Scottie Scheffler on today's pin positions: "Most of the pins today were kind of absurd." "The one on 14 is the hardest pin I've seen in a long time."

In a joint meeting today at ACC spring meetings, athletic directors and head football coaches discussed at length the future of the College Football Playoff, swinging support behind a 24-team field. “There is consensus,” said one. “The room isn’t split,” said another.

Wetzel preaching. Don't need private equity. These departments don't have a revenue problem, they have a spending problem "College sports spends too much money. The facilities are too nice, the teams are too big, the staffs are too bloated, the buyouts are too big"

Roughly 220 billionaires reside in California. They employ roughly 10 million people. If a wealth tax passes, everyone with a billion-dollar idea will think twice about whether they want to build that business in California. But that isn’t even the most dangerous part. When this turns out to raise less money than expected, the bar will be lowered to $100 million. Then $50 million. Then $10 million. Then $1 million. They’ll call it “the millionaire tax.” And since ~80% of the California population isn’t a millionaire, they’ll vote it into existence because “it doesn’t affect them.” But many of those “millionaires” are providing jobs. Housing. Innovation. Buying products and services. They’re a net economic benefit. If you discourage them from living in California, they will leave. Then it becomes a downward spiral where they have to tax everyone else to stay afloat. Not saying the system is perfect. But a simpler solution might simply be: spend less money and encourage more people to move back / create a billion dollar idea.

Amazing.

I understand the timeline lines up for “Syracuse sucks because they left the Big East” takes but let’s be real. Syracuse sucks because Jim Boeheim held on way too long and then they handed it off to his unqualified assistant who can’t do the job at an even remotely adequate level
