Roughly 5/5 media reports I read back when “you” first kicked off this side thread by being the agitator to add this mention of the protests to what was originally a celebratory thread started by the OP.
Below is the first article that came up when I searched this time. the article states that some people didn’t like the disruption and some liked it. It doesn’t state how brief it was. They also added the official statement from the university that the ceremony was a success, went exactly as it should have, and our university completely supports what happened.
The mood was joyous and the ceremony unfolded successfully and was completed without interruption. Approximately 75 protesters staged a small demonstration at the beginning of the program, walking up the main aisle and chanting, before public safety personnel escorted them to the rear of the stadium, where they remained through the conclusion of the event. There were no arrests. Peaceful protests like this have taken place at U-M commencement ceremonies for decades. The university supports free speech and expression, and university leaders are pleased that today’s commencement was such a proud and triumphant moment, worthy of the achievements of our extraordinary graduates.
That’s not true. The policy says the university “supports peaceful protest” and “goal is to limit substantial disruption”. The statement repeatedly talks about supporting the right to free speech and protests. Team 101 said the “disruption” is “prohibited” which is a gross overstatement. The only thing explicitly prohibited in the statement are banners that block sight lines.
The official statement also says that the university will take action if they feel the protests are too much of a disruption. It’s not Team 101s decision to decide if the protests were a “substantial disruption”. And the university did not take further action. The protesters sat down. Apparently they were still noisy, but it was the university’s decision that the protests were within their guidelines.
It could be that you were sitting next to them and that the media that wrote what I read was sitting somewhere elsewhere in the stadium. It does appear that they met the standard of “disruption” as defined by Michigan otherwise something would’ve been done about it.
Team 101’s statement without a reference required only a 1 minute google search to find out it’s false. The statement below completely refutes just about all the comments started by 1989’s post and responses.
According to UMs statement quoted in full at the end of my post, “commencement ceremonies have been source of free expression and peaceful protest for decades and will likely to continue to be”.
The student’s protest also, according to multiple sources, was “brief” and peaceful, they sat back down, and they were not escorted out by staffers.
Campus safety and demonstrations
Every year, hundreds of university faculty and staff work hard to make commencement a wonderful experience for graduates and their families.
Commencement ceremonies have been the site of free expression and peaceful protest for decades and will likely continue to be. The University of Michigan does not attempt to prevent peaceful protests or other speech protected under the First Amendment. Many ceremonies will have a designated area for protests outside the venue.
Our goal is to limit substantial disruption, ensure safety, and support a successful and celebratory event worthy of the achievements of our extraordinary graduates.
Commencement for schools, colleges, departments, and cultural celebrations will include:
Security screening
Required ticket or registration at the vast majority of events
Prohibition of banners, flags and anything that obstructs sightlines
Staffers who will respond to disruptions, beginning with warnings and requests to respect the importance of the celebrations for our graduates and their families
Please remember: U-M is committed to free speech and freedom of expression. Deans and directors will generally be patient with lawful disruptions. If protests significantly impede the program, leadership will take steps to de-escalate and address the interruption.
Everything I’ve read says that universities are strictly screening those that enter these graduations so you can be assured there are no outside protesters, and certainly no paid protesters.
Because your statement about a 2 hour interruption appears to a complete fabrication by someone.
All reports are that it was a “brief interruption”. Videos show a fairly respectable protest by students of many cultures, taking place mostly during the speech by the Secretary of the Navy who actually added to his speech that those ROTC grads will protecting the right to free speech that we have in america. Even he supported the protest. How you can say it was a 2 hour interruption vs the brief interruption I’ve read and heard about is troubling.
Reports also say that they sat back down after the Secretary of the navy speech when it was time for other speakers to speak.
This should be the case, that chanting USA is support for the right to free speech and the right to protest and not opposition. So many countries with billions of citizens, around the world don’t allow that and protestors are jailed and murdered.
But when watching the video at the theater school they seemed angry about the protests. So chanting USA was very odd. It could have been either support or against but it’s hard to tell for sure. It is a theatre school. And I understand that we don’t want our kids graduations to be ruined. But chanting USA, seamingly in opposition to signs that say end UM’s funding of genocide would be strange.
When our kids were applying i went to a presentation from an admissions advisor that told me this and it worked out to be true. A private school with an $80K annual cost can end up being cheeper than a state school. If Fasfa and CSS at those schools said parents need to only contribute $10K per year for example, some of these elite schools with huge endowments will make up the difference. The rest of the schools, including state schools, won’t and cant.
If it’s Stanford, as an example, and the parents cant afford it according to FASFA and CSS, there is no need to worry. Stanford makes up the difference. So do the Ivys and USC. Some services track which schools make up the full difference. It’s a high probability bet if they don’t tell you the aid. If you lose the bet, very unlikely at these schools, they can’t make you go.
I wouldn’t apply “early admit” to a private school that doesn’t pay the full difference since you wouldn’t know what the aid package was.
At the other extreme, I recall an aid letter for one of my kids (not an elite school with a huge endowment) that said congratulations on $40k in aid award. The fine print said the aid was all loans and there was still another $20K owed. What a joke. Oregon, out of state for us, also offered “fake aid” that didn’t make a dent in ridiculous out of state costs for an education that really wasn’t going to be worth it.
I don’t know if you can do more than one early admit.
Early admission was always a no brainer for getting in. And if you get into an Ivy+ via early admission (and a few other schools) you don’t have to worry about financial aid. Those schools will cover any shortfall based on Fasfa and CSS profile. But the increase in applications makes getting in very difficult.
All colleges are way too expensive these days. There are few strategies that make sense.
1) early admission at a university that pays for any shortfall
2) good state school with in state tuition
3) 2 years of community college with preferential transfer admissions to an elite school
Yes thanks, great explanation. I wasn’t familiar with the NCAA 40/60/80% progress rules.
And since he’s been in school 4 years and has said he wouldn’t graduate until end of 24 or in 25, he has a lot of credits left and would need a school to accept all his credits.
