“but the system itself is corrupt as hell, which is to be expected as higher ed devolves to higher ed, inc - just another racket, fronted by DEI incompetents like Harvard’s plagiarist-in-chief.”
You read a lot of dumbassery on these sports threads - but sifting through all the huffing and puffing the real culprit is the NCAA, they disgust me as much as Xiden. They think that the mentally ill sex pervert who goes by Lia Thomas is a girl. I feel bad for those west coast schools that have to come way out here, it’s not going to help them if it doesn’t work. You’ll have Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, Washington, Oregon and others eliminating each other while their precious SEC gets an automatic team in. The NCAA is the GOPe of college football.
It's how they play favorites, the worst-case being North Carolina basketball, although at least karma has caught up with that shitshow.
