I read about that, too.

But it doesn't excuse exempting NIL money from taxes. That's an awfully strange priority for the state legislature.

Oh, I don't think it matters much one way or the other with respect to the NIL thing.  Only pointing out that the perception that the state doesn't care about its literacy rate and that its kids are still the worst at reading may be an incorrect one.

College football is religion in the South and even more so in places like MS and AL where they have nothing else.

Not true.  In LA we also have gumbo.

And shitty roads.

Yeah. Impressive turnaround on that. One that others might learn from.

Yeesh, I wonder how many places there are where something like that is going on.

If I had to guess...a lot.

K-State is taking a lot of crap from the national sportswriter mediots for attempting to fire Jerome Tang for cause, but I think it's worth the attempt to save a good portion of the EIGHTEEN POINT SIX million.

Will be interesting, but I've heard the contractual "for cause" is wtf ever the AD says it is.   

I can't imagine we're in a lot better shape than KU budget wise, and that moolah would decimate the budget.  

Speculation.  We do fill the football stadium, at least.

Depends on what age you're looking at, I suppose, but I'd heard the literacy rates amongst kids in MS had dramatically turned around recently.  I found a couple of articles about it.

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/education/kids-reading-scores-have-soared-in-mississippi-miracle

https://thedailyeconomy.org/article/mississippis-literacy-miracle-how-holding-students-back-moved-a-whole-state-forward/
Yeah, "miracles" tend to be hoaxes in education.  Fraud, over-IDing SPED students who no longer count in the data, wholesale holding back of the lowest students, etc. 
It'd be great if it was true, but statistically speaking.....nuh uh.  Highly suspicious.

I'm afraid to see what they might roll out as a trophy in the upcoming Ball-Sac rivalry.

btw, the avalanche of recent college football (ie everything) posts on facebook by random-ass entities is bizarre and total.

They're all trash AI nonsense, yet on every single one, there's hundreds or thousands of comments engaging with the nonsense. 

Old people and idiots need to be taught how to spot and ignore AI.
