    People getting up in arms about the kids clearly haven’t been paying attention.

    How long has it been since you were in a school?

    2 years since I was last enrolled at a University, because I'm always trying to become a better, more knowledgeable human being. I'm all to familiar with the racket that is higher education. Not sure what that has to do with anything.

    You don’t see the link between gouging students and chasing money in the Big 10?

    For revenge or to reconnect?

    Depending on if you have a current Mrs., the outcome could be the same either way.

    Apparently it was because you didn’t think there was a connection. Can you start making sense?

    You must have misinterpreted me. Or vice versa, because I also don't see you making any sense.

    YEP. It's all a joke. "get an education but pay an extra mortgage for 30 years to pay us back".

    And yes I know there's programs to help/not pay for a certain amount of time. I'm on it.

    But $500 to take a class, $200 for the book x 4 is ridiculous.

    Luckily when I was in school they had Chegg. When I go back to school I'll do the same. Books for $30 lol (probably tripled now. It's been a few years)

    ...fairly confident that account has no link to BYU despite its @

    As a Beaver, they may have a point.. but what is the bar for merit to be a worthy P5 school? Athletic championships :dunno:

    And BYU has one of those in FB, Ducks not so much.

    Or are you referring to the last 30 years? Then I guess BYU, the Ducks and Beavers are all equal at the FB level.

    yeah right....if you try and make everything equal below winning a national championship, Oregon is on the same level as Wyoming

    but if you gauge more realistically, since 2000, Oregon has won 7 Pac-12 football championships; Beavers none (Ducks have won 3 Rose Bowls & 2 Fiesta Bowls; Beavers won 1 Fiesta Bowl in 2000). Oregon has won 5 Pac-12 basketball championships; Beavers none; Ducks have won 5 conference basketball tournaments; Beavers 1

    staying with the 'since-2000' gauge, Beavers have won 5 Pac-12 baseball championships; Ducks none. On the other hand, the Duck men have won 17 Pac-12 Track & Field championships, and the Duck women have won 11

    Higher education has had one of the highest inflationary increase from year to year than most industries.

    Its wild my kids and grandkids are all using Facebook and I must admit they know more about what's going on than we do and in much quicker fashion.
    Some of the stuff I hear they but on Facebook, kills me. "son picked his nose for first time today" kind of stuff. Or," look at the new car the neighbor got".
    I tell them to keep me off Facebook.

    Has a credible source released what the actual Apple TV deal was?

    I keep hearing $20 mill IF certain subscription numbers are met. It would be nice to know the terms. Apple currently has 25 million paid subscribers and 50 million people who got Apple TV free for one year for buying an Apple device.

    What would the deal be if the subscription numbers aren't met?

    How many more subscribers are needed to get financial increases?
