Prediction: no!

@kjayhawks said in Tourney hopes: For the first time since 1947 both Kansas and Kentucky miss the sweet 16 in back to back years I understand we had struggles, lack of talent , no bench - -but got to believe also that part is that with NIL & Portal the days of Dominating power is over - -I think things are starting to spread out more Balance. – Could be wrong just seems more parity.

DK McDonald was officially announced as the new Co-DC and CB’s coach.

Yeah, its pretty delusional. Don’t try your hardest to win a championship today because you might face them again a month later in the final four and are saving stuff for that.

Running that quick gives him a good shot at going in round 6 IMO. He’s a little bigger than I thought too. I figured he’d measure 6’1 or so. 31 reps on the bench too. DEAR GOD.

Lavender is the worst!

@dylans - Thanks! I was wondering about it, too.

@drgnslayr said in Joe Dooley: @Texas-Hawk-10 I don’t like to be that pessimistic… but it is hard to deny the facts. Dooley could step in and assist in a huge way. Agree , you just never know. I myself am still under the impression/feeling when this is all said and done. Coach get’s a 1 yeat suspension / show cause and an our other friend gets let go/fired Dooley steps in for Coach for the yr, however IF and again I said IF this does happen I think Coach says screw it and walks, saying he has had enough of the bull shit from NCAA

@Kcmatt7 True that.

According to ESPN, the betting line has flipped to KU being favored by 1.5 points now.

Today remy told self he feels better but he’s not playing this weekend. Covid also scares me too, almost as much as an injury.

@approxinfinity And we are supposed to be respectful when the first post is itself disrespectful, and the poster admits he is trolling?

@Crimsonorblue22 said in KS LEG: @benshawks08 one sick dude! Literally. He has serious mental health issues and hasn’t been taking his meds. His condition has sadly been deteriorating for some time.

@FarmerJayhawk said in I hate Ted Cruz: Would be newsier if anyone liked the guy tbh The Onion could make a nice story about this, if they haven’t yet. “Man Admires Senator Cruz, Cites Ted’s Willingness to Go the Extra Mile”

@benshawks08

@mayjay Black people certainly are not a monolith who all have the same desires and beliefs so yeah simple solutions will not work. My complaint is if everyone thinks like the appraiser in the article that well it’s not really our problem, nothing is going to change. It’s going to take all of us. To me at this point, if you aren’t thinking about how your industry is contributing to systemic racial inequity and trying to actively promote equity, than what are you doing? As you and @FarmerJayhawk illustrate, the issue is so vast and multifaceted it’s impossible for one organization to solve on their own. To promote a more equitable society takes a MASSIVE collaboration between government, community, and industry. If a person in a leadership role can look at those massive disparities and think, meh, not my problem, than I don’t have much use for them honestly. Just get out of the way and let someone who cares lead. I get that it’s hard to think about because of all the variable you rightly raise but to refuse to address it is in my opinion immoral.

@benshawks08 that was powerful! I love the pics of him w/Obama.

Your CEO scenario is an argument for corporate inside information to be disclosed more publicly and sooner than it is now so all shareholders have equal opportunity to make decisions. The idea that a CEO selling their shares gives everyone information doesn’t really hold water since there is a lag in the reporting and anyone seeing the report has no idea why the CEO sold a bunch (college tuition due?). It is highly inefficient economically to depend on shareholders guessing about insider trading as a means of detecting crucial corporate info. When I was at the CFTC, we often worked with the SEC on these things. Reporting disclosures sometimes alerted our regulators to the need for an investigation. But even with govt investigative power it took a long time to determine why a transaction occurred. Not much use to investors because a sale, or buy, could even be planned far in advance under a contract, ot triggered by economic indicators. You are correct: insider trading is perfectly legal provided it is done properly. We want corporations to be run by people who have a stake. But the rules against using inside information are designed to avoid letting the insiders be the first in line which leads to distrust of market pricing. As to all public officials, I would prohibit all market activity except for blind investments in mutual funds. These trades were legal until 2014. One of these guys was one of the 2 senators who voted against the law then. But in my mind, this may not even count as inside info. There were many sources telling us that this was going to spread, and anyone with an ounce of realism knew the markets would tank. The fact that they got a secret briefing sure didn’t seem to motivate any pushback against the Admin’s rosy posturing. Nice discussion, by the way. Reminds me of dinner discussions on theoretical stuff that would go on for hours in Law School. Afterthought: If trading on insider information is victimless, then how far would that extend? Let’s say the CEO, the board, all the officers, and all their relatives own half the shares, and by dumping in concert take virtually all the equity out within a couple of minutes and leave the stock in a company frozen by the NYSE–no victims among the remaining 50% of shareholders?
