@btoppmeyer One can dislike the ncaa but there is _some_ logic behind what they are trying to do and it isn't just sports centric. Also nowhere do you talk about the serious financial problems of collective bargaining and how that interacts with title ix obligations to crate ad budgets

[Erik Bruvold @ebruvold]

@btoppmeyer Disappointed that no where do you adress the fact that transferring (both for athletes and normal students) increases likelihood of not obtaining degree...and the more that one transfers the less likely complete

[Erik Bruvold @ebruvold]

@feministgadfly @WhiteHouse @Forbes Do not disagree. The challenge right now is that college athletics desperately needs a new model that doesn't need (or is beholden) to football. I am not sure anyone is really elevating discussion about such a vision.

@CalHopBlogs All hopeful signs are appeal is approved. Hearing 4 weeks for Kennedy which means back by pac12

@coreymintz DD arguably is a luxury service but as it has tried to "scale" and expand to fast food and fast casual this is really the result.

[Erik Bruvold @ebruvold]

@coreymintz The only way this service can be provided is either by increasing the overall cost of service (tip+fee) OR by exploiting the gray areas in Indepedent contract law by paying the IC a wage far below minimum.

@beent_donet @1963Sugaree @Gypsy_chunchun @BanrakasBaba @visegrad24 You have got to be kidding. There is no justification or political value of shooting up a _peace_ concert.

@ogtomvalenzuela @RepMikeGarcia 2500 marines would simply mean 2500 more to write down information and then put more people into a limbo state. And politics SUCK because for every questionable claim another that feels like the US SHOULD do something rather than send (for ex) someone back to die in Syria.

[Erik Bruvold @ebruvold]

@ogtomvalenzuela @RepMikeGarcia That isn't true either. The migration crisis of today isn't like that of 20 years ago. The vast majority are making an aslym claim that creates gridlock because THOSE laws were designed for the cold war/aftermath of WW2 and not a world (sadly) with 2 many failed states.

@AshDHarrington Fair and yet you can also "not ride bart", stay over in the Marina and stroll around the Persido and uber over to the Marin Headlands.

This is among the MOST important local/equity economic development things that could be addressed. Great jobs. High and growing demand. Huge Social-economic mobility opportunity. Bottlenecks that require big concensus, concessions and coversations.

@johnfinegan @kairyssdal You do realize that something like 75% of this spending is defense and entitlements (SSI, medicare). I am all for a hard look at that but ukraine and the other stuff are rounding errors in the budget.

@TwistNHook Clearly there is a different scale for the university of spoiled children

[Erik Bruvold @ebruvold]

@TwistNHook Clearly it is a bunch of kids that got the slim letter and then throw into the mix the fact that they have to live in LA.

@TheDigitalDam What I didn't realize (love to know the history here) is that OSU has a MUCH better track record in attracting research $$. I gotta dig more into the history of oregon higher ed goverance/history.

@NorCalNickW4C Madsen is frankly AMAZING and much as I HATE Jeff K. this seems like a rock solid hire.
