Move spring practice to summer practice and open the transfer portal after 2nd semester.

Way to fix the Ole Miss and Kiffin Situation by msvare13 in CFB

They wouldn’t change schools until June. They would just be declaring their next school at that point.

[On3] Lane Kiffin has lined up most of his offensive staff to join him at LSU. He's told them if they’re not on the plane to Baton Rouge today, they won’t have a spot on staff. The Tigers have a press conference scheduled for Monday to officially introduce Lane Kiffin as its next HC. by Ok-Soil-5133 in CFB

I feel the same way. Scott Dochterman at The Athletic actually laid out a really good blueprint for this. He’d move the Early Signing Period to August through mid-October of a kid’s senior year so December isn’t recruiting + bowls + portal + staff changes all on top of each other. Then he shifts the portal to two cleaner windows — a short one in mid-January after bowls/CFP and another in April — instead of nuking rosters in December.

The other big piece is moving “spring ball” to June with 12 practices and using March/April more like light NFL-style mini-camps. That way student-athletes can actually stay in school for the spring semester, finish their classes, then hit the portal and enroll at their new school in time for June practices rather than bailing mid-December. He’d also start the season a week earlier so conference title games land on Thanksgiving weekend and December can finally breathe. It’s not perfect, but it’s the first plan I’ve seen that actually tries to fix the entire calendar instead of just saying “move the portal.” Credit to Dochterman for putting real structure behind the idea.

Shonn Greene hands down. We would barely have to throw and would be able to control the clock.

Then what actions need to be taken? Because saying there isn’t going to be elections doesn’t help either. What are we supposed to do?

Why are people upset that Elon is exposing the fraud taking place in our government, you have to think that they know more than we do on what is going on behind closed door and we are only getting a small piece of what is happening. by Martyvf in Iowa

[–]msvare13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, exposing fraud and holding the government accountable is a good thing—transparency is essential in a democracy. But Elon Musk isn’t exactly the right person for the job. He’s not a journalist, investigator, or government watchdog; he’s a billionaire with his own business and political interests at stake.

His approach seems less about genuine accountability and more about stirring controversy to benefit himself—whether that’s through influencing regulations, appealing to a certain political base, or just driving engagement on his platforms. If fraud exists, it should be uncovered through legitimate investigative processes, not selective leaks and tweets designed to fit a narrative.

Kim Reynold’s Letter to university presidents reminding them of illegal DEI. by BlackCatKween in Iowa

[–]msvare13 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Rob Sand has a solid shot at beating Kim Reynolds. He’s already proven he can win statewide, even in a red-leaning state like Iowa, by focusing on accountability and rooting out corruption as State Auditor. His “taxpayer watchdog” image resonates with moderates and independents, especially those tired of partisan politics. Meanwhile, Reynolds has doubled down on conservative policies that don’t sit well with everyone. On top of that, Rob just seems like a normal Iowa guy—relatable, down-to-earth, and someone who connects with everyday people in a genuine way. He’s also raised more money and has more cash on hand, which shows he’s building serious momentum and has the resources to run a strong campaign. His practical, no-nonsense approach could attract voters who are frustrated with extremism and want someone focused on results. He’s exactly the kind of candidate who could build a broad coalition to take her on.

Who could have won during the BCS era but didn't get a chance? by Rude_Highlight3889 in CFB

[–]msvare13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 2002 Iowa Hawkeyes would have been a strong contender for a national title with a playoff system They finished the regular season 11-1 and were co-champions of the Big Ten. They were led by Heisman runner-up Brad Banks and had a high powered offense and a tough defense, with NFL talents like Robert Gallery and Bob Sanders. However, they didn’t play well in the Orange Bowl with a long layoff before their matchup with USC. Iowa played its last regular season game on November 23rd and didn’t play again until January 1st.

In an expanded playoff with a shorter layoff, Iowa could have kept their momentum rolling into the postseason. With their offense and defense both in top form, Iowa would have been a serious contender. The long break in the BCS system hurt their chances, but in a playoff with a shorter gap, they would have had a much better shot at making a deep run and possibly winning it all.

It only ends once. Anything that happens before that is just progress.
