I like seeing chris getting points. I thought state didn’t play as hard as they can in this game it kind of worries me the way they have started slow in these first few games.

It isn’t going to translate into a better downtown. If the city were to use these properties as a way to attract businesses to the downtown district it could have a snow ball effect.They can keep recent grads and attract young professionals, recent grads/YP will want housing near their job, thus a demand for this kind of housing. Also if there are more people working in and around downtown it will help the various struggling businesses attract a new customer base on top of the students. Businesses don’t leave in the summer either so it can help foster year round business. This stuff isn’t rocket science.

That is an old myth that unintelligent people like to say to make them sound intelligent.

Nobody wants to see affirmative action for basketball, we like our #2 ranked team just the way it is. But so many people see affirmative action at the universities as the only step to educating a class of people. Maybe the real problem is that people who are self-educated face extreme employment discrimination, they are forced to basically bribe off a university with loads of tuition and eventually a degree to even be considered for good paying jobs. You’re sneering at people by basically calling them too stupid to stand on their own two feet as an individual. You’re forcing them to be socialistically identified by their race rather than their innately individual human quality that knows no skin color. Word to the wise, Abraham Lincoln was self-educated on virtually all branches of knowledge.

I agree, those who get in on sports scholarships are for the most part academically worthless to the institution, white and black alike. I could make an equally racist claim that Northern Europeans are better at academics than the native Africans and their descendants because the harsh winter climate of Northern Europe necessitated larger brains for the planning of agriculture, food storage, home winterization, etc. The current practice of separating th genders into sports could be seen as affirmative action. People would fear that a co-ed basketball team would be dominated by men, so we separate the teams (among other concerns like sexual harassment). Would it not be schematically equivalent to have separate but equal sports teams for different races if we can do it for gender?
