There absolutely is. Academia is completely fucked.

Yes, and if you fall down far enough you won't get any grants to do any research, and "forced" to go back to teaching/mentoring. Both of those things tell a lot about the state of high-level education and academia in the west.

The analytics are overblown, and coaches need to get back to the big picture. Stanford traded Hollins at the deadline for Wu, but picked up the player option on Candell for the 4th year. The performance bonus if they make the all-star team should provide enough motivation to ensure they don't get saddled with a mid-career ball hog. Team chemistry will be key, hopefully during the preseason they can get it together and not have any niggling injuries interrupt. There is concern about the defensive strategy on set plays, their specialist Franco just had their contract waived and stretched under the current contract, so the team may look to the transfer market mid season when it opens, or potentially to move up in the spring draft to fill needs. Still can't believe they traded Simpson and pay 2.7 per year for Johnson.

Universities run by MBAs and academics operating like sports franchises.Meanwhile, they're arresting students in campus for protesting genocide and fascism.

Seems legit.

yea, if you see how hard is it to get a faculty position you will see. while i was in college, i was in a TALK where the presentor said the phd that was coming to present his research was writing DOZENS of papers just to get noticed by a university for hiring. and people have been complaining how some of these papers are often low quality. its quantity of quality.
