Published: July 18, 2013 - 11:20 PM
WASHINGTON: President Barack Obama assailed Republicans on Thursday for trying to dismantle his signature health-care law, saying it's already providing a benefit of one kind or another to millions of Americans, including a drop in projected premium costs in nearly a dozen states.
But experts predict that premiums on individual plans will increase in most states because of the new consumer protections the sweeping legislation requires.
The effect on premiums will vary across states depending on geographic location, the type of coverage and the individual characteristics of the enrollee.
For example, while Obama pointed to a reduction in premiums in New York state, state officials in Ohio say the average premium proposal for individual coverage next year is up 88 percent from this year's average price as reported by the Society of Actuaries. In Maryland, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield proposed a 25 percent increase in premiums next year, after first seeking a 50 percent increase. Final rates haven't been determined in either state.
The higher rates, supporters say, buy a health insurance system that guarantees access to coverage for everyone and improves benefits, such as requiring insurers to cover older children and outlawing lifetime spending limits on claims.
Obama, fighting to sell the health-care law against an onslaught of criticism from Republicans, launched an impassioned defense at the White House in front of several families who have received refund checks under a provision that requires insurers to spend at least 80 cents of every premium dollar on medical care and quality improvement or reimburse the difference. The president said rebates are being sent for 8.5 million Americans this summer, averaging $100 each.
The political battle over the 2010 law has intensified ahead of Oct. 1, the start of enrollment in the insurance exchanges set up under the measure.
Obama said the insurance marketplaces would allow consumers to go online and shop for health insurance "just like you'd compare over the Internet the best deal on flat-screen TVs or cars or any other product that is important to your lives."
The Obama administration has been buoyed by preliminary data that suggests that greater competition will reduce premiums for people who buy individual coverage outside the workplace in at least some states, with New York state officials announcing that individual premiums in the marketplace will be lower than projections by the Congressional Budget Office.
A new analysis by the Obama administration released Thursday found that in 11 locations where data are available, the lowest-priced plan will cost 18 percent less on average than the Congressional Budget Office had estimated when the law was debated. Those premiums still would be higher than they were at the time the law was enacted.
The 11 are California, Colorado, Washington, D.C., New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and Washington state.
The report, however, includes an asterisk that indicates Ohio and Virginia hadn't yet posted premiums for all issuers and that the numbers might end up higher. "In states that are working hard to make sure this law delivers for their people, what we're seeing is that consumers are getting a hint of how much money they're potentially going to save because of this law," Obama said.
Republicans have fought the law on the legislative and political fronts since its introduction and showed no signs of letting up Thursday.
House Speaker John Boehner, who said premiums in his home state of Ohio were predicted to rise by $200 a month, has asked the sponsors of legislation that would delay the law to deliver this week's Republican radio address.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Police arrested four people Friday during a small protest outside a New York City unemployment office. The protesters blocked the street to draw attention to the plight of "99ers" -- people who've exhausted 99 weeks of unemployment yet still haven't found work.
"It is not our shame. It is your shame, Congress," shouted Kian Frederick, an advocate for 99ers, into a bullhorn. "Do your job! Shame on you!"
Ninety-niners want Congress to recognize that there are five unemployed workers for every job opening and give the jobless an additional 20 weeks of benefits.
Democrats in the House and Senate have introduced long shot bills to create those extra weeks of aid, but that effort will take a back seat in the lame duck session to the more urgent task of reauthorizing the existing 99 weeks, set to expire at the end of the month. (Some members of Congress and their staffers have been confused about the difference between helping the 99ers and reauthorizing the existing benefits.)
The extended benefits that Congress needs to reauthorize provide up to 73 weeks of aid on top of the 26 weeks provided by states. Five million people currently received the extended benefits, which are routinely enacted in response to recessions and left in place until the unemployment rate declines. If Congress fails to reauthorize the benefits, two million long-term unemployed will prematurely stop receiving checks within one month, according to the National Employment Law Project.
(Nobody knows how many 99ers there are because the government doesn't have the data to make an estimate.)
The Rochester Unemployment Examiner reported that "Kian Fredrick, Yvonne Fitzner, Joe Stanick and Debbie Kloepping were arrested, handcuffed, and spent about 90 minutes in custody before being released."
The local ABC affiliate has video of the protesters blocking the street and getting arrested. WATCH a video of Frederick's speech:
On Wednesday, a dozen labor-organized protesters spoke out against the GOP's opposition to unemployment benefits at incoming House Speaker John Boehner's office in Ohio.
CORRECTION 10/20/11: An earlier version of this article described Frederick as a 99er. She says she was advocating for 99ers but had not been out of work that long herself before she was arrested.

