I know people that have stopped watching for that reason as well, but those are the same people that only watched 13 or 14 games last year instead of all 16. Viewership was eroding and there were a lot of people on the fence this year. Maybe the protests pushed them off the ledge this year, but they were already trending down anyway and probably would have stopped watching in another year or two anyway. That’s the trend the NFL has to worry about - that the protests sped up a decline already in progress.
@DanR The LSU shirt is just an LSU Dad shirt! I can’t pick up another team to cheer for. My life is complicated enough! I did enjoy going and watching Simmons, true, but not sure I’d call me a full blown fan boy!

Like i said, Sprint has a great signal around the KC Metro area since they made sure their HQ town had great signal. Other areas, like with other providers can be hit or miss. You can go to the various web sites and they have maps of their areas of coverage including the high speed and the plain one as well.
As I understand, 90% of the people are 90% of the time within 30 miles of their home, so if you have a good home signal, chances are you will be fine the great majority of the time. I travel a fair amount so I need to have decent coverage in the areas I travel more often, T-Mobile has been expanding it coverage and it is decent most everywhere I go unless I am in the middle of a lake bed in a large military reservation on the western part of the country. You have to find what works for you and where you are. YMMV.

It might not help him top go to classes but costs the school plenty if he does not. The OAD is a joke and should be eliminated. Give the players the option to go straight to the NBA and once they do that they can never come back to college and play sports, or if the go to college they need to stay 3 years before becoming eligible for the NBA. Mnay players that have left after 3 years have been able to get their degree. Aldrich being a good example and McLemore continues to take classes and hope to graduate some day; he has turned out to be a great ambassador for KU.
@dylans We DESPERATELY need the football program to turn around. But the catch 22 is that you have to put money into facilities in order for us to do that. It is what some financial wizards call an “investment.”
I like the new lockerroom. Good start. Next, maybe a paint job in Memorial? Or a remodeling of it? A bit of an eye sore. Or, perhaps, a $20m dorm with bells and whistles like the bball team got? If in fact that was the reason we were to land players and get to a 7 or 8 win team, it would literally pay for itself.
