From my new column on college, football, and college football
… white coeds and black football stars are a combination that leads to a lot of rape charges. The U. of Missouri football program, for instance, is notorious for assigning jock-crazy coeds as tutors. The female prosecutor in Missouri star running back Derrick Washington’s sexual assault trial observed:
Too many tutors were having sex with the athletes.… The university has created this environment. When you put a room of athletes together with attractive girls, some of whom like to sleep with athletes, you are just asking for trouble. It creates a sexually charged environment, and athletes get an opinion of girls that is skewed…

Ignorant comment
Hey Steve another faux hate crime occurred in The U. Of Missouri tonight. Black students there claim they saw the KKK in pickup trucks terrorizing Black bodies on campus. They also claim the KKK was throwing bricks at dorm rooms.
Yet how convenient that there are no pictures or videos of the KKK terrorizing the campus. Especially since every college student Millennial owns a smartphone that has a camera.
isn’t it just football culture + money? kinda hard if you want changes.
I frankly think a lot football coaches especially in college are idiots, with IQs of 97-102 thereabouts. One spoke at my school for graduation and tried to express himself in sentences. If you do nothing but x’s and o’s from the time your ten to the time your forty forty five when you finally get to call plays, well, you look like you know what you’re doing perfectly well if you stand on the sideline and gesture intently sometimes. The smart guys are the ones with the eagle eye view of the game keeping coach ceaselessly posted, my suspicion is. How many coaches are on an NFL coaching staff these days? What like twenty? thirty? The r and r issue shall we say, I don’t think its testosterone I think its intelligence. The rule should be, your player gets convicted you get fired. Because wtf would happen if the ceo is constantly defending his day traders who probably are rapists? Well that CEO would probably have to be scumbag. USA is an idiocracy, and boneheads act like cavemen. The news, every day it looks more like parody, redundant dumb shit, the dumbest people with microphones, immature. Watch firing line on amazon. Was Buckley that special or we this dumb? Not that I won’t always loves sports…
“white coeds and black football stars are a combination that leads to a lot of rape charges”
If a White coed gets impregnated by a Black football player but she decides to abort the Black baby, is she considered a KKK White supremacist? After all her White privilege murdered a Black body just like Officer Darren Wilson did.
It was good of you, Mr iSteve, to give a few words of explanation for furriners about American football. A little explanation might also have been helpful on the meaning of the odd American expression “roommates”.
“…and athletes get an opinion of girls that is skewed…”
I doubt it.
Too many tutors were having sex with the athletes
This expression always cracks me up. What is the correct number of tutors having sex with athletes?
From the article:
I’m now wondering if part of the hidden payoff is the opportunity to have sex with college girls, some of whom just love tutoring athletes…

There is no rape.
White girls have always fantasizes about Black Men and the ultimate pleasure.
It makes me sick when these females cry rape when they don’t get the relationship they want (see Jamies Winston) and use societal racism to further the claim
Like you, I’m judging the Missouri “thing” is symptomatic of some internal power struggle.
FWIW-college professors can and do enlist students to front for their grievances over . . . everything. It’s a seedy, cowardly practice because of the power disparity and because students’ interests aren’t necessarily aligned with the faculty’s. Also, staffers are often extended tuition remission to take courses at the very institution where they work as secretaries, landscapers, and what-not. They, too, are vulnerable to being co-opted by faculty.
University administrators and faculty will lie. In one case at our local Podunk Tech, an HR guy repeatedly and improperly challenged the unemployment comp applications of 12-month staffers who’d been laid off for brief periods in an effort to maneuver them into unknowingly accepting 9-month status. The HR guy repeatedly lied under oath at unemployment comp hearings. He was finally dismissed, and, under heavy pressure from the state attorney general, HR was made to report to the university’s legal counsel instead of the admin VP.
Again, I’m not sure about the Missouri situation, but it’s a fair guess admin or faculty race lobbyists are at work, perhaps in the service of a larger agenda.
“While satirists have long prophesied that sports teams would soon be named after corporations rather than places, examples, such as the Nippon Ham-Fighters, remain strikingly rare.”
When George Halas bought the Chicago Bears they were known as the Decatur Staleys, after the A. E. Staley food starch company. I guess this was a place and a company name though.
Your line about college football contracting is probably right in the long run, but it has been the opposite for the past three decades. In the 80’s there were maybe 85 teams playing in what was called 1-A. Now you have 127 with one school in the process of joining the club.
Realistically, the number of teams in the FBS is not the number of teams in the top tier. The Power Five conferences consume 90% of the revenue and dominate fan interest. Those conferences have 64 teams. Throw in a few independents like Notre Dame and BYU. Those five conferences are slowing breaking away from the rest. They now have power to govern themselves in most matters. In time, they will probably split off the the NCAA entirely.
Interesting to me is the NFL is hailed as the national sport, but take a look at youth participation and you see big problems down the road. The NFL already has a quarterback problem. The concussion problem is drying up the youth leagues in many areas.
“Football teams act out a very literal metaphor of military conquest, struggling to conquer terrain from each other with the percentage of the 100-yard field left to subjugate immediately calculable.”
You would think football would be more popular in the world of Islam. At the very least teams in this country could adobt Islamic monikers. The Saracens maybe? Any other suggestions?

Most people I find in day to day life are oblivious to all this stuff. Intentionally so.
No surprise whatsoever. I know both U of Florida and FSU do much the same during recruitment. They ply attractive ‘jock-crazy coeds’ on potential players, with the implication that sex with them could well be a ‘fringe benefit’ to players that sign to them.
Obviously no sex (during recruitment) occurs, and in fact is officially forbidden, because the NCAA could well interpret sex acts as a form of bribe.
Those are the only two schools I can say for certain that practice occurs, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s common with most schools with major football and basketball programs.
For example if Steve were to visit USC or UCLA during recruitment he’d probably see the same thing being done.

