I know a guy who is stating that he has a Ph.D. and is asking people to call him "Doctor". His Ph.D. is from Northwestern. Er, Northwestern Theological Seminary. (he typically only says "Northwestern"). When I look up the university, they state you can get your Ph.D. in 90 days and point out that it is NOT accredited. Can he use the title of Dr.?

Secondly, he needs a master's and claims he has one from Wesly Seminary. This is a 36-hour master's degree. They claim to be accredited by both the Association of Theological Schools and the Higher Learning Commission.

Are these in any way legit and comparable to a master's or doctorate from any mainstream college or university? What accreditation is common?

Thanks.

I don’t see NIL ever becoming a thing under Franklin because most smart, successful alum are well-aware that Franklin sucks as a Big Game Coach. Plus, taking into account the massive extension on-top of that that lots of alum weren’t necessarily on-board with. Not to mention Franklin’s exorbitant salary.

Point is the alum who make the big bucks, & are intelligent, successful individuals themselves most-likely aren’t gonna donate their hard-earned money to NIL because Franklin can’t beat a legit top 10 team, so it would be a waist of an investment another-words!

Ultimately, it’s no different than investing in a bad stock. Any smart, successful person most-likely isn’t gonna do that!

7-2 start but 23-11 MSU run since then

When someone quotes another poster's comment, there is a small up arrow by the quoted person's name. That arrow is a live link to the original post. Tap on that up arrow and you will be directed to that quote. You can do this multiple times to see what the discussion is about. It will go back to other pages in long threads.

Don't know if it will jump to another thread if that is where the original quote is from but I think it will.

This helps understand a conversation within a thread.

Let's have a general discussion about 2024 given the fact that 24 will just be different in so-many ways for us given the expanded Big 10, & expanded playoffs.

My early thoughts are as-follows............

1. Our most exciting, & critical game of the season will almost-certainly be at USC on October 12th in a game at the Coloseium that'll almost-certainly be under the lights on NBC.

Franklin generally doesn't fare to well in big games so I don't have my hopes up to much for that 1 let's just put it that way.

2. Overall, I believe our season will largely hinge on Drew Allar's development. If he takes a step forward next season we should at-least be 10 - 2 which would almost-certainly be enough to at-least get us into the playoffs.

Along those same lines Nolan Rucci, my goodness if he ends-up being a plug-in left tackle for us given his immense size, & talent that'll almost-certainly help Allar's development immensely as a Junior, as-well-as help our talented backs hopefully have big years next season.

Ultimately, especially, with Rucci in the fold I'd be disappointed if our talented, & experienced backs didn't also take a giant step forward next season.

Along those same lines I'd be very surprised, & disappointed if we didn't figure-out a way to utilize Quinton Martin's immense talent, & versatility as a freshman despite the depth chart.

3. Defensively, adding AJ Harris is massive from the standpoint of if he has the ability to be a true number 1 corner that will just make life so much easier for everyone-else on defense ultimately.

4. Franklin's big game problem is what concerns me most given the expanded playoffs, & expanded Big 10!

and Happy Birthday to Sue Paterno!

Some of us need a tutorial on how to operate this thing!

I can't imagine that Buckeye fans are thrilled. UCLA fans are probably happier.

What say you?

Overall, I’m pretty down on the program right now………….. We don’t have a big game coach, & we’re not recruiting at a high enough level to compensate for it!

Setting this up in advance of the MI/NE match.

Not a lot of detail but I can tell you streaming is broken for sports. My local teams, Guardians and Cavs, are on Balley Sports network which used to be Fox Sports Ohio. They declared Chapter 7 bankruptcy and the teams tried to get control back. But the contract went on for another year, at least, In the meantime, they screwed up negotiations and are carried by next to nobody. The app is $20 per month. Then we had a game on Peacock, a playoff game was on Peacock...I simply have no clue where to watch games anymore without having to do several WWW searches.

We'll see where this goes. The only reason why I currently carry any live TV at all is ESPN/Fox/B1G. If I can get rid of those, I'll go back to an antenna for the local channels and the movie streaming services like Apple, Max, Netflix and Amazon.

Does anyone else think Kerk has moved up the standings substantially in the Hodge race? Especially in the dominance category, he’s simply destroying everyone in his path while KOT, Starocci and even Brooks have had some closer matches of late. Thoughts?
