This 👆 I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer about these topics but reading the tweet each school is gifted $20.5 million to share, The University didn't earn it financially.. so why not give the women a cut of it? I just want to see every sport be the best they can be...

I really don’t know but when it’s university funds versus NIL seems like that’s different under the law. Men’s sports paid the way for women’s sports for years and title 9 didn’t care. You had to have the same number of scholarships. It’s why baseball had partial scholarships. Just seems logical to me that female athletes are going to not like getting nothing while football and basketball players get hundreds of thousands. I’m strictly talking about university funds not NIL. I don’t know the answer, just curious how that would play out.

It'll be interesting to see it play out. Unless new legislature is passed, it seems like there'd need to be collective bargaining for revenue sharing, and it'll be seen whether title IX holds up to being a part of employers setting salaries without the input of the student athletes.

Yeah I really don’t know how it plays out. Just came to mind as I remember back when the Title 9 stuff began most people I knew didn’t think it had a chance because the women’s sports didn’t make any money. The courts disagreed. Just thinking out loud as this could turn into a big rabbit hole. I agree it will be interesting to watch it play out. Probably be messy for a while. It’s above my pay grade. đŸ€·â€â™‚ïž

First word is best.

I don't know why we go out of our way to run off people with some connection who are willing to give info not fed through established mouthpieces.

As always you have to take it with a grain of salt. But people willing to give you a little extra behind the scenes, giving you info in complex scenarios can be wrong even when they are doing everything right. And we dump on them because it's not what we want to hear or things didn't break the way we wanted.

Others just want to argue.

If you say so. But it seems more like a nice deflection from the fact that you've completely misrepresented the exchange so far, so why not double down?

Anyway. I'll leave you to it. Admins already had to clean up you and JAX's uber-classy responses in that thread. I won't continue to contribute to them having to do it again here.

I hope you are well and have a nice day.

Objection your honor! The defense attorney is making me look like a stumbling dotard 😮

Oh you mean like this one that’s still up lol?

They deleted everything, yours included, about 3 posts after that one ^ - it’s a fitting end and summation to the thread.

Will stand as a testament, and remembrance, to the atrocities witnessed therein.

Umm, if she’s vomiting today, she has pancreatitis and you will want to take her to see a vet. If you are south of ATL, give me a call and I’ll see her.

Don’t worry. I didn’t give her the bones. I was breaking off some little bites of rib meat for her. Which is ridiculous, but we both had a great time. And thanks for the warning and offer.

January 17, 1916.............
The birth of the PGA of America
On this date in 1916, a lunch invitation in New York evolved into what's now known as the Professional Golfers Association of America....an association I'm proud to be a member of since 1999.

Rodman Wanamaker was an ardent golfer and heir to Wanamaker's, a well-known Philadelphia department store. In 1914, there were just 41 golf courses nationwide, but by 1916, the sport was growing quickly. But the majority of the clubs at that time refused to admit professionals to their clubhouses.

But Wanamaker saw the public's growing enthusiasm for golf as the beginning of a national trend. He also saw a business opportunity: more golfers means more equipment, and if they bought that equipment at Wanamaker's, even better.

So what if there was a national organization of golf professionals, who could help promote interest in the game and grow the sport? On Jan. 17, 1916, Wanamaker invited a group of New York-area golf professionals, accompanied by several prominent amateur golfers, to a luncheon in the ninth-floor restaurant of the Wanamaker Store in New York City.

The minutes of that first informal gathering still exist in hand-written form. When that first meeting concluded, James Hepburn, a former British PGA secretary, had been named to chair a seven-member organizing committee. James Hepburn, John (Jack) Hobens, Jack Mackie, James Maiden, Gilbert Nicholls, Herbert Strong and Robert White were chosen to pursue the matter further, and an organization of American golf professionals took its first step toward becoming a reality.

Three months later, on April 10, 35 charter members -- including Walter Hagen -- met again to officially apply for membership into the fledgling PGA of America. Wanamaker donated $2,500 and a trophy toward the first PGA Championship, which was held later that fall at Siwanoy Country Club in Bronxville, N.Y.

The Association's first order of business was to establish the organization's objectives. The members agreed to the following:

  • Promote interest in the game of golf.
  • Elevate the standards of the golf professional's vocation.
  • Protect the mutual interest of its members.
  • Hold meetings and tournaments for the benefit of members.
  • Assist deserving unemployed members to obtain positions.
  • Establish a benevolent relief fund for deserving members.
  • Accomplish any other objective, which may be determined by the Association from time to time.
A century later, the more than 28,000 members of the PGA of America continue to dedicate themselves to the same goals set forth by Wanamaker in that initial meeting -- to promote and grow the game of golf.

I wouldn’t judge him about the pension. That’s not his call, it was his mom doing what every single parent would have done to set up their child(ren) for success.

Wouldn't either.

Many rich parents are now donating their wealth, instead of feeding the generational wealth trustfund babies (we're talking billionaires).

But his pension is hardly crazy. 50% was only something like 80 or 90k iirc from the prior post. Not a ton to live off and will be worth ~45k in today's dollars in just 20 years and just 20k by the time he's well into retirement. He's also not putting $$ into SS if he doesn't work, so that's all he would have.

He'll definitely have to keep working imo unless he's shortsighted (though who knows how much he straight up inherited from Pat's regular assets).

Yeah as long as he stays away from coaching - bc he should never be allowed to do that again - then by all means he should go live his life as he sees fit.

What exactly did he do? I only vaguely remember the issue. Did he just hook up with an adult player (consensually) or was he accused of assault or underage stuff?

He was coaching a college team. Had an affair with one of his players. Consensual for sure but incredibly dumb and poor judgment.
