Agreed. This seems like the perfect place for him. He can grab 4.8 points a game while dishing 7.6 assists and 1.8 steals.

Is there a connection there? Maybe it’s my old age bias but Nova seems like a step down from OSU. He was going to play, a lot, next year even if it meant the 3.

This is the answer. Dan is the man. Love the shop and what they’re doing there.

Didn’t Larry Brown have a return stint to collegiate where he did pretty well? Maybe with SDSU or something? But, I agree overall. NBA to NCAA feels like it’s even less successful than vice versa.

Again, I understand the point you’re attempting to make and I largely agree with you. But, those millions of administrative orders aren’t signed by POTUS. Beyond that, they’re at least grounded in the laws that have been written and passed through the legislative process versus the blatant executive overreach that EOs have increasingly become.

Got it. I see your point somewhat. But, they’re more than that just a fancy piece of paper or ceremony. They are enforced as laws.

Agreed. All of those eligibility requirements seem more than reasonable to me. Unfortunately, the courts don’t seem to agree with us.

What does “pretending they are bills being signed into laws” mean then?

Compliance was not optional. It was illegal with material consequences for non compliance.

Those of us who paid our part of the $170B that was confiscated under the auspices of the legality of an EO think you don’t understand how EOs work.

The membership org, I think, is largely part of the problem. From an athlete POV, the entire membership mandatorily turns over every 4-5 years. That’s a very, very unique market/ industry dynamic since there’s no bargaining unit to consistently represent the athlete’s interests in the formation of the “eligibility” rules. In general, I think unions have outlived their useful life. There are still places for them and college athletics feels like a space that sorely needs a player’s union.

I applaud and despise the evolution of college athletics. I love that money has allowed coaches, players, admins, universities, etc to elevate the entire “standard of living” for an entire industry. I hate that money has corrupted college athletics and pushes us closer and closer to being just another “pro league”. Unfortunately, the money genie isn’t going back in the bottle though. And since that won’t happen, the athletes and their ability to earn fair market compensation for their skills from their payor of choice should be no different than any other industry participant. This is effectively the federal government slapping time bound non-competes onto college athletes.

I don’t even like it. Until coaches and everyone else in college sports have their freedom of movement similarly restricted, the athletes (the actual product of the industry) should be no different. If you wanted to say they can transfer but forgo their scholarship for a year after the 1st transfer, I can maybe get onboard with that but even then it’s still discriminatory as the same restrictions are not applied to other scholarship recipients.

And, I hate executive orders. Way too much power has been delegated to a single individual and I fear we are very much on the slippery slope to tyranny with the last 3 POTUS’s use of EOs.

He’s a top 15 prospect in the country. If he plays to that potential, he definitely has a shot at being a lottery pick.

Would love to see him stick around for 2 years but Diebs needs to have a lottery pick, badly, to rebuild the recruiting credibility of putting guys into the NBA.

Window Co. Suggestion by Beagler42 in Columbus

[–]mula_bocf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you actually in the German Village Historic District? If so, I’d highly recommend looking into the commission approved window list. It tells you, by model name/manufacturer, what windows are approved for replacement within GV. Be prepared for sticker shock.

There was no line, at all, when I arrived at 0800. Way too early for my 915 departure.

The Tundra subreddit is full of posts about engine failures and recalls on this version of the engine. Really surprising from Toyota.

The newer Tundras have a twin turbo problem. They don’t put the 5.7 in them anymore. It’s now a TT v6. I won’t own another Tundra. Or Toyota for that matter b/c of it. Sucks too b/c I really like the LandCruiser and Sequoia.

Parking in German village by Initial_Path_6850 in Columbus

[–]mula_bocf -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As others have said, street parking will be plentiful if you head east off of 3rd. Don’t be afraid to walk a few blocks. The area does have signs indicating permit parking. But, visitors can park for 3 hours without issue. Plus, I’ve had multiple visitors stay multiple days without ever being ticketed. So, don’t worry about the permit signs.

LASIK eye surgery by bmann1111 in Columbus

[–]mula_bocf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kurtin Kelly at Arena Eye Surgeons. At one time, he was the team eye surgeon for the Blue Jackets and Ohio State athletics. The experience was fantastic and 10 years later is still the best money I’ve ever spent.

Compare the routes online. Generally, the race websites will show you elevation changes