I see, so planning to graduate in 6 years even if you use up your 4 years of eligibility in 5 years and still actually want to graduate in 6 years, violates the NCAA policy of not being on track.
As a follow up question, previous comments said that transfers to Michigan need two years of Michigan credits to get a Michigan degree. And most alums agree with that. However, couldn’t he have theoretically transferred (assuming his grades were in good order), played for a year, used up a scholarship and final year of eligibility, and then still spend another year at Michigan as a student to graduate? How is that not an acceptable academic transfer?
Clearly in his case he would leave for the NBA and not get a degree.
I grew up in the Detroit area and live in the SF bay area.
I would add north of San Francisco to your list. There are some more affordable areas and great weather. The further north you go the cheeper in gets. Coastal weather always has the least extremes. Much of California is going to be expensive for you but there are options. Stay away from inland CA, it is too damn hot and it’s going to get hotter. Palm Springs sounds too hot.
I’d also move to Denver (or other smaller cities in CO), Salt Lake City, and Ann Arbor (not Detroit). Ann Arbor is on so many lists as the best small town and it is a special place for all of us. I know a young couple that moved from here to AA and are really happy.
I’ve heard good things about Boise.
Minneapolis gets super hot and super cold. Rochester and Buffalo do as well. I was recruited to northern NY many years ago. It was really backward, especially compared to where you are now. I once considered Burlington VT. Great town. It’s just too damn cold in the winter.
I’d much rather have the climate in Portland or Seattle than the snow and cold (and summer heat and humidity) in many of the cities you mentioned in NY, WI, and MN.
I loved Philadelphia, but not some of the suburbs.
What is great is to be able to root for a team with players that develop over time. One and done wasn’t fun at all. But now we have the same thing with One and Transfer.
The Federal Courts change their minds. They recently reversed other rules. Applying your logic, we should go back and prosecute everyone who broke state laws that were on the books but blocked for the last 50 years. I don’t think so.
I didn’t say that. Players should get paid out of revenue. But those old rules, before all the TV money, were an attempt for fairness between schools during a time when college expenses and a degree were meaningful. And that system was sustainable for 50+ years until cable TV became common and TV money grew out of control.
Just because things change doesn’t mean appropriate at a certain time in history. All kinds of laws have to change as we progress and technology changes.
Now, players should get paid out of the revenue instead of just earning NIL. And there should be something equivalent to salary caps for fairness. The current out of control state of affairs using NIL from collectives which exploit loopholes to buy players with rich football obsessed alumni at the expense of other schools is unsustainable. Just take a scan of all the coaches leaving, including Harbaugh, who agree the current system is unsustainable. Are you going to disagree with them?
The rules were to create a fair playing field and eliminate impermissible benefits. There is nothing morally bankrupt about that. As some schools got better at hiding stuff the NCAA created rules to give it more power to find and root it out. It got to the point of too much overreach and an abuse of power. The pendulum swung in the wrong direction too far because schools like USC and the SEC tried to get around the rules. The old strict rules kept it more simple to administrate but it was still impossible.
Now we have a new situation where overly litigious schools and state governments that like an unfair playing field for their teams, and it’s become impossible to administer any rules for fairness. Having athletes transfer schools every year based on NIL inducements may be legal according to the constitution but it is not sustainable.
And should TatGate’s vacated wins be reinstated? Tressel honored? What’s good for Reggie is good for Ohio.
I don’t agree with this. I’m tired of seeing media pressure being used against institutions to force them to make stupid one off decisions. Wouldn’t a Michigan fan agree after last year?
But if you support Reggie, then trading signatures for tats was far less than what Reggie did.
There are a lot of lesser scandals than Reggie Bush’s payments. They were all at a time when the rules were different. But those those were the rules. let’s not waste our time rewriting all the record books on trivial stuff.
When you select a photo and take the next step it doesn’t insert the url file name in the code. It should be an easy fix if they just take a look at it
I read elsewhere that Wolf is really 6’10” and a better fit at the 4, except here on MGoBlog. I have no idea either way but it’s odd MGoBlog doesn’t mention his size and says he’s not at all a 4.
This was an image i had uploaded to mgoblog a few days ago for the Phoenix Coyote thread.
I took the code that Blue@lsu shared with me and first removed and tested what looked like extra code. Then i took the remaining code and just replaced the source url from giphy with the source url for my photo which I had uploaded using the MgoBlog file manager. You can find the url for the uploaded photo when you click the photo in the file manager.
After I was done, the code for this photo ended up as:
I could play around with or maybe remove the height and weight to make it fit better Not sure the other stuff is needed ether.
It wasn’t easy doing it on my iphone. I’ve never coded html.
Edit:
Anyone wanting to post a photo should be able to replace the url part of the following with the url for their photo. And if they upload their photo to MgoBlog I’ve provided instructions for finding that url.
The NCAA demanded years of Harbaugh’s personal texts and Mars rightly told them that was outrageous under any law. That’s not Harbaugh leveling up. That’s an NCAA continuing to act as though it has the unilateral power of Joffrey Baratheon.
Mars says he filed a long brief with the NCAA on behalf of Harbaugh and has been ghosted ever since. The NCAA can’t come up with any reasonable justification for their behavior in response so they just move forward with their Kangaroo Court.
The NCAA threatened Mars and Michigan because they didn’t like him publicly pointing out their ridiculous behavior.
Conner was clearly at Central and clearly freelancing (the dude was hard up for money and constantly trying to find ways to make more by repairing vacuum cleaners and buying prairie land in Colorado) at Central yet people want still suggest otherwise.
And finally the #1 insane thing, Nittany Fan suggesting the letter mentioned by Mars was a fabrication.
Mars said he filled a long brief with the NCAA on behalf of Harbaugh and they NEVER responded.
Mars also said one of the NCAAs demands was for years of Harbaugh’s personal texts. Mars rightly advised his client he didn’t need to respond. Mars had compared the demand to what a DA office or law enforcement can do under the law and called the NCAA’s demand outrageous.
Mars’ statement about hearing the bus tires go thud thud thud (or something like that) was him saying that Warde basically backed the bus up and drove it over Harbaugh in order to settle with the NCAA.
In other words, Burgergate is over for Mars and Harbaugh. The COI, and it’s leader who works for USC and who has publicly stated he’s still upset at what the NCAA did to USC, can make whatever threats and public announcements they want but Harbaugh doesn’t and shouldn’t care.