Patriots LB Ninkovich Inks 2-Year Extension
By: Ian Logue
Ninkovich was rewarded again with another extension on Friday. (FILE:Icon/SMI)
If there was any doubt about the fact that if you play well you'll be rewarded here in New England, Friday once again proved that's exactly what will happen.
Mike Reiss of ESPN Boston reported Friday morning that the Patriots have signed Rob Ninkovich to a 2-year contract extension.
Ninkovich played well last season, finishing with 91 tackles, 5.0 sacks, 2 interceptions, along with 7 pass deflections in his second season with the Patriots. New England picked him up after he was cut by the Saints in August of 2009, and he's been a great fit so far since being here. He's already received one extension that had him signed through 2011 in November of that season thanks to his performance early in the year, and he's obviously impressed them enough to want to keep him around even longer.
He told NESN that he's excited about the fact he'll be sticking around for a while.
"I'm happy to be here, and [for] a few more years, so I'm excited," Ninkovich said.
Earlier this preseason the Patriots rewarded cornerback Kyle Arrington with a contract extension after he came in and took over for Darius Butler and played well last season, and also did the same thing last year with runningback Danny Woodhead after his performance.
Needless to say the mantra seems to be the same:
Prove you can contribute, and you'll be rewarded.

I'm happy with this one - it's been hit by repeated frosts over the last
several weeks, minor damage to bloom (other than from my picking at the
bud trying to get a preview).
Faults? barely BB height, very late bloom - it will always be frozen out
if this is typical, foliar health not as good as IMM. Haven't decided
whether or not the brown haft marks on this one suit me or not. But such

Behind the nearly 59,000 AAA Approved and Diamond Rated hotels and restaurants is a team of professional, highly trained AAA inspectors. And behind every inspector are the travel information needs and expectations of 57 million AAA/CAA members.
MEMBERS are the reason for AAA inspections — so the places you select provide the experiences you expect. YOUR expectations are the 36 hotel requirements and 15 restaurant requirements properties need to be eligible for inspection and AAA Approval.
INSPECTORS are industry experts who apply the extensive Diamond Rating Guidelines, weighted by member priorities, to assign ratings of One to Five AAA Diamonds. They have the insight and expertise to distinguish which properties are a good match for AAA/CAA travelers.
HOTELS AND RESTAURANTS that undergo the extensive review to become AAA Approved and Diamond Rated place a high value on AAA/CAA member business. They work with AAA Member Relations resolving every AAA member comment and concern.

