Well I did say that donors' desire to not burn money acted as damping, i.e., the dashpot.
Not true. Schools absolutely CANNOT be involved in the setting up, instigating, or follow through of a deal. However, in January the NCAA came out and basically said, if a collective that gives money to your athletes does something wrong, the school is “guilty until proven innocent.”
Yes…to all of that. What a bizarre event that was.
just a thought…
I'm immediately reminded of the scene in Margin Call in which Demi Moore's character is interrogating Peter Sullivan regarding his graduate work in propellant combustion ("So, you're a 'rocket scientist'"). I'm in need of a GIF but at the office, however, and bereft of same.
Like other jangle pop tunes, Orange Crush isn't much of a banger.Yes…to all of that. What a bizarre event that was.
Total Random Tangent: speaking of REM…Why doesn’t the Orange Krush use their tune Orange Crush? Seems like a no brainer to me. Micheal Stipe lived in Collinsville in HS years. I feel like he would likely give his blessing…I
Nice analogy. I'd also add that NIL and the transfer rules currently in effect are actually "free rolling" on the scale, causing wild swings away fro the desired equilibrium. If the NCAA can stabilize one of them, there is much more likely a possibility of some sort of equilibrium.If we are now using the language of dynamical systems...
I agree, and I think the situation we find ourselves in now is one where we've overshot the more stable equilibrium and will see the system move back toward something more sustainable.
I think of it like a mass-spring-damper system. Previously it was held in an unstable position with the spring stretched by NCAA rules. When the NIL dam broke, it moved toward a more stable situation but overshot. Donors' wishes to not dump money down the drain will act as damping and cause.the system to tend toward a more stable equilibrium, but it's going to take some time.
(Sorry, I'm about to go teach a class that involves mass-spring-damper systems.)
One too many. Another wing would be a replacement for TSJ if he stays in the draft.
If a non-athlete on scholarship wants to transfer, they are certainly free to do so, but have to find a way to continue to pay for college, as the gaining university is not likely to offer a scholarship for academics.
I think the problem with that concept is that schools don't control NIL, they don't issue the contracts between the private entity and the student.
I guarantee that everyone is on the same page from the admin to the coaches and those actually dishing out NIL. Bad deals are bad for the brand, and everyone understands there is only so much to go around and you need to maximize how far it stretches. No one gets a NIL deal without school approval.
Thank you for including the umlauts
I beg to differ
I love the song, I just think it's just lyrically dark AF for a student section song...which is unfortunate because otherwise
Fair. It isn’t Maiden or Motörhead. But it’s less jingle-jangle 80s college rock than most of their catalog. I mean…It rocks harder than Neil Diamond or some of the other tunes you’ve hear to death at games for 50 years.
(Yes, I like Sweet Caroline. I’m not a heartless monster.)
Anyways…I get what you’re saying. Orange Crush isn’t the perfect stadium rocker…and I’m not a super big REM fan by any means. But it’s sorta cinematic in a way, it builds, and it has a fairly catchy chorus with Orange Krush in the title.
Okay…I’m way too tangential on this one…Sorry everybody.
You would be wrong.
When you lay it out there like that.....it's depressing. Nothing can be promised at this point.
Gotta hand it to Louisville raking in over $7 million in profit per win!!
Lol. In all seriousness, I have always had a sort of soft spot for Louisville. They're second fiddle in a small state, and their incredibly impressive history/tradition will always have to live in the shadow of the greatest program of all-time in Kentucky. For them to be as good as they have been historically and have such incredible fan support is impressive.
Ah, but Sweet Caroline is infinitely shoutable by the entire stadium, so it earns bonus points for that.

I mean, I enjoy said song and REM in general. I just don't think it's a good stadium song.
