Presumably law enforcement is involved because the victims wanted them involved. Is the argument that the DA should decline to pursue the case against the victims wishes even though it clearly meets the definition of assault, or that the victim is being a pussy and needs to rub some dirt on it and move on?

ultimately I wish college football didn’t exist so these things wouldn’t happen. then I wish that we had a rehabilitative rather than a punitative justice system. next my argument is that you can describe this as sad without making either of the cases you currently are.

Yes, it’s sad, it’s also entirely appropriate they law enforcement got involved. Those aren’t mutually exclusive and in fact correlate quite often.

Yeah I don’t disagree. I guess it doesn’t feel completely black and white for me because of the emotion inherent in competition but yeah there’s not an objective argument against LE being involved.

You expect to get tackled on the field and you agreed to get tackled. You did not agree to get pounded on in a stadium tunnel with a weapon. That's enough of a distinction for me.

An Alabama jury awarded Michael Stern $645,837 in damages, finding after a two-week trial that Stern’s former dean illegally punished him for speaking out. The jury did not agree with similar complaints against other university officials named as defendants.

I remember when I was looking at postgrad schools and deciding between the MBA and MPA, considering I was going to probably stay in government the rest of my life.

I didn't hear a single complementary thing about MPAs in comparison. So I went MBA.

The official account of NFL Tackle Phil Loadholt.

Let's talk Football.
I just feel very uneasy about involving law enforcement and the full force of the law in a situation like this. I realize this was not on the field, the game was over, and it was in the tunnel but there are very few situations where something that ostensibly takes place on the field/court/ice makes it way into the justice system and the times it has its typically been very very extreme.

My hope would be for the 2 teams, the players, and the schools could come to some sort of restorative justice situation rather than possibly saddling a young man with a felony that he will carry. Although that seemed like it was out the window almost immediately as Harbaugh noted that an apology wasn't enough and that he expected criminal charges. Again, completely fine for it to go this route but I felt like the circumstances, the "heated rivalry," etc. But it is what it is. I know not everyone agrees with me and thats fine as well.

Probably because it's @ Texas, that adds, what, 3 - 6 points? Also, it'll probably be raining.

Pitt only a 6.5 favorite against Miami is similar but it's @ Miami. I feel like Texas is a harder away game than Miami, but drat that rain, who knows?

It’s a pretty big line, but we’ve seen a broad range of outcomes from both of these teams. It’s certainly plausible that Baylor comes out flat and hung over from last week and gets blown out of the water, but on the other hand Texas seems capable of laying an egg at any time.

The general wisdom is home field is worth seven points in NCAA, 3 points in the NFL. So Vegas "thinks" Texas would be a 1.5-point favorite on a neutral field.

Any idea if they adjust those 7 points by team?

For example, @Cinci v Tulane versus @Iowa v Nebraska. Seems like Iowa is a tougher place to play than Cincinnati.

I don't think it's a hard and fast thing, more like a heuristic. Certain home fields definitely have a bigger advantage than others.

Pretty sure the NFL thing is pretty close to actual 3 points, though.

If they’re an 8.5 point favorite at home that means they’re 5-5.5 favorite on a neutral field. They’d be a 1.5 favorite in Waco.

Yeah when I guess what the line is going to be, I picture the teams playing in a featureless void in my mind’s eye and then tack on 3.5 points to the team that’s hosting.

Yeah generally you work who's house it's at into the lines although it's not as hard and fast as "its at Texas, they lay 3 more"

With that said Texas by slightly under a TD on a neutral field feels about right to me

actually at this point in the season my Texas heuristic is "could Bijan Robinson beat this team single-handedly" and while Baylor has a decent rush D, I can still see it happening

I feel like TCU had the blueprint, which is pretty obvious, but just stack the box.

A lot of the reason Texas is a bad second-half team is because so many schools have insisted on seeing it for themselves that Bijan can run for 200 yards and 3 TDs in the first half alone, and then they go full-out against the run in the second half. TCU was the only team this year to just start out with a goal-line defense and shut us the gently caress down from the start.

So Baylor's got a good run D, if they stack the box from the start, they can win.

Tennessee is still ranked number 1 in total offense and has a lot of talent (the WRs are some of the best in nation). Vandy is 95th in total offense, but I am sure we will make them look better than that. Who knows which D for Tennessee is going to show? The one from last week or the one from the UK game. Also, Milton's stats for the year during garbage time:

23 of 33 for 573 yards. 69.7 completion percentage
17.4 yards average
6 TDS and 0 INT
0 sacks
Rushed 7 times for 72 yards
10.3 yards per carry

Based on all that I can see why they are still a 14 point favorite. Still the question is can Milton play like that as a starter or is it still old Milton after almost 2 years of being a back-up to Hooker? The one good thing out of this whole thing is we don't have to wait until 2023 to find out now.

The felony charge will get chopped to misdemeanor and that kid might get a month of a suspended sentence. His career is over, the other guys who knows.

lol if we beat Baylor I’m gonna be rooting for Kansas so hard because Texas ending up in the B12 title game with 4 losses would be hilarious and I’d still probably give us a solid 40% chance of knocking off TCU.

Then for maximum hilarity we’d need to horribly lose a bowl game. What is the status of a coach/program who has just finished a conference championship season but still had a single digit win total and ended with a terrible loss?