Uniform convergence (combinatorics)
|This article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject. Learn how and when to remove this template message) (October 2009) (
For a class of predicates defined on a set and a set of samples , where , the empirical frequency of on is . The Uniform Convergence Theorem states, roughly,that if is "simple" and we draw samples independently (with replacement) from according to a distribution , then with high probability all the empirical frequency will be close to its expectation, where the expectation is given by . Here "simple" means that the Vapnik-Chernovenkis dimension of the class is small relative to the size of the sample.
In other words, a sufficiently simple collection of functions behaves roughly the same on a small random sample as it does on the distribution as a whole.
Uniform convergence theorem statement[1][edit]
If is a set of -valued functions defined on a set and is a probability distribution on then for and a positive integer, we have,
- for some
where, for any ,
- ,
- and . indicates that the probability is taken over consisting of i.i.d. draws from the distribution .
is defined as: For any -valued functions over and ,
- .
And for any natural number the shattering number is defined as.
- .
From the point of Learning Theory one can consider to be the Concept/Hypothesis class defined over the instance set . Before getting into the details of the proof of the theorem we will state Sauer's Lemma which we will need in our proof.
Sauer–Shelah lemma[edit]
The Sauer–Shelah lemma[2] relates the shattering number to the VC Dimension.
Lemma: , where is the VC Dimension of the concept class .
Corollary: .
Proof of uniform convergence theorem [1][edit]
Before we get into the details of the proof of the Uniform Convergence Theorem we will present a high level overview of the proof.
- Symmetrization: We transform the problem of analyzing into the problem of analyzing , where and are i.i.d samples of size drawn according to the distribution . One can view as the original randomly drawn sample of length , while may be thought as the testing sample which is used to estimate .
- Permutation: Since and are picked identically and independently, so swapping elements between them will not change the probability distribution on and . So, we will try to bound the probability of for some by considering the effect of a specific collection of permutations of the joint sample . Specifically, we consider permutations which swap and in some subset of . The symbol means the concatenation of and .
- Reduction to a finite class: We can now restrict the function class to a fixed joint sample and hence, if has finite VC Dimension, it reduces to the problem to one involving a finite function class.
We present the technical details of the proof.
Lemma: Let for some and
- for some .
Then for , .
Proof: By the triangle inequality,
if and then .
- and
- and [since and are independent].
Now for fix an such that . For this , we shall show that
- .
Thus for any , and hence . And hence we perform the first step of our high level idea.
Notice, is a binomial random variable with expectation and variance . By Chebyshev's inequality we get,
- for the mentioned bound on . Here we use the fact that for .
Let be the set of all permutations of that swaps and in some subset of .
Lemma: Let be any subset of and any probability distribution on . Then,
where the expectation is over chosen according to , and the probability is over chosen uniformly from .
Proof: For any
- [since coordinate permutations preserve the product distribution ].
- [Because is finite]
- [The expectation]
- .
The maximum is guaranteed to exist since there is only a finite set of values that probability under a random permutation can take.
Reduction to a finite class[edit]
Lemma: Basing on the previous lemma,
- .
Proof: Let us define and which is atmost . This means there are functions such that for any between and with for .
We see that iff for some in satisfies, . Hence if we define if and otherwise.
For and , we have that iff for some in satisfies . By union bound we get,
- .
Since, the distribution over the permutations is uniform for each , so equals , with equal probability.
- ,
where the probability on the right is over and both the possibilities are equally likely. By Hoeffding's inequality, this is at most .
Finally, combining all the three parts of the proof we get the Uniform Convergence Theorem.

Venice Film Festival
Famous titles, the Italian poker and the most promising movies
The 67th Venice Film Festival announces this year's films and important names from international cinema
The Venice Film Festival has announced this year's line-up (September 1-11). The 67th festival is apparently going to be discreet though substantial, without all the usual gossiping on stars, always too much in recent years, as we know that VIPs equal gossip and sensation. There will still be important names from the world of international cinema, though. The program was announced without too much sensation, also because the most famous titles were already known, even though not officially: Black Swan by Darren Aronofsky with Natalie Portman and Winona Ryder, Somewhere by Sofia Coppola with Stephen Dorff and Benicio Del Toro, Miral by Julian Schnabel with Freida Pinto, Hiam Abbass and Willem Dafoe.
Confirmed the Italian 'poker' we announced some days ago: La solitudine dei numeri primi by Saverio Costanzo, La passione by Carlo Mazzacurati, Noi credevamo by Mario Martone, La pecora nera, directing debut for Ascanio Celestini. Hopefully the usual (Italian) parochialists won't complain.
Most promising movies are: Promises Written in Water by Vincent Gallo, Venus noire by Abdellatif Kechiche of Cous Cous, Post mortem by Torino Film Festival winner Pablo Larrain, Potiche by French François Ozon.
It's now common practice for festival manager Marco Mueller, to present plenty Asian films, among which Jûsan-Nin No Shikaku by Japanese Takashi Miike and Di Renjie Zhi Tongtian Diguo by Hong Kong Hark Tsui, two oriental masters.

