Barstool U - By the C - Student, for the C - Student.

Introducing Taylor from UF.  Had to switch from the Noles to the Gators because the submissions dried up.  State of Florida remaining large and in charge this week with another firebomb smokeshow.

UF Social Media Degree

Is there a more useless degree than one in social media? Don’t get me wrong. Companies fucking need  to know everyone’s favorite flavor of Coolata and they’ll pay good money for someone to show them how social media works. Except the problem there’s no way you can create a program that claims to help you understand how the internet functions and possibly expect it to remain relevant. Five years ago no one would have thought there would be an app exclusively for sending pictures of your dick and that a company that lets you throw filters on your pictures would be worth $1 billion. You can’t teach classes analyzing Facebook, Youtube and Twitter and expect almost anything you learn to be valuable in the long run.

Plus chances are half of your classes are being taught by a 55 year old woman who doesn’t know how to work a computer and knows Vine as the thing that holds the grapes to make the bottle of wine she drinks every night to save her failing marriage. Poor decisions all around.

PS – And speaking of Louisville, while we’re on the subject,  what’s up with this from the football locker room going viral today?

Treating women with respect is 3 spots higher than no guns?  Like being polite and not calling a chick a bitch is more important than carrying a loaded firearm that could murder people?  Insanity!

Not sure how I haven’t heard about these guys before now but the Alabama  all male hoops dance squad is so electric I’m pretty sure my computer just short circuited.  Let me guess, kmarko you’re so gay, you like watching gay guys in tiny spandex dance around and do the gayest dance of all time, blah blah.    Well if appreciating fire dance moves and flawless choreography and off the charts team spirit makes someone gay then that’s the cross I bear.  The Prancing Elites, so hot right now, so hot.

And at the very least these guys are at least better than the Alabama State plus sized dance team The Honey Beez right?

Bloomberg- In the 2010-11 academic year, the 227 public institutions in Division 1 of the National Collegiate Athletic Association collected more than $2 billion in athletic fees from their students — or an average of more than $500 per enrollee — according to research by Jeff Smith at the University of South Carolina Upstate. These fees, which can exceed $1,000 a year, are often itemized as a “student activity” or “general” expense. That may explain why separate research, by David Ridpath of Ohio University, found that students were only dimly aware of the extent of the fees, and weren’t pleased once they found out how much they were paying. Worse yet, institutions with high proportions of poorer students carrying substantial education debt appeared to be charging the highest fees. While all students must pay the costs of maintaining athletic programs, few actually benefit from the services they subsidize. In this sense, the fees are comparable to a regressive tax — and one that is more onerous for lower-income students than for the more affluent, who are able to attend schools where athletic fees are lower.

It might be a good idea to put the “Should we pay college athletes?” argument on hold until schools are able to figure out how to run their own athletic departments without gouging their students more than they already do?

I don’t have a problem with schools subsidizing programs with tuition money, but if you’re going to take $500 from me so one member of the women’s softball team can fly out to Cincinnati for a game at least have the decency to tell me instead of framing as a “student activities fee.” I thought it was common courtesy to let someone know they’re going to get fucked. Even though I could count cut off both my hands and still be able to count how many school organized activities I probably went to during my time at college, there was always a possibility they would use my money for something that I might think about going to compared to a non-revenue sport that I probably don’t even know is recognized by the NCAA.

The problem is schools aren’t going to cut specific programs unless everyone else does and Title IX all but ensured that reason and economics no longer play a part in deciding how to manage your athletics, so I don’t see anything changing in the immediate future. They’ll justify the fees as “providing a wide array of extracurricular activities for our students” and pat themselves on the back for a job well done while they eat hearts of children they imported from Asia. Students aren’t going to make a difference because they and the school both know that if you’re dropping over a hundred thousand dollars to get a degree another $500 isn’t going to make that big of a difference. Plus the NCAA already uses 40% of the money they make from real sports to pay for championships for the fake ones so they know it’s a fucking joke but there’s no chance they’ll do anything about it either. And now that I’ve typed this all out I’ve realized there’s really no point to this blog and it’s basically a Chuck Klosterman column without the footnotes. But hey:

The fuck did I just watch? That collision made 0 sense. Was that a flop? Like the first ever baseball flop by the left fielder? I guess it just goes to show that Tyler Hansbrough was a role model for all the sports programs in Chapel Hill. Honestly, you’d think a bunch of dudes who call themselves the Tarheels could keep their feet firmly planted every once in a while.

Guess who’s back, back again. Not off a Shady album though, just a Tony Touch mixtape jumpoff.

Dallas News - Even as Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel’s recent tweet about wanting to leave College Station is widely dissected, it’s only now becoming clear just how close he came to departing the school and town before the “Johnny Football” sensation ever occurred. A&M initially suspended Manziel for the 2012 season following his arrest in College Station’s Northgate bar district last summer, a source with knowledge of the situation told SportsDay. Manziel, entering his freshman season after sitting out the 2011 season as a redshirt, would have felt it was necessary to transfer if the suspension wasn’t overturned on appeal, according to the source.

Manziel won the appeal, allowing the Heisman Trophy winning season in A&M’s 11-2 SEC debut and the rise of the Aggies to transpire.

Manziel was arrested for misdemeanors of fighting, failure to identify and possession of fake IDs around 2 a.m. on June 29, 2012. At the time, Manziel was considered a back-up quarterback to Jameill Showers, only being named the starter in August, weeks before the season opener. The details of the arrest and even Manziel’s mug shot have been public fodder for the last year. A high school teammate of Manziel’s at Kerrville Tivy called a man a racial slur, according to police reports, leading to a fight. Manziel was found with fake IDs. Coach Kevin Sumlin has said that he imposed discipline.

From a backup quarterback facing a year long suspension for fighting along with N-bomb dropping friends and a mugshot circulating the internet, to the biggest rock star in college sports.  Not a bad turnaround for Johnny Football.   From carrying Jameill Showers’ pads to beating Bama, winning the Cotton Bowl, and the Heisman trophy.  Smokebomb girlfriend, A-list celebrity friends, courtside seats at hoops games, starring in country music videos, D1 football star.  Got it all.  Which is why watching him complain on Twitter about how he can’t fucking wait to leave College Station is even more annoying.    Hey bro, look at how close you came to not having a single one of those things.  Just live it up and enjoy it and stop whining.
