Biden will win by a landslide. Said this yesterday and completely stand by it It is based on sound reasoning by highly respected US election specialist Clark Cockmeister.

There are record number of voters already. Highest turnout in a century. The understanding of Clark Cockmeister Esq is that the voters 4 years ago were very apathetic to either Clinton or Trump so many di not bother to vote.

This time they understand that by not voting they are effectively giving Trump the nod. Hence the record turn out is to vote for Biden. Trump will maintain his base support but will not have gained any new voters over the past 4 years.

Winner needs 270 seats. I predicted Biden to clear 350.

Not true, Skull. Any scholarships are guaranteed for the length of the degree irrespective of career ending injury. Colleges don't make a huge load out of sports but their billions in endowments are contributed largely by the whole alumni population - one of the successes of capitalism in the US is the habitual wealth philanthropy of the super rich - aided, as in the UK, by tax relief. That said, the 'rich' Ivy league gets richer etc.

I never gamble, but I've just done the same. You sound like you know what you're doing.

"Athletic scholarships can be guaranteed for four years, but it's not the norm. The NCAA has allowed colleges to provide multiyear scholarships since 2012. ... Most athletic scholarships are only guaranteed for one year, but they are generally renewed annually.14 Aug 2019"

also the quality of the degrees has been called into question with many of the athletes being coerced into taking a lot of worthless classes so they can dedicate more time to training.

OK, hands up, got that wrong and should have said that any that are offered for the length of the degree are honoured if injured. TBH the ‘industry’ of college selection and competition, not just in sports, is such that word would quickly get around that they couldn’t be trusted and they would not be able to attract such good students. Stats are everything to them. I’m not aware of courses being easier but every uni we spoke to said they wouldn’t let athletes fail - suspension from training and team and tutors supplied until back on track. They don’t want the disruption having put effort into a student.

The US college system for athletes is indeed a really positive thing.

Just need to look at Russel Knox. Without his American uni scholarship I doubt he'd be where he is in golf.
