GW73...I understand the point that you're making, but in the NBA you have contracted players each season. They can't leave every season for another team. That way you can become a fan, knowing that a favorite player will be there the next year, and perhaps other. With the way this is turning out, you can literally have an entirely different team each year. NCAA is going to rue the day that they have made this so easy to do. And the players are going to miss one of the important lessons in sports...learning teamwork and loyalty to coach, team and school.

I can understand that the movement of coaches should allow for players to move too. And these coaches have shown very little loyalty to players, teams or schools also.

I guess my point is that the only losers in this are the fans and the school. And like Merrick said, it is taking some of the joy of the game away. And for me, it's taking a lot of the joy.

VCU out for COVAD. That's sad...they didn't even get a chance to play.

"While we are working to learn more information, we will cooperate fully with any investigation and we stand prepared to offer resources to members of our community who may be affected by this news. At this time, there are no indications that the alleged crime took place near the University.” Williams in being held in Georgia until he is extradited back to Washington D.C.Williams played in five games for the Hoyas in 2019.

Sort of kicking a dead horse, but there is an article in the New Yorker about Krug. I haven't read it all yet (but will). It's worse than I thought, and brings in another GW Professor.

"G.W. professor, H. G. Carrillo, (who) died, in April, at the age of fifty-nine, due to complications of the novel coronavirus. Carrillo...was known as a queer Cuban-American author who captured the estranged experience of the Latin American diaspora, notably in his novel “Loosing My Espanish,” from 2004. Upon reading a tribute to the author in the Washington Post, however, Carrillo’s sister and niece contacted the paper with some critical updated information: Carrillo was not born in Cuba but in the United States, Detroit to be exact. His parents were also born in Michigan, and they, like Carrillo (born Herman Glenn Carroll), were Black Americans with no Latino heritage. This was a shock to Carrillo’s husband and to the literary community, prompting conversations among Afro-Latinx writers who had counted him as one of their own."

Does GW not even check the details of their staff? A jewish woman pretending to be a black woman. A black man pretending to be a Cuban "Afro-Latin"? Really? Is anyone honest anymore?

Read the article if you want. The world is disturbing!

Does anyone know if there are any sports that makes money? I'm even thinking that basketball loses money each year. (I wrote before I read...Dr. Mike says that no sport does make money).

And if you want to save money, try getting rid of some of the nothing classes (once again, Dr. Mike says that is the intention of the school). There are (once again I haven't researched this!) probably are tons of waste in those areas. I just think that they took an axe to sports, rather than a scalpel to the whole school.

Making GW a STEM based school (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) is great, but they have a large history in Political Science and History. I'd kind of feel bad if they turned their backs on them.

GW69 - the problem that we have now is that there are those who demand that everyone agree with and accept the reality in their head...no matter if it's the truth or not. A psychotic is an ill person, and I'm willing to call them Jesus if they want me to call them Jesus. But society (as well as GW) is not only calling them Jesus, but praying to them. We can't bend to everyone's psychotic reality. The sane have to maintain reality, or we won't have a "real" reality any more.

Oh and Russian T, you are so right. Is changing the nickname of The George Washington University going to change a thing in the greater picture? Of course not. Rather than deal with the nickname, make the school better. Help the locals learn. I'll bet you that there are some DC public school kids who could use a good tudor. Some hungry who could use food. Do good, don't do BS.

For what it's worth, Kareem was great. But comparing him to MJ is like comparing a football center with a quarterback. Apples and oranges. You have to compare apples to apples, or be comparing leadership skills, or something less related to the game itself.

That said, Larry and Magic were good. MJ was GOAT.

Duh...I get it now. I forget the names of the other team members before the game even starts, but now that you mention it, I remember! That was a beautiful game. The best I've ever been at I think.

I don't subscribe to the WSJ, so I could only see some of the first paragraph, but I like that they voted on it, and won 54% of the vote. They had 46% of the current student voting base saying no. So what about the Alumni? How about the employees? You look at it and it says they are a majority, but the reality is that they probably are in the teens, if that, when all "votes" are cast.

Was there ANY doubt? Not to me.
