    You're probably correct, but it reminded me of this.

    Illinois vs Akron won't happen, but the Committe could have some fun with that one.

    Penn State 90, Illinois 89 Postgame

    "Criminally stupid comments..." Ah, there's the hyperbole we've been missing in these 32 pages. Thanks for fixing that.

    Penn State 90, Illinois 89 Postgame

    Yeah, well that's all well and good. But the defensive problems haven't been fixed all season and it's way too late to fix them now. You'll be complaining about "hot takes and idiotic comments" right up to being booted out of the Tournament and say "on to next YEAR." That's just as idiotic as...

    Penn State 90, Illinois 89 Postgame

    I just watched Brad's presser. He said, "we're playing with the wrong mentality" (i.e. all offense and no defense). 26 games into the season and he's just now figuring that out...and hasn't realized it BEFORE now? We're doomed, ha-ha!

    I'm at the point until something official comes out from the Kansas DA, and/or the U of I, I have no opinion on this matter. Too many unknowns.

    Maybe I'm reading your statistics incorrectly, but over 12,000 of the total 56,000 enrolled at the University this fall are international students which is about 22%, not 7%. Or maybe you were only counting from other U.S. states.

    “Those who know don’t talk. Those who talk don’t know." ― Tao Te Ching I think some on here who say they know what happened, don't have a clue. We shall soon find out.

    I don't know. When is zero tolerance not zero tolerance? You can't say zero tolerance and have some tolerance. I think the whole thing will have to go away, or the university's policy will look arbitrary. Of course, if it takes 3 months to get the felony charge dropped to a misdemeanor, it...

    This is how I feel about the whole situation and will feel until it is resolved.

    Yes, I agree. I don't think there is such a thing. I asked that question in reply to someone who mentioned TSJ accepting responsibility for that very thing. But maybe the University would look at it differently. I truly don't know. My leaning would be if there is admission of any level of...

    Where does your "very minor misdemeanor sex assault" collide with Josh's "zero tolerance policy?" Serious question and I do not know the answer.
