I did when I was 20 or 21, but I haven't spent more than an hour, total, in a strip club in the last 17 years. I'd rather waste my time buying cheap drinks for whores that will put out.Quote:

NCAA athletes can pursue TV money
In dismissing a motion by the NCAA to prevent football and men's basketball players from legally pursuing a cut of live broadcast revenues, a federal court judge Tuesday raised the stakes for the governing body of college sports as it defends its economic model.
Judge Claudia Wilken issued her ruling Tuesday, rejecting the NCAA's motion that players in the antitrust suit led by former UCLA star Ed O'Bannon should be precluded from advancing their lawsuit on procedural grounds.
The NCAA had objected to the players amending their lawsuit last year to claim a share of all television game revenues, not just those from rebroadcasts.
"Now the (NCAA and its co-defendants) are facing potential liability that's based on the billions of dollars in revenue instead of tens or hundreds of millions," said Michael Hausfeld, interim lead counsel for the plaintiffs. "It's a more accurate context for what the players deserve."
Unlike NFL or NBA athletes, players lack a union or similar body to negotiate a share of revenues flowing from media and other licensing contracts. The NCAA does not legally treat athletes as employees, and players have not organized to represent their interests collectively.
The O'Bannon suit attacks that model through the means of class-action, the legal question now before Wilken. Former college stars such as Bill Russell and Oscar Robertson have joined O'Bannon on behalf of all Division I players in football and men's basketball, asking Wilken to declare that they are similarly situated and to certify the class.
Wilken on Tuesday set the hearing on that motion for June 20 and ordered the NCAA to make its arguments against class certification on the merits rather than procedural objections such as the one she just rejected. The NCAA was joined in that motion by its partner, Collegiate Licensing Company.
In a statement, NCAA general counsel Donald Remy characterized the ruling as a partial victory for the NCAA.
"Although our motion to strike was denied, the judge has signaled skepticism on plaintiff's class-certification motion and recognized the plaintiffs' radical change in their theory of the case," Remy said. "This is a step in the right direction toward allowing the NCAA to further demonstrate why this case is wrong on the law and that plaintiffs have failed to demonstrate that this case satisfies the criteria for class litigation."
The ruling was met with enthusiasm by Hausfeld, who leads a team that includes more than a dozen law firms that have invested more than $20 million in legal fees pursuing the lawsuit since 2009. The prospect of an award that recognizes live broadcast revenues helps support their efforts.
In the event that the plaintiffs prevail, Hausfeld has set up a mechanism for players to collect licensing revenues. The Former College Athletes Association (FCAA) would negotiate licenses with the NCAA, member colleges, video game and media companies, according to Jon King, a former Hausfeld LLC lawyer who worked on the case.
King disclosed the existence of the FCAA in a wrongful termination suit he filed against Hausfeld earlier this month. He was fired by Hausfeld for undisclosed reasons in October, after serving as one of the lead lawyers in developing the case for the plaintiffs.
Details about the FCAA are scant, but Hausfeld said it would not serve as a revenue stream for his firm. Overseeing formation of the FCAA are Sonny Vaccaro, an unpaid consultant who has worked with Hausfeld to build the anti-trust case; Ramogi Huma, president of the National College Players Association; and Ken Feinberg, a prominent Washington D.C. attorney who helped distribute nearly $7 billion to victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and has run other major victim compensation efforts.
Wilken has set a jury trial on the matter, if it gets that far, for June 2014.

I see nothing. Probably because you've got it set as a URL, not a vid.
It was working on my phone but I see the post has been altered so I guess it works correctly now for everyone.Quote:

