has little to do with this incident, but I fly a lot and see shitloads of "service dogs" that are just pets with a vest somebody bought online. No training, no nothing. I still default to giving people the benefit of the doubt but I could totally see someone who deals with that all the time could develop a short temper when dealing with it. The service dog laws are in desperate need of an upgrade to differentiate between "guy with PTSD/Seizures/whatever" and "Guy who wants to take their pet dog everywhere"

There's also no governing body for certifying service dogs and as the law stands nobody is required to present evidence that their dog is what they say. Yes, the people who take advantage of the ADA to drag their dog anywhere they want are assholes but there's little to be done(and honestly how big of a problem is this anyway?).

The NCAA has just ruled a fan-favorite Baylor walk-on RB, Silas Nacita, ineligible to play football because the kid had a 'close family friend' helping him handle living expenses and keeping him off the street. Keep in mind that this kid was a walk-on with a minimum of three guys ahead of him on the depth chart. https://twitter.com/Salsa_Nacho/status/570621510685036545/photo/1 Baylor fans are pretty upset. Fake Bo Pelini is tweeting at the kid that he hopes the kid will remember this the next time he tries to eat some food.

You're only going to scam service dog rules if you have one of a handful of breeds. You can probably still scam if you put a service vest on your shi-tzu, but you'll get a lot of side eye.

It will probably take six committee meetings and 18 forms filled out in triplicate to grant him an exception but he ought to get one. If he ends up permanently ineligible something is seriously wrong.

Also, could someone explain to me the difference between Nacita's situation and, say, some Waco kid walking on at Baylor while living with their parents? I don't see a meaningful practical difference there. Also, I like the Baylor blog's take on this: Clearly what Nacita should have done is sell enough autographs to pay rent, then he'd only lose half a game after a few months of painstaking deliberations.

I think it's more that no one person has the authority to grant the exception. There is a process they have to follow. What he did is technically a benefit and violates the by-laws, so they have to tell the team he is ineligible until they sort it out. There is a process for restoring his eligibility, but it takes some time. Like I said before, I hope this is just a matter of the wheels turning in a bureaucracy.
