No, the Northwestern football team has the same admissions as everyone else.  But it's an excuse that has kept Pat Fitzgerald safe.

Hell, every scholarship kid in the Big Ten could play at Harvard, if they wanted to pay their own way
Not true.

In the conference, only NU, Illinois and UW hamper themselves with stricter requirements than the NCAA prescribes.

DTW also has a Coney Island that may or may not be open. It's a nice airport to transit through, now that both terminals are basically brand new.

And yet I know kids who have gotten in through football at those schools, who didn't at other Big Ten schools

Not under the past couple of administrations at UW. 

The days of King Barry getting favors (think Brent Moss, Johnny Clay) are in the distant past now.

An elite Russian military brigade suffered so many losses while fighting in Ukraine that it was essentially "wiped out" and is expected to take a long time to rebuild, according to a new report.

When it was first sent into Ukraine, the 200th Separate Motor Rifle Brigade, stationed in northwestern Russia near its border with NATO-leaning Finland, had more experience, newer equipment, and better training than many other Russian units, The Washington Post reported on Friday. 

But despite these advantages, the 200th suffered greatly in the months of combat that would follow.

Shortly after the invasion, units belonging to the 200th were attacked and ambushed, leaving numerous soldiers dead and equipment abandoned, according to the report. 

The 200th spent the following weeks defending positions in the Kharkiv region and fending off Ukrainian attacks. By late May, documents obtained by the Post revealed, hundreds of soldiers had been lost in Ukraine from two battalion tactical groups. Several months later, the 200th was routed during Ukraine's lightning counteroffensive in the northeast Kharkiv region

____________________________________________

Wealthy Los Angeles homeowners with an eye on selling their homes are reeling over a new “mansion tax” that could put them on the hook for millions of dollars as part of an effort to aid the homeless, realtors say.

Thanks to the passage of United to House LA, any resident selling their mansion at $5 million and above starting April 1, 2023, will pay a transfer tax of up to 5.5%. This means a $10 million home sale would equate to $550,000 in taxes — the price of a brand-new home in many states other than California.

Proponents hope to raise between $600 million and $1 billion a year to fund affordable housing for the homeless and low-income earners.

“About 32% of City renters are severely cost-burdened, meaning they spend over 50% of their income on rent,” the initiative said. “As families overspend on housing costs, they have less in their budget for health care, childcare, education, healthy food, savings and retirement, and other household costs.”

On Nov. 8, 58% of Los Angeles voters agreed that the wealthy should pay to fix the situation. Now, homeowners are scrambling to find ways to avoid the pricey new penalty, realtors told the Los Angeles Times.


“Rich people are very clever. They know how to manage cash, and they have time to look for loopholes,” said Bret Parsons, an agent at the Compass real estate company
