Big Blue Huddle

I've seen other team boards incorporate sub forums for non-sports discussions, but I don't believe there is enough traffic here to do the same.  And that's not a bad thing; this board works great as a Giants-centric forum.

They'll do better than my Cards.  And yes, that pains me to say.

Hey, the Jersey Shore cast will be making six figures per episode each for their spin-off shows.  Snooki was paid 32 grand to speak at Rutgers.  Think about that.  This is the world we live in.  These are the values we promote.  This is the future--no, I take that back, this is the PRESENT.

Was it Rutgers who paid the $32K to have her speak or did somebody else pay her $32K to speak at Rutgers?

The 32 grand was paid by a student organization, funded by fees--mandatory fees, if I'm not mistaken, but the decision was that Snooki was who the student body wanted.  So it was funded by students (or their parents), not tax-payer money.  Still, there's something terribly wrong with higher-education if students choose to shell out what amounts to a modest yearly income to hear an orange troll speak at campus.
