Hmmm, looks like Fearless is suggesting the entire B1G should be left out of a P5 breakaway.

We’ll see in baseball and softball, but if teams in neither sport make their respective College World Series, it will have been one of the rougher years in recent league history. And it will be hard not to argue that some of the struggles were self-imposed.

The SEC should have about 6 of the 8 spots in Omaha filled, if you look at the rankings today.

To back up a step, there was a reason that Rutgers got into the B1G. A lot of us here feel that it was not a good enough reason, but there was a reason.  That reason was fanbase size/local population.

Rutgers is the State University of New Jersey. Their enrollment nearly 70k with almost 50k undergrads and nearly 20k grad students.  New Jersey is the 11th most populous state with nearly 9M people and Rutgers is located in the fourth most populous metro area in the world (first in the US).

I'm not necessarily arguing here that this was a good enough reason, just pointing out that this was the main reason and it is a reasonable consideration.
Right, and if that's enough for inclusion into the mighty B1G, then how on earth is someone going to suggest they're the 65th program that should get snipped? 

Personally, I think BYU should be included and 2 from the island of misfit toys should be snipped.

I don't find it obvious
I doubt either side is trying to benefit anyone but themselves
what do you mean by the "most people"??
Are there more lower-middle class and poor people or are there more wealthy and 1%ers?  I'll give you a hint:  you don't need a calculator.

Fearless wasn't suggesting, just pasting

well, ALL politicians are much closer to wealthy and 1%ers.

no politicians are lower-middle class and/or poor
All politicians look out for their own, they don't give a damn about the lower-middle class and poor
if the Government cared even a little, your school lunches would be better

Paul Finebaum rips Nebraska football, takes jab at 'delusional' fanbase

https://247sports.com/Article/Nebraska-Huskers-football-Paul-Finebaum-takes-jab-delusional-fanbase-164675591/

“The problem with Nebraska, too, is the fan base,” Finebaum explained. “You would have heard Keith (Jackson) and Frank (Broyles) talking about how there’s nobody more loyal. That’s true. They are a loyal fan base, but they’re also a delusional fan base, guys. They still think it’s 1980. They still think it’s 1990. They still think it’s 2000.

Like with the G5 lie, we should simply end the lie of the House and stop using the word 'representative.'  They dictate more to their constituents than they listen to them.  Maybe call it the "House of Self-Interests" or the "House of Lobbyists' Bitches", something like that?

House members DO "represent" us, by definition, they may not represent what we individually would prefer of course.  Most bills these days have entirely partisan votes, on occasion 1-3 may cross the aisle.  So, as much as anything else, the simply vote in lock step with their Party.  On everything.

It's not as if lobbyists tell them how to vote,  the Party does that.  Lobbyists MAY help insert certain clauses into legislation if the Representative has enough influence.

As CD mentions, it's what the voters want.

They don't care about who their representative is, they care which party he represents. Most voters barely even know who their representative is. 

BTW it's just as true at the Senate level, it's just on a bigger scale since it's a statewide vote. They care more about the letter after the name than the candidate.

I'd have probably voted for this one:

"Life" is easier if you're a D or an R, you never have to try and decide anything.  You get spoon fed your positions and Talking Points.  And those  Other Guys are idiots.

It's akin to being a Buckeye or a wolferine.

What is a wolferine anyway?