Ohio State raises ticket prices from $70 to $79
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State's athletic department is raising ticket prices in football and men's basketball and for golf fees in order to continue to offer 36 varsity sports and upgrade facilities, athletic director Gene Smith said.
The school is also initiating "premium" games in both football and basketball, with large increases planned for fans wanting to see those contests.
Tickets to Ohio State's home football game tickets for most seats will go from $70 to $79 this fall. The price will go up for as many as two premium games a season to $110 to $175 per game.
"We haven't raised tickets prices the last three years," Smith said. "Looking ahead into our financial plan, we knew at some point we would have to do this."
Only one game has been selected as a premium game for the 2013 football season — the Sept. 28 date with Wisconsin, which has a new coach and will be going through a transitional year. Tickets for that game will cost a maximum of $110.
Smith said Ohio State had considered also making the Penn State game this fall a premium game, but declined to do so because of the volatility of the matchup. The Nittany Lions face severe limitations in recruiting and a bowl ban in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky scandal.
Ohio State hosts archrival Michigan in football in even-numbered years. Tickets for those games will almost certainly cost as much as $175.
Smith cited the costs of supporting the most varsity sports of any school in the nation for the increase, in addition to $4 million being spent at Ohio Stadium for concrete resurfacing, $1 million for a new track at the Jesse Owens Stadium and $2.2 million for a new roof and $600,000 for a new field at the football team's practice facility.
Smith said he did not believe that Ohio State was pushing ticket prices as high as the market will bear.
"We're different than most programs," he said, referring to the large football ticket allotment set aside for students (30,000) and for faculty and staff (15,000). "We do this because our people are passionate. We believe that they'll show up."
A finance committee accepted the recommendations on Thursday. The school's board of trustees is expected to approve the increases on Friday.
The measure will raise around $6 million per year, $5.2 million in football and $800,000 in men's basketball.
Men's basketball tickets will go up starting next season, by $6 for the best seats and less in other areas of Value City Arena.
Smith and the athletic department were also approved to designate as many as five men's basketball games a year as premium games, most likely the home games with Indiana, Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin and possibly the ACC/Big Ten Challenge opponent in years when Ohio State hosts that game.
No figures for the cost of those premium games was provided by the university.
Most of college football's top programs do not charge the same for every game, as Ohio State has for years.
Ohio State's opponents at Ohio Stadium this fall include Buffalo, San Diego State, Football Championship Subdivision member Florida A&M and Big Ten foes Wisconsin, Iowa, Penn State and Indiana.
There have already been some complaints from Ohio State fans about the increases to the university, Smith and call-in shows and in letters to the editor.
According to figures provided by Brett Scarbrough, Ohio State's assistant athletic director in charge of ticketing and premium seating, 48,000 season-ticket packages were sold last year to Ohio Stadium. Of that figure, faculty/staff represented 13,666 season packages and students bought 15,556.
Ohio Stadium is currently undergoing concrete resurfacing that required Ohio State to shift its annual spring football game to Cincinnati's Paul Brown Stadium, home of the NFL Bengals. The spring game is April 13.
Many of Ohio State's season-ticket packages require purchasers to first make major donations to the university.
Fees at the university's Scarlet and Gray golf courses will also rise by a small percentage.
Ohio State football tickets were just $43 in 2001 and have risen almost every year since: 2002 ($45), 2003 ($47), 2004 ($57), 2005 ($58), 2006 ($59), 2007 ($60), 2008 ($62), 2009 ($63), 2010-12 ($70).

Yep, heard about this from my uncle last week. He's been a season ticket owner for years and was talking about it.
Umm, what the fuck? On College Football Live, they're saying that the Big 12 is gonna ask the NCAA for a waiver to be allowed to host a championship game. What the fuck's a point of a championship game with only 10 teams? Everyone already plays each other! There's your goddamn championship. Unless the Big 12 is planning on adding two teams in the next 12 months and are just looking to get the paperwork out of the way, I don't see how they get a conference championship game when everyone already plays each other.
Yep. :smh:Quote:

If you were wondering how Ole Miss was able to reel in the nation’s No. 7 overall class this season, 2014 linebacking recruit Clifton Garrett has your answer.
Garrett tweeted on Saturday that he had received 54 handwritten letters from Ole Miss in one mail delivery. Yes, 54 and all handwritten.
Wow.
#OleMiss aint playin no games!! 54 hand written letters today #RebelNation!! instagr.am/p/Vhdxt1NUzd/
— Clifton Garrett CG3 (@CG340) February 9, 2013
He took a picture of his Saturday haul, which also included letters from Nebraska, Notre Dame, Iowa, Georgia and Arizona State, but he specifically gave a shoutout to Ole Miss, which sent several Ole Miss fans to his Twitter page begging for his commitment to the Rebels.
This isn’t a big surprise to those who have been following Ole Miss’ recent recruiting tactics. Hugh Freeze and his staff blanket the country with verbal offers to the nation’s best recruits and hope several decide to take a chance. That’s how the Rebels were able to land the 2013 No. 1 and No. 5 overall recruits this past signing day.
Garrett is currently a four-star recruit from Plainfield South HS in Joliet, Ill. Ole Miss already has one four-star commitment for the 2014 class.

These kids are so fuckin' stupid. I wouldn't go to some school because they sent me a bunch of retarded letters in the mail. Infact, I'd specifically NOT go to them because they seem so damn desperate. All that wasted paper. :smh:
I do agree that is a colossal waste.
And going to a nine or ten game schedule.Quote:
