Cincinnati Bearcats, #Infosec and tech stuff. The occasional observation on politics and music. Somewhat silly.

FYI: is a fan site

Three state Attorneys General have lined up behind the Big 12 vs. Texas Tech/Ken Paxton: Oklahoma, Kansas and now Utah.

(More to come, I presume)

It’s 0-0, 87th minute

NEWS: The Big 12 has filed a complaint in federal court in Dallas for a declaratory judgement, which would effectively give the league the ability to enforce its by-laws. This comes in response to the Texas AG's letter last week. This would empower the Big 12 to have autonomy to make a decision on Brendan Sorsby's case.

Grateful for the offer @GoBearcatsMBB .

And here I thought I'd never get to use this again..

[Michael McCann @McCannSportsLaw]

The Sorsby court ruling is surprising and IMO wrong—if the NCAA can’t disqualify a player who bet on his own team, then something is off. But it is a non-final order and has no precedential effect outside Lubbock County Texas: https://t.co/1j13kskLyk.

Dude Curaçao has a smaller population than Macon, Georgia and the most popular sport there is baseball and they just scored a goal on Germany at the World Cup

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.

Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.

I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."

"They just come with the table, man."

They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.

This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.

I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.

"Did we…?"

"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."

Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.

My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."

Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.

I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.

Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.

I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.

Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

[Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond @Okla_OAG]

Texas Tech's actions in obtaining eligibility for Brendan Sorsby -- an athlete the NCAA declared permanently ineligible for extensive wagering on college sports, including games involving his own team -- have constituted a shameful chapter in the story of college football.

If Texas Tech will not do the right thing, the Big 12 should. https://t.co/lwTPeL9dcF
