How is the ACC planning on luring WVU/Cincy/UCF away from the Big 12 to join their conference? They planning on paying their exit fees to assist them to move laterally for similar or less money? Gonna play the sentimental card with the former Big East schools to come back and play their former Big East brethren that left them high and dry and started all this BS in the first place? Unless somebody else starts swiping Big 12 schools (a la Kansas to B1G or something similar), I don't see any way that the ACC is in a position to poach anybody from the Big 12

Do they really need to lure someone away?

ACC on Verge of Splintering Because of Every-School-For-Itself Approach

“We’re not unified,” is how one ACC source explains it. “We’re unified until someone offers a school more to go somewhere else. Everyone is going to grab it.”

Most of the changes are for the better. Or money If they raise such a question, maybe they are preparing the public for change. Or maybe they're just interested in public opinion on the issue.

I'm confused, by my count we have 18 WRs... we need more?

More is always needed. As long as we can

There was some indian burial ground/JG/CJL curse ritual lifting expenses somewhere in there. Might actually be the bulk of it.

The rituals will probably take place in expensive restaurants

Welcome, Renzo.  We have a good, if spirited, group of Bulls fans here.

Thank you Hi all!

I wonder how much he weighs.
I had a similar one, but not themed, and because of its design it was very unstable. When it was windy enough, I had to reinforce it with something and it wasn't always comfortable.

I think that this keynote address should have taken place.  I think that USF was initially right.  Just as I would if it were UCF.  If there is any environment where censorship should be discouraged, it is the university environment.  We are supposed to teach critical thinking.  I guess that's an outdated idea when others determines which opinions you need to hear.

There seems to be two different camps regarding foreign relations.  First, eschew any attempt at public communication (or no communication at all).  Meeting in public with an enemy is seen as conferring prestige since we are so superior that even meeting with a US official gives the impression that the enemy is legitimate enough to warrant our attention.  It boosts their power and diminishes ours.

Second is the attitude that we should maintain communication and even meet with our enemy in public in order to work on solutions.  It's the old Vito Genevese principle "Keep your friends close; your enemies closer".

The first position, in my opinion, is foolish.  It is ego driven; the holder of this opinion is putting him/herself first.  It also may reveal the fear that people are too stupid and can't be trusted with the facts when not delivered by American media.  The second position puts the pursuit of peace and cooperation ahead of pride.

 

To me, that's populism, not selfishness.
People have grown up with fairy tales about good and evil, in which the good hero never shakes the hand of the villain, but defeats him in a fair fight. So "some" use this to control other people

Hi all, does anyone know if I can order merch to Europe?

In 2014 I dated a girl who was a student and took me to a baseball game. I'd like to rekindle the fond memories now, but can't find it anywhere.

USF approves $22 million to design Bulls’ on-campus football stadium

---

The decision came during a vote at Tuesday’s board of trustees meeting.

 

I do not understand, 22 million just for the design, without starting construction?

Sorry if anyone has asked this before, I haven't found it yet.

I want one of those USF Hawaiian Button up shirts. However, I'm too cheap to throw down $60 for it... I'll keep wasting my money on  thinking about it.

That's right, because if you spend $60 on a shirt and spill beer on it - it would be even more offensive
