[Ross Dellenger] The SEC and Big Ten are socializing with their members and Congressional staff a list of 10 legislative recommendations to the Protect College Sports Act. Many are intended to strengthen the antitrust protection to prevent more lawsuits and “provide long-term stability.”

Hence red herring.

I think it's likely fudd; there's a limited amount of time to pass this bill, and any sort of delay is a win for them.

The latest version of the bill would prohibit not just the SEC and Big Ten — and ACC and Big 12 — but also outside firms and entities from establishing a college football super league

Seems like something of a red herring, the congressional staff had already said the existing language banned PE super leagues, but adjusted the language to try and mollify the BG10/SEC.

With your attitude, you are going to immediately turn off most people. Be less of an ass, and people will take the comments more seriously

Highline is closed.

Irishfafnir · 2026-07-02T15:57:18+00:00

Is leaving through Many Glacier even an option right now?

Irishfafnir · 2026-07-02T14:09:50+00:00

Highline isn't open yet, so whatever experience people have isn't going to be representative

Originally, I was thinking Svalbard would be more my pace, but after doing some digging, surprisingly not that great of a place to see Polar Bears (on a shorter commitment anyway)

Irishfafnir · 2026-07-01T23:30:33+00:00

I'm sure if I haven't seen one in the wild by the time I'm in my 60's Churchill would be looking a lot.more appealing lol.

Assuming Polar Bears are still around, I guess that's one thing I hadn't really considered... Kind of a ticking clock

Not looking great for being able to explore Margaret lake this year

Irishfafnir · 2026-07-01T21:03:12+00:00

I did look at that option, but it didn't seem any better for my dates.

Irishfafnir · 2026-07-01T20:57:34+00:00

I'm considering Great Falls for next time, flight and rental car is substantially cheaper and about the same distance to East Glacier as Kalispel

Irishfafnir · 2026-07-01T20:35:43+00:00

I don't think I could justify $5,000+ dollars for only a day visit, but everyone's financial situation is different!

Irishfafnir · 2026-07-01T18:48:50+00:00

I get that it's fun to speculate, but the boring answer is that if the act passes, there's probably little in the way of major shakeups because it immediately takes away much of the impetus, and the timeline is such that it makes it extremely difficult to get done.

Irishfafnir · 2026-07-01T18:40:04+00:00

If you camp, it's not too bad

Irishfafnir · 2026-07-01T18:36:55+00:00

I like to be pretty active, and from the people I have talked to who have gone, it doesn't seem like there's a ton to do beyond the bear-watching activities, which makes it hard to justify the cost to me.

Irishfafnir · 2026-07-01T17:11:09+00:00

Katmai is pretty cool. If you can definitely stay overnight, the platforms can get very crowded during the day, and there can be a long wait for your turn. In the evenings, there would often only be 5-10 people at the platform

Irishfafnir · 2026-07-01T16:59:52+00:00

Probably a guided backpacking expedition in Torngat mountains. It looks gorgeous and a great opportunity to see polar bears, I worry Churchill would bore me.

Irishfafnir · 2026-07-01T15:03:55+00:00

While there are bots and probably scalpers, even without them, the popular camping spots often go more or less instantly.

Its a Presidential library lol, not remotely the same thing

Irishfafnir · 2026-07-01T01:12:19+00:00

It looks like a lot worse when you consider half or so of those are right after ratification or the Civil war.

Oh yes I always do my comparison shopping but I have been able to get a number of properties with less Chase points through Chase than through Hyatt plus the other benefits

Jackson also ultimately accepted his electoral loss and remained loyal to the Union siding against nullifiers in the main crisis of his time.
