The Valedictorian of my HS senior class told another student that the night before a test that he would put that subject’s textbook under his pillow and complete his test preparation through osmosis.

I overheard him, later that day in another class I asked him if he really did that...he said hell no, but that guy had been bugging him for years about his secrets to good grades. The guy wouldn’t listen to “I study every day and stay prepared for each class.” It got so bad that the Valedictorian just started making stuff up to get the guy to leave him alone. 😁

Well, so much for that plan. I thought I was onto something. Thanks, for nothing.

Yay, another supposed grown up who doesn't have the stones to put his foot in the ground and be a leader. Much better to hide behind excuses like false circumspection and "consideration for potential legal issues." Where is Al Wilson when you need him to knock the $h!t out of some folks and get something done?

This is not good news. He's setting it up to say that the SEC was willing but can't do it alone. Gearing up for the shrug and I told you so for when he announces that the season is postponed.

Seems to me like the quote was that it would be hard to add teams, not that the SEC isn't going to play. SEC, ACC, Big 12 are going to roll.

i think that's what'll be the driving force with most anything that gets shut down or limited, sports or not.

if everyone was so confident, then decisiosn would already be made. there's been nothing but waffling for the past 6 weeks or so, and each step taken has been another step to soften the blow.

at this point, i don't know how anyone was realistically expecting football to happen, w/zero doubts......and when it gets to the point where p5'ish programs are cancelling seasons and p5 conferences are hinting at not playing, at that point, it's just a house of cards, and it all comes down.

anyway....it is what it is at this point, and i doubt seriously you could point at Sankey and just blame him for how this turns out....especially when/if other p5 programs and conferences start pulling the plug.....

The question was “could the SEC go it alone”, meaning, if other leagues cancelled would SEC still play. Answer: “I don’t think that’s the right direction”

If Sankey thought the Big10 backlash was rough, wait til the SEC crowd gets wind of a potential cancellation...

And high school football

The reason all of these groups can go ahead and play is because there is no question/illusion about their amateur status.

I firmly believe this has moved beyond just a COVID situation (player health is still the cover) and moved into a play by the NCAA to keep leverage on the players and prevent them from organizing further.

For example, if the players want to organize then the NCAA/presidents will just pull the plug on the season under the guise of player health to show the players who is still in charge.

No professional league has this problem and neither does high school football.

It's strange how people can have them and not have anything happen to them for a while or not at all. Or it can skip generations. I got it from both parents. Complications started at 40 with my mom, but my dad is 84 and healthy as a horse, but his mom had problems starting around 40 also. Glad your daughter was negative!

Thanks. My wife had never displayed symptoms. Her leg started puffing up when we were traveling to DFW after my enlistment in the AF ended. We drove up to Wright Patterson in Dayton, Ohio to visit my sister and she complained about pain in her leg. By the time we left, she could barely lift it. She visited her doctor when we arrived and was hospitalized for a week with a Coumadin drip. Part of life afterwards. My now wife was diagnosed in her 30’s and it was a platelet disorder...not hereditary.
