IVYs looking to ban tackling in practice.

Hey, RP! What is your annual income? Care to share? As a Dartmouth/Stanford product, I assume it's pretty good. Right?

 

[Umista]

PR, I am not able to ans. your question about UMs rich or income related data.

Many of my friends ended up as airline pilots, stock brokers, Profs and other occupations that gave them a decent living. Others I know of had or started companies and I would assume they made quite a chunk of dough. D. Washington I knew and I doubt he remembers my name. One of my daughters was chummy with one or both of his kids, they attended UM together.

The sad part is a few of the UM grads I know are living poor. One I used to hire to help him out but booze and women took a chunk out of him. I try to buy him a Griz ticket to a football game every season. At the end of the day most of the UM students I lost track of as each of us went our own way.

Safety first???

Yes. Protecting the brains of our future leaders....

Oh, our future leaders are going to have brains. That will be a refreshing and much needed improvement over the ones we have now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :x :x

In 1951, Dick Kazmeier of Princeton, won the Heisman. He was a football hero of mine when I was in HS. Don't underrate Ivy athletes. Of course, college football was not as it is, now. IIRC, SEC schools were still segregated; very few black athletes in college programs. I could be corrected. Football now is a different scene: it's a high-stakes business compared to 1951. Point is, the Ivys have very good athletes, and, well, their brains must be protected, as they expect to become leaders in professions other than the pros.

Far as that goes, all brains must be protected. I remember being taught in HS football to tackle w/ your shoulder first. Use of the head in all sports, including soccer, should be outlawed.

You were in HS IN 1951??

Yep. Will see 80 in Nov.

Maybe Engstrom could get a job at Yale. Looks like he would fit right in. Check out this facts involving the Yale basketball captain's expulsion. 4th time together, left and came back the same night to stay with him, complained 1 year later, investigator believed her under preponderance standard.

"charge against Montague was filed by a Title IX official after the student reported the incident to a Title IX coordinator a year after the incident. "

"an independent investigator found that Montague and a female student had consensual sex in an earlier encounter. “The sole dispute is as to the sexual intercourse in the fourth episode,” the statement said. “She stated that she did not consent to it. He said that she did.”

"an independent investigator found that on the night in question, the female student “reached out to him” after they had parted, returned to his room, and spent the night." “We believe that it defies logic and common sense that a woman would seek to reconnect and get back into bed with a man who she says forced her to have unwanted sex just hours earlier,” the statement said."

Yale is going to get sued. Yale is lucky it isn't in MT.
