this is also somewhat reminiscent of how Philadelphians use "go birds" in basically any context

This is as clearly as I've seen this spelled out. If the PCSA smelled off to you but you didn't know quite why, this interview offers very lucid proof that you were correct. defector.com/an-antitrust...

What you're saying is, the antitrust exemptions in the NBA, MLB, NFL, etc. are allowed as a result of the collective bargaining process, whereas the PCSA seeks a similar exemption by circumventing the collective bargaining process. Is that correct?

Generally, yes. When we talk specifically about labor markets, all of the restraints that we see in labor markets of our professional sports leagues—the salary cap, the draft, the limits on player movement, every single one of them—to the extent that they're exempt from antitrust law, are the products of good-faith collective bargaining between the management group and the players group, and exist in a collective bargaining agreement that was reached through good-faith bargaining.

What is being proposed with the Protect College Sports Act is to establish the exact same types of labor restraints, specifically a salary cap, specifically a number of years of eligibility to compete in college sports, and specifically limits on transfers, but not to do so in collective bargaining where there are representatives in the room, on behalf of employer and employee, but rather through a legislative bill, which seems to be negotiated by a number of different constituent groups, none of which is a representative of the players in any meaningful sense, and absolutely none of which have been chosen and selected by the players as a union representative.

having done public service after college (AmeriCorps) we need to fix the public service model to make it sustainable to do without having family resources to lean on before we require it of everyone I made $900/mo when I served. That only even kind of worked for me because I lived with my parents.

I guess? Arizona state being in this list is a very “one of these things is not like the others” moment

38-36? 38-36. That 74-point third set — the longest in the Dan Fisher era — will hang in the memory bank for a while.

Olivia Babcock became Pitt's career kills leader, but the Panthers couldn't overcome a wild third set to beat SMU.

The turnpike is a whole other thing; you pay gas taxes on the turnpike, too Also the facts that the turnpike commission is independent of penndot and that turnpike toll revenues are being used to pay for things like state police overtime grind my gears

If I never have to hear about how their one player can clear 11 feet because she’s really tall and has a really high vertical again it will be too soon

Right, it’d be reasonable to assume it would (broadly) just come out in the wash

particularly because it would almost certainly have to be paid in a lump at inspection because there’s no other way to track or enforce it

I’m of the view that we should start doing Vehicle Miles Traveled with higher rates for heavier vehicles because the gas tax is going to be a diminishing source of revenue anyway because of EVs, which also do more damage to roads because they’re so heavy

Hooooooly shit was that an unconvincing and irrelevant answer on the death penalty from Garrity, especially when she implied that murderers would just get released en masse (Abolish the death penalty)

Garrity’s answer on voter fraud is hot garbage, as I knew it would be Also voter ID laws exist to bury people in paperwork and disenfranchise poor people and that’s it, good night
