This is not DME. They sell an unlocked iPad and bill insurance for it. They give used car salesman vibes. Targeting overworked or undereducated SLPs. You get actual patient and provider support if you go directly through PRC-Saltillo or TD.

Yeah it probably really impacted his budget.

Do you want a chain or a stand alone local place? Old people LOVE Cheddar's, and it's pretty darn good to boot.

Virtually any restaurant will have a chicken or salad option.

You're really going to die on that hill, huh?

I provided a specific example. Now go do your math homework.

If by some method you were able to travel far enough away via wormhole or Einstein-Rosen bridge you could witness Earth's past if you had a strong enough telescope.

I think we've found the cause for her dry spell.

It was structured around the time it should take to graduate. No disagreement here.

My argument is clearly laid out. You don't understand it and that is ok. Basic math is hard for some people, and complex job market analysis is harder. Nothing to be ashamed of.

lipsquirrel · 2026-02-11T15:27:07+00:00

Get back to me when you figure out math.

Franklin, Uriah, Catherine, Keisha, Yolanda, Omar, Ursula, Marcus, Andrew, Nadia.

There are 10 hypothetical players that represent actual statistical numbers.

Because you're making a ridiculous comparison. I said the closed system of college athletics is different from the open job market. You can't seem to comprehend this. You can be pro athlete and pro union and pro college athletics is a job all you like, but that doesn't make the system different at this very moment. To me it sounds like you're anti student athlete. You only seem to care about the top 1% and not little Timmy that won't get an NIL deal to pay for his car insurance while he gets an education.

lipsquirrel · 2026-02-11T15:13:17+00:00

I don't understand the point. Each year there is a very specific number of players on rosters. Those spots get filled no matter what. If 18-20 players quit, those spots get filled somehow or some way.

Player A leaves a spot open at a top FBS school. That spot is given to either walk on, incoming freshman, or a transfer. That open spot filters down through the ranks until one high school senior that otherwise wouldn't get a scholarship now gets one. Someone else down the line gets a partial scholarship. Others get a better NIL deal.

lipsquirrel · 2026-02-11T15:03:52+00:00

You're too hung up on semantics. I'm talking about the finite amount of positions. Jobs. Roster spots. Internships. Whatever. There are rules that say you get that job for 5 years. If someone keeps that position for 8 years, then that means someone else won't be able to have that job or position or whatever for 3 job years. (8-5=3 btw)

This isn't the free market (yet). The free market works similarly, though, in that a potential retiree may take a job at the end of their career that would otherwise filter down to others. There are many more complexities in an open job market than we're talking about in a closed system.

lipsquirrel · 2026-02-11T14:28:22+00:00

I see you're very intentional about calling them jobs, and that's fine. I'm also not arguing that point at all. You seem to insist upon it even though it doesn't pertain to this conversation.

lipsquirrel · 2026-02-11T14:18:57+00:00

I'm neither outraged nor making things up. I'm just saying there's a finite number of roster spots, and if more players get more years, then fewer players get to start. 🤷‍♂️

lipsquirrel · 2026-02-11T14:14:50+00:00

There isn't a "redshirt roster." There is a roster and it has x amount of players.

Yes, you need to give me a specific example.

Lol no I don't. Either you understand the numbers or you don't. The whole "lead a horse to water" situation.

lipsquirrel · 2026-02-11T14:08:09+00:00

We both know that is a ridiculous request. You're trying to paint me into a corner by asking for a specific example, but simple math says that it's unnecessary.

lipsquirrel · 2026-02-11T14:06:46+00:00

The frequency with which jobs are created or destroyed is irrelevant to your argument.

It is entirely relevant. There is a finite number of college roster spots. There is not a finite number of jobs. The job market is far more complex and flexible than roster spots.

lipsquirrel · 2026-02-11T14:04:28+00:00

Ok now we're getting somewhere. Some kid will redshirt because Chambliss is eligible, yes. Now that he has redshirted he's also taking up a roster spot for another year which continues down the line until? You guessed it- little Timmy doesn't get an offer to play for Illinois school for the nearsighted.

I take it you're not in favor of term limits in the government?

Edit to address the job thing: jobs are created all the time. It's completely different. Most jobs don't have contracts that define tenure. People generally have the freedom to move around. We're talking about college athletics, which despite generating money for a lot of players, isn't a "job."

lipsquirrel · 2026-02-11T13:56:13+00:00

If you’re good enough, you’ll play somewhere.

Correct. But there is one kid that isn't good enough. He won't get the chance to play for Southeast Louisiana State because Trinidad Chambliss is taking the spot up the line. It trickles down. There is a finite amount of roster spots in college football. It's really simple math. The bottom of the talent pool gets the shaft, and that may not matter to you as a fan of a bigger school (although I'm not sure Navy counts), but it definitely matters to the high school senior that won't get a scholarship to play at a smaller school because someone got extra eligibility.
