@Jayhawk_69 There is no bill, only the executive orders. As is his custom, President Trump is attempting to create another wide swath of executive authority by fiat rather than by making a legislative proposal to Congress. He cannot revise antitrust law by executive order, nor can he demand concessions by funding cutoffs not related to the authorizations creating those funds. He can try, but courts are curtailing his reach in doing so right and left. As with the law firms who capitulated, some schools will try to voluntarily impose these limits on their students but there is no hope that courts will not continue to find liability. An EA is no defense. More likely, schools will realize they face legal substantial liability if they comply and will sue to enjoin enforcement by DOJ. Bottom line, the president cannot compel people to break numerous laws.

Lots of speculating going on, with people thinking they can read minds. Let's all get mad and assume bad faith by a player who may well be in the midst of being far more frustrated than all of our fan-doctors.

@ROCKCHALK2025 As a judge for 19 years, I found the legal principal of requiring evidence to draw conclusions applies pretty well to analyzing everything in life. In other words, speculation alone isn't probative. But speculation can generate theories about things, but theories without evidence are pretty hollow, so best usually to wait for actual facts.

@approxinfinity HEM always wanted to get rid of Self b/c he only won 1 title and didn't keep gettng into the F4. Then HEM disappeared (during Covid I think), and Bill won a second title a couple of years later. The "What have you done for me lately?" impatience is ridiculous considering all the drastic challenges facing coaches.

@rockchalkjayhawk I would root against Duke if Ted Bundy was the opposing coach

Ted's team would just eat 'em alive.

Well, I for one am glad that so many student athletes are willing to devote another year to their educational pursuits.

Good rule of thumb: until a visit gets locked in take all interests with a grain of salt. Sorry for the mixed metaphor

I think a metaphor combining a grain of salt with your thumb is perfectly reasonable as a variation on drinking tequila shots and licking salt on your hand.

Ran 5 miles saturday on the treadmill.

Just saw this. 5 miles on a treadmill...and you find some KU games boring?

@crimsonblu22 Londoners are in the minority, thanks to their open immigration policy. (Sound familiar?)

Pretty sure London is inhabited entirely by Londoners.

@approxinfinity A special place in the darker recesses of my soul for the Slavers.

Not attending the KU game despite living in LV now. Moving was about twice the cost we expected. Easier to follow all these new Jayhawks on TV anyway!

Comparing KC's WR stats is kind of fruitless since all 3 of their lead receivers have been hurt. With Reid not scheming downfeld hardly at all since Thornton got hurt, the WRs are also limited in big gain opportunities.

@rockchalkjayhawk

In another breaking story, Generalissimo Franco is still dead.

@kjayhawks2.0 I have wondered if the need to kickoff short of the goal line might require a physical and mental adjustment that messes with the form for trying long field goals. The Rams and other teams have replaced kickers, too.

@wissox83 @kcmatt7 Looked it up. Rosario got injured in practice before the Duke game. Concussion evaluation, 14 stitches, and oral surgery. "Day to day"...but not today.

@wissox83 Lumpy?

@kjayhawks2.0 On Moore's head turn "false start": Maybe the refs figured they needed to meet our RT quota.

At least it was a whole bunch of stupid plays by a lot of guys rather than a couple by just one goat. Teamwork makes the nightmare work!

Missing 1st and 2nd string RT and 1st string (tho probably not any more) RT, and 2 of 3 top WRs, had to take its toll sometime. Plus, Sneed apparently limited. Oh well, no one wins them all...at least for the past 54 years!

Okay, Google AI says no. But close, at Texas:

"Charlie Strong (Texas, 2016): Strong's Longhorns suffered a shocking 24-21 overtime loss to Kansas on November 19, 2016. While reports immediately leaked that he would be let go, Texas officials chose to wait until after their final regular-season game against TCU a week later to officially announce his firing."
