@BallCoachNelson Fair point, Coach! I see what you mean now.
You’re talking about the comparison of seasons left to play, they get 3 seasons of D1 eligibility remaining instead of being capped at 2 under the old limit. That definitely makes the 2-year JUCO route much more lucrative.
@BallCoachNelson It makes the transfer path cleaner since redshirts are eliminated, but it doesn't give JUCO players an "extra" year of eligibility over a kid who went straight to a 4-year university.
@BallCoachNelson Even if the math works out perfectly, you don't magically get a "bonus" year of play compared to everyone else. Under the new model, if you play 2 years at JUCO, you have used up 2 years of your 5. You transfer to a D1 school with 3 years left on your clock.
@ChristopherHale The anonymous Christian concept is actually quite Catholic. This very concept he’s describing was developed by a Jesuit, Karl Rahner, and is widely accepted by the Church.
@JeremyCorbell@WhiteHouse Are you saying you didn’t connect with @RepLuna about this? You should have known. We all knew since early May. https://t.co/Uaa129UDA9
@JohnOleske@seanmdav Except Biden signed all of these contracts and Trump would have to pay out of them and then sign new contracts, costing the taxpayer millions.
@simplifiedseth@Tawadros15 I’m actually not whining about it at all, nor did I interpret such from OP. Just pointing out that historically speaking, he’s inaccurate.
@simplifiedseth@Tawadros15 Popes explicitly condemned the unjust kind (kidnapping Africans/Natives for profit): Sicut Dudum (1435), Sublimus Deus (1537), Gregory XVI (1839). I’m saying every civilization had slavery; the Church’s dignity theology helped end the worst of it.
@simplifiedseth@Tawadros15 Yes, the distinction implies ‘just title servitude’ existed in theory, like POWs in a just war (per Augustine/Aquinas just war doctrine) or penal labor, common across all ancient societies & even Geneva Conventions until recently. Not hereditary race-based chattel slavery.
@simplifiedseth@Tawadros15 So? Let’s not pretend this disproves the broader historical point. The Catholic Church issued repeated papal condemnations of unjust enslavement centuries earlier, as the OP said.
