I know football coaches salaries are largely from athletic foundation funds. But it's ridiculous for a public institution being on the line for millions if they fire a coach who was sucking ass. The greed in college sports has destroyed it and has made it unwatchable

The Rapture Was Predicted to Happen Today. TikTok Has Some Advice.
There are thousands of videos to help prepare those who may or may not ascend into the heavens on Tuesday.
