Discuss.

Is this our academic NET rating?

[Avenue Commons]

Yes, and oddly Ave Commons posted about it then, and it was thoroughly discussed.

Edit: merged for clarity.
Edit 2: Hah, you posted on page 1 of this thread too, DFW

This assumes I remember things from September. It's the week after St. Patrick's Day and the start of the tourney. I've been blacked out as often as not.

I've set a reminder to post on this again in another 6 months.

You can make a case for a profitable, non-scholarship D1 football program if you make an assumption that 25 of those players, paying on average a net tuition of $20,000, would only come to MU for football.  ($500,000 would easily cover your annual costs.)

But the question is does the MU administration even see this as worth the effort, and my guess is no.

You don't have to guess. The answer is an unequivocal NO.

Might as well wonder if we will ever be Warriors again.

Why wait so long?  It's a long offseason, let's do every 90 days!

Yes!

I'm also calendaring dates to post on 1) The Warrior nickname; 2) Marquette starting a D1 football team; and 3) An on campus basketball stadium.

This caught my eye when AC quoted it above. I think you vastly underestimate the cost of running a D1 football program. Even in the generally (completely?) non-scholarship Pioneer conference, the lowest budgets are over $1 million.

Changing of the seal might be a dark horse for future years.

How about posting a police blotter?

The olds are very, very terrified. It's approaching 50% as much crime as their day!

[4everwarriors]

In full cancel culture here. Deny the truth and shoot the messenger. Let freedom ring, aina?

It's fine when it's on topic and not randomly posted in threads with the intent of derailing the conversation.

But you knew that already.

[4everwarriors]

Good, let's set up a separate thread in the Superbar entitled "Campus Events," hey?

I created a Superbar topic so now you have a place to post how Milwaukee is burning to your heart's content.

Was out to lunch (Conejito's*) yesterday with my wife ('99) and a buddy ('95).  Dahmer came up bc of Annie Schwartz's new book.  My buddy from '95 was FFP and got dropped off on campus the day before Dahmer story broke.  His parents were driving back east and called him in a panic from Youngstown.  He's like: Mom, I'm fine.

I work at 14th & St. Paul...I work out at the Rec Plex / Rec Center daily.  I'll hit up the MU Sendiks & other spots.  We went every MU WNIT game at night and parked on campus side streets.  I have a nephew at 14th + Kilbourn, a nanny on N 13th and a neice in Wild Commons plus several friends with kids on campus.  I'm pretty tuned into MU safety day and night.  This fear mongering about MU's "current" saftey situation by alums is really sad.



* As we walked out I was car jacked, my wife was mugged and my buddy was shot and killed.  Just another day in Milwaukee

I'm glad someone is finally speaking up for the downtrodden male boomer.

I'm sorry now that Putin is on the horn accusing the west of canceling him like they canceled JK Rowling, the expression has lost any semblance of whatever meaning it might have once had in the past.

Anyone who unironically talks about "cancel culture" is lighting a neon sign that says they are a deeply unserious person. "Cancel culture" is nothing more than a confirmation bias signal.

Agree Lens,   We have a son at MU now and he has not relayed one concern.  Friends of mine from MU have also sent their kids to MU and have expressed not concerns. I graduated in 1992 and there was always "normal" city crime (in addition to Dahmer).  Was it markedly different in the 70s when others were going to school?  Paradise on earth?  Not sure I get the fear mongering either.  It's a city.