What NIL has become [creating collectives that get around the intended rules and pressure fans to make donations that can be used to retain current players (ok) and as recruitment pay for play (which was against the rules but is done by a fast growing number of schools)] has all kinds of problems.
According to Greg Roman the decision to take the Chargers job was after they realized they could live in a RV by the beach.
“Here’s the story,” Roman said. “Jim and I started talking, and I said, ‘You take that Chargers job, man, and I found this RV place right on the beach.’ He goes, ‘Really? Jim Rockford. You’re Jim Rockford. I want to be Jim Rockford. We’re doing this thing.’”
When Harbaugh pulled up stakes and headed for his new house, he gave Roman a stack of Rockford DVDs for film study.

For skill players, you should pick a lot of Ohio guys. Just don’t bet on them to win any championships as a team.

What is it they say about usernames? Maybe we should come up with a new one for you.
For anyone coming from MSU at this point we need to pull out the tunnel Zapruder film and identify them

Thanks internet guy. “He can’t defend at the 4” sounds like the right answer.
So now if he is ranked higher in the portal than Vlad and they both play the 5, why is it the assumption that Vlad would start?
Valid question, I’d need to google dig it back out.
Edit: 247 says it may be embellished. Somewhere else I saw 6’ 10”
I hope they make the Olympic team

He said everyone should share the revenue with the players because that’s who people come to see.
It’s an interesting comparison.
Pro sports teams and broadcasters make millions. The same for college.
Pro athletes get paid for endorsements. The same for college.
Pro fans pay for tickets and buy branded material to support their team. Same for college.
Pro athletes negotiate salaries and share in the millions of profits. None for college
Pro athletes can have a union and pensions. None for college
Pro teams have salary caps and drafts for fairness. None for college
College fans get pressured for donations so their team can compete because there are no parity or fairness rules currently enforced. None for pro.
College fans and athletes are still being screwed.
Edit: I almost forgot. Pro teams are run by machiavellian narcissistic owners. Same for college conference commissioners.
He pretty clearly implies they should be paid out of all the revenues generated by the networks, conferences, and schools.
Also, NIL was litigated to allow athletes to get paid for endorsements. That alone made sense. Denard should get paid for being on the cover of EA Sports.
What NIL has become [creating collectives that get around the intended rules and pressure fans to make donations that can be used to retain current players (ok) and as recruitment pay for play (which was against the rules but is done by a fast growing number of schools)] has all kinds of problems.
