if someday people stopped posting things in need of condescending condemnation...like this...I'd consider it.

Have you ever stopped for a moment to consider that your every response doesn't have to be riddled with condescending condemnation? Waldo turned this university into a swinging gate of low level students, hence the drop in entry requirements paired with spike in enrollment. Then, he bolts. Questioning that is very far from wrong.

Sankey denies recruiting schools (to keep from litigation), but if you read between the lines... they are waiting for the courts to free Florida St, Clemson, etc.... In the first media days with Texas and Oklahoma as SEC members, Sankey was asked multiple times about the future of the league, and how much he pays attention to the current lawsuits between Florida State, Clemson and the ACC. Judges in Florida, South Carolina and North Carolina are currently hearing arguments in those cases. Florida State and Clemson have sued challenging the grant of rights; the ACC has sued those schools to defend the conference. "Our presidents have been clear that I am not going to entangle us in litigation around expansion. So I pay attention, but I'm not engaged in those conversations. The broader implications, obviously if things change, then there's a new level of uncertainty." https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/40568517/commissioner-greg-sankey-says-sec-not-recruiting-other-schools

You'd think. But we have had ADs, basically the 3 that we've had since I've been a student/alum, that do not consistently market. Rather, they openly state, "OK, THIS is the game we need to ramp up our efforts." Every game in every season is the next opportunity to ramp up every effort and use every tool. At every level, we are who they say we are.

Yeah, whatever. SS are there to eliminate legitimate threats, period. A SS sniper was glassing the kid for over a minute while watching him crawl around on the roof like Spiderman carrying a rifle. That is a green light to eliminate without approval, period. We are, unsurprisingly, on the idea of two thoughts: 1. Grotesque level of incompetence to the point of eliminating any minimal amount of trust remaining in government agencies. Or 2. We already don't trust government agencies and the entire event smells of a fish market.
