You're 0-2.

Why is the sky blue?

Rayleigh Scattering

Rayleigh scattering, dispersion of electromagnetic radiation by particles that have a radius less than approximately 1/10 the wavelength of the radiation. The process has been named in honor of Lord Rayleigh, who in 1871 published a paper describing this phenomenon.

You get your choice of joke. Would you prefer:

You're Rayleigh Scattering

You're Lord Rayleigh

You're a dispersion of electromagnetic radiation by particles that have a radius less than approximately 1/10 the wavelength of the radiation

I don't think you can do wrong here, but totally your call.

I'd go for the wordy convoluted one personally but they're all pretty funny.

I want "You're a dispersion of electromagnetic radiation by particles that have a radius less than approximately 1/10 the wavelength of the radiation"

It's more mathy, which appeals to me.

That's a good reason!

[Symphony Steve]

I get the state of "student" athlete now, but the heck does one intend to get a 4 year degree off that?

That reminds me. I asked the question awhile back and some people thought it was funny, but it wasn't intended that way.

Now that we're paying players, do they have to attend class to remain eligible? Or can a non-attend clause simply be written into their 'contracts'.

The NCAA still has academic progress requirements.

 

[Symphony Steve]

The NCAA still has academic progress requirements.

Thanks. How does that work for someone who has transferred as many times as Gibson?

Plus, is failure to meet those progress requirements mean that athletes who don't meet those standards don't get their NIL $$s?

This is all so new and so seemingly random that I honestly don't know the answers to those questions.

Just to clarify, the Gibson thread is for Science and the Collins thread is for History.

So the academic progress is a pretty loose standard from what I understand, and transferring actually can help student-athletes out that aren't performing well academically (sounds like that was Quadir Copeland's story for example). I don't know if failing to meet academic standards would disqualify them from NIL.

 

[BKCuse]

We got very lucky last year to have Kyle healthy and on the field for 12 games. That doesn’t happen round here often and our new QB1 is already out with a thumb injury.
So I expect someone else to start at least a couple games for us this fall. I assumed it would be Jakari but I’d love to have a battle tested Gibson too.

 

[ImperialOrange]

I am hoping Collins is the guy for the next 3 years... but still need competition in that room to keep people working hard. Even without injury.

If Collins is THE guy he'll be in the pros before his eligibility is up and Williams has path to start.

If Collins isn't the guy Williams has a path to start.

Either way JW has every chance to start 1 or more seasons at QB for us. Not mad he's not being thrown un the deep end with our schedule this season. To an SEC transfer I'm sure it's not nearly as daunting

His field of study is "football", and he is now a student/athlete/employee. I guess just show up for practice...?

Just because Collins may be an ACC caliber starter, it does not mean that he is pro-caliber.

Of course I would like Williams to stay, but if a player, particularly a non-starter, sees greener grass elsewhere it is hard to be critical.

 

[grepal]

Would assume this means Jakahri is staying put for now. Which is great news, IMO.

Jabari will be very good for us. If he leaves I am intrigued by the Freshmen.

 

[NJCuse97]

Because I would rather not invite them in? That's what I am going with.

How do you blame a good soldier for leaving after 4 years and bring third string. Players want to play
