Nah, dog, It’s an administration of rich fucks, with zero moral compass, who are playing the populist card so they and their rich fuck friends can get richer by strip mining the US.

the SEC's billionaires are poor. the lumber man at auburn is worth $1.5 bil, which leaves him eligible for medicaid compared to the big ten's billionaires. midwestern dominance forthcoming www.cbssports.com/college-foot...
The Big Ten's weaponization of clean cash -- and lots of it -- is shifting power dynamics from South to North
The Big Ten can pay players now -- guilt-free. Does it mean the end of the SEC's utter dominance?

Woah, did a bunch of out of towners move to Los Angeles with the hopes of striking it rich in the movie business and then discover that it's a cutthroat business that will play you for a sucker every time? That sounds like a great movie I wonder if someone has ever turned that theme into a film…
