Very sad. I wonder how San Francisco dropped its homicide rates so substantially... the veteran prosecutors they inherited from Oakland help?

How realistic is $260 million in facilities upgrades, NIL, and we still minimally market to our 40,000 non-commuter students?

We already have loads of applicants and fundraising 100x what was done in 1980.

Add the tower, make upgrades where feasible, but let college big-time football shake out. Really, are you ready to pay a HC $10 million, then $20 million, a QB millions, and add more debt? All to play Wyoming or Fresno State in football?

Netherlands faced unprecedented New Year's Eve violence.

UCLA a long shot, USC impossible.

The NCAA is now letting former NBA players back in the league.

Here's another one to consider. AI: " "The Man Who Knew" is a significant 2002 PBS Frontline documentary focusing on FBI counterterrorism agent John P. O'Neill, who relentlessly warned about Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden but was often ignored, and tragically died at the World Trade Center on 9/11, having later become its security director."

I'm with you. We're a yearly contender, still feature true student athletes, and the FCS playoffs seem exciting. Ivys, Villanova, the Redbirds... and yes, we can provide more resources at the FCS level.

The FBS is all over the place, constant turnover, $$$, drama, HCs with $20-million, $30-million contracts. ICA departments massively in the hole (like Cal). We can add spice in our pre-season games. Who knows what happens in 3-5 years. Cross country travel already an issue for some.

Which documentary film are you referring to?

"France has cancelled New Year’s Eve celebrations.

"Germany has cancelled New Year’s Eve celebrations.

"Australia has cancelled New Year’s Eve celebrations.

"We don’t need to live like this."

Go Ags!

A 47-year-old UK blogger who seems rather tame is arrested in the middle of the night because he posted a tweet which said "F--k Hamas". He was only told he was being arrested for something he put on the Internet.

AI: "Legal Basis: Arrests occur under laws like Section 127 of the Communications Act 2003 for sending "grossly offensive" or "menacing" messages."

Roughly 12,000 people have been arrested this year (30 people per day) while violent child predators are set free. This has had a chilling affect on free speech.

Warning: The UK no longer recognizes the USA right of free speech, so US citizens can be arrested inside the UK for posts made earlier in America (before traveling to Britain).