Italians of Siena have interesting take on rooting for the home team. In the Palio of Siena, jockeys are out-towners who are openly bribed and called assasins, horses are given randomly. But never have I seen such athmosphere and rooting for the home neighborhood to win or the enemy to lose.
Check the new documentary Palio by Cosima Spender. It’s just out on itunes. Fascinating horse race dating back to medieval times.
Lol, try six in some Romanian student dorms. And, most often, they switch you around each year based on grades and dorm desirability (amenities, distance from Uni, overall quality, state of repairs), so you are likely to end up with a new pack of people each year, between 18 and 22. If they have gfs/bfs over on a regular basis, you have a veritable platoon of people in the same room. I have to say that it was easily one of the most pleasant periods of my life. There were just four of us, we got along well and we had some great times, with all five of my roommate groups (5 years of dorm accommodation for my edumacation). I can see how diversity would throw a wrench in the odds of that kind of proximity working out well. Just like in prison.

A few years ago my son got into a brand new dorm that seemed close to ideal.

That seems like the right combination of privacy and sociability.

Something that Black people on the internet often say is that in the 21st Century the KKK took off their white sheets and traded them in for Armani suits and briefcases to work in Wall Street, Washington D.C, and Silicon Valley and that is why Blacks have the odds stacked against them in the job market.
They are basically saying the KKK run the political and business world. The irony is that they are actually complimenting the KKK without even knowing it because they believe this group went from being low IQ inbred White trash who have sex with their family members and live in poverty to triple digit IQ people who run Fortune 500 companies and live in multi-million dollar mansions and penthouses. Talk about evolving big time and lifting yourself up from their bootstraps. The KKK is evidence that the American dream of rising up from rags to riches is alive and well.
Yeah that does sound very nice and like the ideal balance for college dorms.

So let’s get this straight… if young white coeds want to engage in miscegenation, that’s good, because it demonstrates their sexual “empowerment” and their commitment of diversity. If black male athletes think that the white girls want to sleep with them, that’s bad, because the girls might cry rape.
Yet another example of the intellectual incoherence of postmodernity and feminism. Let’s just go back to segregation by race and gender in education, and solve ALL of these problems…

Racist extremism–specifically black supremacism–masquerading as victimization is going to make any sober investigation into the Missouri “thing” tough as hell. Black supremacism is something of a real thing, and a pretty noxious real thing. The essence of the idea, as I’ve seen it in practice, is for blacks of 2015 to claim special preferences in all things because of genuine abuses visited upon most blacks of 1715.
The result of that is pure political rotgut. I know a black guy, who, with his black wife, both make about $90 thousand a year household income. That puts his household comfortably in the top quintile in my low-income area. I’ll guess that hardscrabble Euro-immigrants and Americans of 1915 would likely have expected someone in the top quintile in his city to demonstrate some qualities of literacy and civic big-mindedness. Not so with the black guy I know. I like the son-of-a-bitch, but he is completely full of the idea that he’s a victim, when the evidence is that he’s quite privileged.

With its immense local wealth to draw upon, Stanford has recently returned to the ranks of football powers. But even in Silicon Valley, college football has a blood-and-soil tie: The key donor behind Stanford football’s rise, John Arrillaga (who has given Stanford $251 million), isn’t a tech billionaire, he’s a real estate man.
All the colleges with football programs are also non profit IRS tax code 501(3)(C)’s that allows them and there donors to enjoy tremendous direct and indirect tax benefits. The sports programs especially the money sports of football & basketball not only benefit by piggy backing off the University’s non profit status but are used to help attract these donations as well.
John Arrillaga, for example has likely enjoyed three major tax benefits 1. An income tax deduction 2. He likely donated appreciated investments so he no longer has to pay capital gain taxes 3. The granddaddy of them all, it reduces his estate so upon his death, less of his estate is subject to a possible 40% haircut in estate taxes.
It almost makes the military industrial complex seem innocent.
I am no tax expert, and if somebody knows better correct me, but I always thought those "foundations" were a big tax scam. Lets say you are somebody like Bill Gates. Most of what you are worth is in stock that you really can't sell a lot of without causing a problem in the market. A large part of that money goes away to the US and state governments if you sell it to cash out. However, if you donate it to your foundation you have a huge tax write off on something you paid nothing for. You can then sell an equal amount of stock and pay no tax on it. You have almost the same amount as if you would have sold twice the amount of stock that you did. You also run the foundation primarily for the benefit of yourself and your business, something you could not do if the money just went to the government.

The sports programs especially the money sports of football & basketball not only benefit by piggy backing off the University's non profit status but are used to help attract these donations as well.
John Arrillaga, for example has likely enjoyed three major tax benefits 1. An income tax deduction 2. He likely donated appreciated investments so he no longer has to pay capital gain taxes 3. The granddaddy of them all, it reduces his estate so upon his death, less of his estate is subject to a possible 40% haircut in estate taxes.

He also gets his name plastered all over Stanford for posterity.
I am no tax expert, and if somebody knows better correct me, but I always thought those “foundations” were a big tax scam. Lets say you are somebody like Bill Gates. Most of what you are worth is in stock that you really can’t sell a lot of without causing a problem in the market. A large part of that money goes away to the US and state governments if you sell it to cash out. However, if you donate it to your foundation you have a huge tax write off on something you paid nothing for. You can then sell an equal amount of stock and pay no tax on it. You have almost the same amount as if you would have sold twice the amount of stock that you did. You also run the foundation primarily for the benefit of yourself and your business, something you could not do if the money just went to the government.
