When things like this happen, you just play the game behind closed doors and refund the fans. Or you can refund the fans, but have the game open the next day for free. But BYO Food and Drink.
I’m legitimately stunned how many people think it’s easier/makes more sense to move an entire gameday operation and shift 90,000 fans plans over a day in less than 24 hours notice than just to simply have a team fly out of a different airport than normal or drive 8 hours
It’s twilight zone levels of insane happening on the internet right now

So today I ran a 10k. 51:30 chip time. Strava time of 51:36, or is that a Garmin time? Anyways. Pretty happy about it. Fastest 10k in awhile, last year at Thanksgiving I ran 1:04 and then in February I ran 59:15. A lot of work has been put in.

The only team that has a welfare argument in the version of the SEC that requires air travel is the away team.

Last I checked a logger is employed by a logging company and a Soldier is employed by the US Government and can be deployed to austere environments where people are trying to kill them, a logger cannot be deployed to said austere environment.
This will probably land me tons of hate but I don't care. I'm a civilian, so I'm gonna talk about civilian things.
The fact of the matter is this: there are tons of professions which are far more dangerous than serving in the US military. Even those actually in combat.
Why should a veteran be "entitled" to anything that a logger, fisherman, or roofer isn't entitled to?
What does our country need more of at the moment? Construction workers and loggers, or killing brown kids on another continent for the benefit of Raytheon's shareholder dividend?
I have more respect for these guys than I do for most "run of the mill" servicemembers.
Some servicemembers did incredibly brave and heroic things far above comprehension. Some of them moved crates between bases "outside the wire" and never saw a single round head their way.
I worked in commercial insurance prior to this industry and saw plenty of permanently disabled and/or killed manufacturing workers over 10 years. Nobody's talking about those guys or their families being exempted from property tax or some other special entitlement.
Can we all just be honest about this?

We all know Kyler don't study.
#Vikings WR Justin Jefferson, speaking for the first time since Kirk Cousins’ return:
“It’s just kind a joy to hear him take over and be a leader in the meeting room, on the field. It’s definitely a cool little situation, for sure.”

S1s don't downgrade awards lol.
That’s his BN Commander calling BS. I remember when we got back in 04 from the IZ. We had a dude from Bravo Battery who got his leg blown off by an IED. Luckily he made it. His PL put him in for an Army Commendation Medal after we redeployed. They made me the S1. I called his dumb ass into the office after going through all the Award Recommendations. I called him on the carpet and said what the hell is going on Johnny K? Dude had his leg freaking blown off above the Knee. I told his dumb ass, you’re putting him for an ARCOM? he’s getting a Bronze Star. I’m upgrading his recommendation and downgrading yours. It’s not about medals. It’s about the men. Have a good night.

People keep talking about this as if it's something. If the PA dissolves, there is no one to bargain with and there are no longer any rights conferred to the players. MLB then can unilaterally do what it wants. The actual nuclear option is just striking.
Be prepared for the baseball lockout to move from the bargaining table to a federal courtroom. MLB is preparing for the players deploying a complex legal strategy involving dissolving the union and filing an antitrust lawsuit.

Obvious is Obvious, if you're transferring for non-academic reasons it is likely you will not graduate and if you do it will be later, much later.
Report reveals decline in graduation rates for multiple transfers.
