This is when you realize guys like Izzo, Pops, Van Gundy, Coach K, Phil Jackson....even though they are all educated all they have done their whole lives is coach a game and live in a world within a kids game played by adults.
I believe teal is the color that represents support for victims of sexual assault. The person who heads the Izzone had everyone wear them in support of the victims.
Yes, MSU students did a fundraiser to support the women and part of that was buying a lot of teal shirts.
And became the highest paid public employees in their State. They should be ashamed of their greed.
When you hear Izzo and Dantonio speak on topics outside of their sport they sound stupid. Most coaches are probably the same.
I hate to break it to you, but I'm afraid that you're going to be disappointed. Everything you said is valid, however.
That's not even all that important to me. I don't care what a math teacher's opinion on government is or what a government teacher's option on math is. We all have certains areas of expertise. I mean look at Ben Carson. The guy is a brilliant doctor and surgeon- I could never approach what he has done there, but he really didn't have a clue about history or the government.
He wouldn’t make all that money if fans and alumni didn’t spend all that money watching the product he oversees
Yet somehow the athletes those fans and alumni pay to see play don't to receive anywhere near the same financial reward. Are people really paying to see Tom Izzo?
Guy in charge makes money. Welcome to almost every business in America. Go root for eastern Michigan then come back and tell us if people root for the program Izzo oversees.
Top college coaches are hugely underpaid imo. I’m talking top top, K, Saban, Meyer and I’d have Izzy right at below those guys on that short list of 10 he’s a great coach which drives a lot of this. But he’s starting to get to be seriously detrimental to the brand
This is why the Federal government has to regulate them. They'd act like a bunch of teenagers if they weren't. And don't get me started on how the players would act.
Heaven forbid. The feds should stay the hell out unless something criminal occurs. Then they should prosecute the #### out of them.
These crimes went on for decades at MSU. If the school handled the reports of sexual assault according to regulations, then years of additional victims would have been avoided. This is why the school needs punished even though they weren't the criminal.
There is a good chance the actions by the school officials were criminal. Passing off a reported crime to a coach rather than the mandatory policy isn’t an oversight, it’s corruption.
Just sending her off to college on her own scares the crap out of me. Young, drunk men are hard to trust. Everyone’s goal is to get laid in college.

stay out of Michigan. I did not know that. I generally thought it to be 18, with many states, predominantly below the Mason Dixon line allowing age of consent for marriage exceptions to go lower. The latter probably reflects some regional bias, which is to say some ignorance.
They could be subject to the rules that apply to every other form of commerce in this country like, say, anti-trust statutes.
By this logic, why shouldn't the Harvey Weinstein scandal result in the government regulating hollywood? Or Steve Wynn / gambling? Or O'Reilly / Fox News?Politician Spock said:
Notice, and an opportunity to be heard. It does not require an opportunity to be heard to my satisfaction so no power of subpoena or right to confront or cross, just an opportunity to be heard. Or so I think. Mayhaps I have it wrong.
I disagree. I have found the discussion interesting. Me, I recognize that administrative procedures are truncated, and potentially subject to more uncertainty than would be tolerated in th ecivil courts. That's why the civil courts will take up review of such maters once the administrative remedies have been exhausted.
Also criminal laws don’t work because there are still criminals.Christo said:
Because as far as I know none of them receive millions of dollars of federal financial aid. MSU is already regulated by the Dept. of Ed. it's a matter of degrees.
You just didn't grasp that I wasn't arguing that regulations shouldn't apply in this situation because they didn't work.
Sadly, this is probably going on in most college campuses on some level.Gawain said:
I know you’re pretty sure of that. Which is one reason I asked in another thread if you’re day drinking.
I'm trying to envision what this situation would look like if we did things your way. All I can see is MSU times 100.
If they received federal funding, like those subject to Title IX, then they would be regulated by Title IX. Title IX is limited to those that received federal funding. If you are suggesting that maybe it should be extended to everyone, maybe that's a debate we should be having.
I'm not the fool who suggested criminal laws don’t work because there are still criminals.
