LSUFREEK ON MIAMI: BURN BABY BURN

Hey, you! You're looking as fresh as the new snap of fall in the air this morning. Is that a new shirt? No? Well, that new gym routine must be working, Mary SWOLEstonecraft SWELLy, because you look ready to hug the stripes off a tiger, Tiger! ROWR! Did you see this? No? Well, you should probably read that, because it's about the Miami football program. Is it entertaining? OH BOY IS IT.

We're working on a few different things this AM, but we promise two things. First, a CI before 11:00 a.m. Second, LSUFreek is cranking away somewhere in his backwoods bayou lair. This is the first of his works on the matter of Miami football. Next level shit: he has it.

More later. In the meantime, just keep watching Donna Shalala hold that check, and marvel at a story that can knock Cliff Harris on tape saying "We smoked all the weed" to a highway patrolman off our front page.

Question on Spencer's point about any student making money on talents:

I’m not sure if that analogy holds. If some student goes out on the street and gets change for making money, that’s not the same as a player participating in a university-sanctioned and structured program. I don’t think students who perform in concerts get money for CD sales, ticket sales, or however else the school gets money for that.

But kids in the basketball and volleyball bands do get $20/game.

And if I were a badass pianist and the University put out a CD with me as a soloist, I’d certainly be able to use that notoriety to get paying gigs on the side, right?

What university pays $20/game for their band?

I got per diem when we went on trips, but that was it. And if the university released a CD with a student as a soloist, I doubt the student ever saw a nickel of any profit – if they did, you’d also have to reimburse the band/orchestra themselves or run the risk of being sued, I imagine.

But he’d be able to use his status as an elite musician at the university to sell his own CDs on the side, surely. Or, say, to sell his used saxophone at a premium. Right?

$20/game is what UF pays basketball and volleyball band members. Marching Band members just get per diem for road trips.

No, we don't - at least, I didn't when I played in university bands in college.

The logic is indeed faulty. But there’s also a question of scale here. As much as I love my Cornhusker Band CDs, there’s no way in hell we were making millions for the University or the Athletic Department with them. In fact, we were probably operating at a loss if you consider the entire budget an expenditure. The money-making sports, on the other hand, do generate millions at some universities, with no compensation to the players besides educational benefits (which I will continue to claim is underrated in Orson’s argument, though I agree in principle).

"at some universities"

This is a key point. Most of y’all root for the big schools. But keep in mind there there are probably no more than about 30 schools that earn net revenue from Division I football. Allowing colleges to compensate players beyond some very minimal level would probably lead to about half of the teams currently in Division I either dropping back or dropping the sport.

But ...

if about 90 schools are losing money on football and that hasn’t convinced them to drop football or move to a lower division, then why would sharing revenue with players make them take either action? I know the argument is the schools with the money will get the best players, but the schools with the money have the money because they are successful (most of the time) and have huge alumni bases. And successful schools already get most of the best players because of TV opportunities, facilities, hot chicks on campus, etc. In other words, not much would change in the recruiting world, except that a player would get extra compensation for his efforts.

Clever sign off pending.

I had this kinect-like you-build-it set that had fully funcitoning electric motors and gears

and you could build motorized cars or machines or whatever with them. Hard to describe, and I don’t remember the name of the things. Anyway, I built a hook that I’d have a TMNT run to, latch onto, and then turn the motor on so he was slowly being lifted out after (naturally) killing the bad guys. Unfortunately, the bad guys would always hijack the pizza shooter on a nearby desk and shoot at the TMNTs. If one fell off, he died.

UM athletics is a lot poorer than everyone thinks.

Miami kicked off the 2003 realignment wave in large part because their budgets in the Big East depended on making a BCS bowl every single year. They’re a private school with a non-local alumni base that doesn’t donate to the athletic program.

The great irony: Shapiro says he blew them up in part because the players he provided for wouldn’t help him out. Well, the reason he was so valued at Miami is that their NFL alumni don’t give much back to the school either. UM didn’t think it could afford to run him off.

Wait a second

It most certainly WILL effect his future prospects.

If Miami’s football program becomes a plague, top prospects aren’t going to playing for Golden’s teams…that ought to make future wins scarce. And without those future wins his chance of getting the next job, a better job, diminish. Thus, his coaching at Miami for the next couple season most certainly does effect his job prospects in a negative way.

Regardless of how his Miami teams perform on the field the results he might have otherwise gotten are unlikely.

Brandon Sanderson is doing very well in finishing it.

He has the notes & everything. He is doing a full re-read of whole series as he writes book 14. So at least he’s busting his ass.

Mentioned these on here before, but here's my standard list of recommendations right now

Hard Scifi:
Inherit the Stars by James Hogan – mystery/science involving how to reconstruct an extinct alien society, also deals with origins of man –
The Gentle Giants of Ganymede by James Hogan, sequel to ItS and just as good, maybe a little less sciency overall
Gateway by Frederick Pohl – focuses more on character development than your average hard scifi, but it’s a great read; deals a lot with really describing a completely desperate attempt at figuring out alien technology to help mankind survive

High Scifi:
The Hyperion and Endymion series by Dan Simmons – probably my favorite scifi series I’ve ever read. Lots of wacky technology, but the story and characters are just incredible. It’s almost like a futuristic Hatchet, with concepts of time travel and galactic war for good measure

Scifi short stories:
Sandkings, Exit to San Breta, With Morning Comes Mistfall, and A Song For Lya, all by George R.R. Martin. Yes he writes more than fantasy, and his scifi is possibly better than his fantasy

Yep.

But it’s not as bad as it seems. They are still having a 5th season, just no more after that. Unfortunately, they’ve already shot most of that, so there won’t be a good end episode. They were expecting a 6-8 episode 6th season to wrap it up.

I rec "Ghost Story" as well but you really need to have read "Changes" first.

GS is a book that needed to be written though I can udnerstand why some readers didn’t care for it. “Changes” and “Ghost Story” are two pretty dark tales. Well, written, deliciously snarky dark tales.

THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE HERALD IT IS THE SURFER.

Everyone else is a bunch of substitute teachers with a “KICK ME” sign on their back and no keys to the Ultimate Nullifier closet (which as we all know is in West Lafayette).

I'd rather have a time machine to go backwards at the moment.

Forwards isn’t looking so kickass right now, but hopefully next week will start the upswing.

Emocionarse Chloe! Se emociona.

Backwards in time?!? OHNONONONONO!!!

My workload has dropped back to normal following four weeks of ‘spend the end of year money’ rush.

I’m very content for it to be this way.
