This is truly the worst thing that could happen for the Big Ten.

This is a major college football scandal that is going to resonate beyond sports coverage and, I predict, cost someone or multiple people their jobs.

It cannot happen. I want investigations and firings now.

I’ve lost all respect sorry this is absolutely rigged for money... Or ratings in not sure which. I won’t be silent . Just saw it live sry.

@BudElliott3 7 guys in protection, qb, and 3 wide outs. State with 8 men in coverage and got beat like that? Seems like bad defense to me

@ducksays Buy it. Finance is a scam

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

In Germany, a talented 14-year-old earns his club money. In America, his parents pay the club $15,000 a year.

That single inversion explains why "we will not" is the most accurate line ever written about US soccer.

FIFA built a global system for this. Training compensation and solidarity payments send a cut of every transfer fee back to the clubs that developed the player, from age 12 onward. Develop one future pro and your academy gets paid for a decade. Barcelona's La Masia, Ajax, every Bundesliga academy runs on this logic. The kid is the asset.

US Soccer refuses to enforce those rules. When Seattle's Crossfire Premier claimed its $60,000 share of DeAndre Yedlin's transfer to Tottenham, it got nothing. Claims on the Dempsey and Bradley transfers died partly because the federation couldn't even produce the youth training records.

So American clubs earn zero dollars when a kid turns pro. They earn when a kid enrolls. Which makes the parent the customer, and the product is whatever keeps the parent writing checks: travel tournaments, hotel weekends, $500 showcase events, private training at $100 an hour. Elite pathways run $8,000 to $20,000 a year. A comparable academy spot in Italy costs about 120 euros.

Follow the incentive one level deeper and it gets darker. A club dependent on fees can't cut its weakest paying players, so rosters optimize for retention over development. The scouting pool shrinks to families who can afford the cliff, which appears around age 11, exactly when development matters most. The country runs a talent filter sorted by household income instead of ability.

Every four years someone proposes fixing this. The proposal always requires the people profiting from the $15,000 model to vote themselves out of business.

They will not.

What if Project Zomboid had the cozy pacing of Stardew Valley?
Here’s a look at In the Van, a cozy survival game being developed by our 2-person indie team!

A repost would mean the world to our little team if you like what you see!

@zimm3rmann @dylthorn @AngryThorr42069 @sarah_wxtx And we sell them at that cost. Sure the electrical contractor can do it cheaper, but they never include load shedding modules or any gas work. HVAC contractors like us do them turn key done, and it cost a ton! Also we use Briggs vs Generac for the unit quality difference.

@dylthorn @AngryThorr42069 @sarah_wxtx FYI as a contractor who installs these in rural Virginia, a generator, transfer switch, wire, labor, and other materially for a full house 26kw whole house is absolutely 20-22k installed. Yeah it cost us 9k to buy it all, but overhead is crazy now a days! Your right!!! lol

Dear gaming companies, just because I’ll buy GTA VI at $80 doesn’t mean that I’ll buy every new AAA game that comes out for $80 too

[Tanner G @therealzwolle]

@CodyNoel18 @Builder_Brigade Exactly what I was thinking. You can do a center cut 4”, SOMETIMES a 6”, but those are basically completely cut out. They have now compromised those and they need replaced…. Yikes

Great having @DeAngeloHall23 back on campus. A lot of Hokie History in this picture #LGH

All future consoles may cost a minimum of $1000 but at least you can ask chatgpt if it's raining outside
