Gallagher

I looked up Gallagher's basketball numbers and, while I knew he was very good coming out of high school and briefly considered trying to play both sports, I did not realize he had so many high D1 offers. Florida, Wake Forest, Pitt, Illinois and several others offered him scholarships to play bball.

Given our situation, wonder if he would be interested in joining the bball team when football is over? He could at the very least give us some much needed depth at the guard position.

Michigan Cheating News

Central Michigan is investigating photos that show a man resembling Michigan Wolverines staff member Connor Stalions on its sideline for the Sept. 1 opener at Michigan State.

Athletic director Amy Folan, in a statement, said the school became aware of the photos late Monday. The man resembling Stalions is dressed in Central Michigan-issued gear and standing alongside several of the team's coaches, while wearing a bench credential.

The credential reads "VB" and appears to be designated for the visiting bench area, which is different from a general sideline pass. It gives access to the designated area between the 20-yard lines, which is reserved for players, coaches, trainers and equipment staff. Schools are given a finite number of passes for each game.

"We are in the process of determining the facts surrounding them," Folan's statement reads. "As this process is ongoing, we have no further comment at this time."

Photos obtained by ESPN show a man wearing sunglasses -- during a night game -- and holding a possible play sheet. The man, who was standing near offensive line coach Tavita Thompson and CMU director of recruiting Michael McGee for much of the game, was shown by FS1 cameras several times during the game broadcast and appeared to shield his face any time a play ended near where he was standing.

How America's oligarch problem became the world's oligarch problem

Thanks Repubs.

How America's oligarch problem became the world's oligarch problem

But then in the 1970s five Republicans on the Supreme Court, for the first time in American history, began the process of legalizing political bribery, first ruling that laws limiting big money in politics were suppressing the “free speech” rights of billionaires (1976) and then extending that “right to bribe” to corporations as well (1978).

This was a huge flag for America’s oligarchs signaling that, like during Harding’s, Coolidge’s, and Hoover’s time, the GOP was again up for sale to the highest bidder. Those with money began shoveling it at politicians who’d do their bidding, and politicians with power began to get seriously rich from their association with the oligarchs.

History knows that time as the “Reagan Revolution.”

In 2010, five Republicans on the Supreme Court doubled down on their predecessor’s work, making it super easy for billionaires to give lavish gifts and support to Supreme Court justices and members of Congress. That Citizens United decision blew open the doors to oligarchy in America.

With football in the dumps and the administration looking for ways to use optics if they feel they need to keep Neal Brown again, the Big 12 Conference itself looking to capitalize on the additions which at least coming in bring more to basketball than football, the NIL and transfer portal challenges being harder on football, do you see WVU shifting more focus to be a basketball or a hybrid school? Vote and debate if you want.
