You do realize that the journalist writer of the story usually isn't responsible for the headline, right?
Of course.

UW not granting the makeup senior year NCAA is allowing for spring sports

https://www.mlive.com/sports/2020/04/no-extra-year-wisconsin-tells-spring-sports-seniors-to-move-on.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=wolverines_sf&utm_medium=social

Anyone else hear chicks?
This was expected, and I agree with it. The rationale applied here was that the rest of the student body isn't getting its semester back and it would be unfair to grant another semester/year to a small group. They've had their 4, and they will have their degrees. This thing has hurt everyone in this country. Nobody is above this.

Except they can keep going to school, and only NCAA rules prevent the schools from granting indefinite eligibility/scholarships.  The NCAA lifted those rules.  Plenty of rules are being adjusted based on this, and there is no reason not to use the NCAAs modified rule.

Spring sports are not the biggest deal at UW. It would affect about 35. I wonder what it would actually cost. I'd assume less than a mil.

Well, the wife voluntold me to help with the food boxes tomorrow, which is today, which is pretty soon, and it got chilly and windy here, very windy.

That whipped me yesterday, the boxes weight about 12 pounds and I was schlepping them all over, and at one point we had to move all the yogurt from one reefer to another for some reason.  They have two reefer trailers that were full of food items, potatoes, eggs, bacon, yogurt, fruit, all of which has to be packed into these boxes which are then sealed and counted and labeled.  The boxes are for anyone in the restaurant business laid off, they were aiming for 3500 boxes.  I am amazed how many boxes that is.  I feel like I moved and schlepped about 20,000.

We were both too tired to fix dinner so I got takeout from the Nook and told them about the boxes.  I'll probably have to take an ibuprofen today.

We both wanted to do something.  All this is in a parking lot, all the food donated, and a homeless guy wondered by and they told him to break down the empty boxes for an hour and they'd give him food.  He was actually very coherent, poorly dressed, obviously homeless, but laughing and carrying on.  I'd guess he has a drug problem.  The eggs and bacon and rolls had to be cooked, but they could give him fruit and yogurt obviously.  I hope the wind hasn't led to issues.

Barry said it was not about the cost. I guess I'd have to believe him. He did say all would be graduating. Time to move on. This sucks for everyone. Life deals out some bad cards sometimes.

Texas is a pretty cool state except it is filled with Texicans.  Except for UT Erin, she is pretty nice.  Very pretty also,  but married.  As am I.

Happily.