Grief is an overwhelming emotion that leave you feeling hopeless and powerless. You can feel as if you are living in a cave with little warmth and light. I want to help you find your way out of that dark, sad place and into a more hopeful and satisfying life. With proven tools and cognitive techniques I will help you find joy again.

I offer gentle support and comfort for my clients at a pace that they can tolerate. My clients have expressed to me that my ability to listen empathetically has allowed them the time to process the devastation and loss they've witnessed. People who've experienced death or divorce may feel angry, depressed, empty, and/or alone. I take time with them to respect these feelings, and do not prescribe ways they "should" be feeling. Grief is different for all, some experience it as a sudden event while others witness gradual decline of a loved one, both can still feel numb or raw. Perspective clients can call or email me to begin a dialogue; we determine then if proceeding is right for you.

Grief and Loss, it is something we all go through yet that does not make it any easier. Plus each loss is different and difficult and has its own journey. I understand the loss of a Loved one, I have been. I will sit with you in your pain until you are ready to move forward. I will assist you in the processing of your loved one in your own special way. You are not alone in this.

Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J.

For no one wants to stay in a grief mode for too long; but when you don't include the brain in your work with someone, you risk describing the water to them while they drown and calling it success.

Grief is a reaction to loss that encompasses a range of feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. It is experienced differently by each person according to his or her culture, background, gender, beliefs, personality, and relationship to the deceased. I work with clients to express the full range of feelings that may be present including sadness, yearning, guilt, regret, anger, and a sense of meaninglessness. Clients become more comfortable with their loss over time; the amount of time varies by person.

Clients experiencing loss are often at a cross roads, their life continues to move on but someone is missing from their day to day experiences. These clients may be struggling to understand how to live their life without the person they have lost. I like to work with clients as they learn how they can begin to move forward and live their life so they can honor and cherish their loved one's memory.

Continued from page 1
In 2013, I wish we could all step back a bit to figure out what business we're in now.
In a way, it's similar to the bad old days of sales (short term thinking) and marketing (long term thinking) departments being at war. That's oversimplified but not all that far from reality.
I wish for the discipline to work only with collaborative clients.
We need to walk away from the others. They make us order takers and not smart marketers. Last week we had a call from a jewelry manufacturer who wanted us to get them 10,000 Twitter followers and 3,000 Facebook Friends with no rationale on who they wanted or why and they weren't interested in discussing it.
That'll end in rancor, so I walked away, quickly.
And I hope we can stick to what we're good at.
We need to understand our strengths, and to think more about what we enjoy doing.
When we're having fun, and the orders are rolling in for clients, there's a natural high. In order for that to happen, we need access to their database, their history, their offers and their margins.
We need to be partners again with our clients. China and India are offering all kinds of services and products that undercut our own costs of doing business. So we have to do things 100 times better, more efficiently and make our customers more loyal to our clients.
The -key to our success as an agency this year is to deliver superior value, transcend the clients' expectations and still get our high response rates for programs.
It is a tall order with everything else going on but I think we'll measure up. Wishing won't make that happen though, so back to work.
Happy New Year!

Cheryl James AKA Salt Net Worth: Cheryl James AKA Saltan is an American rapper and actress who has a net worth of $14 million. Cheryl James earned her net worth performing in the rapp trio of Salt-N-Peppa, appearing in film, as well as performing in the 2008 hip hop awards. Born Cheryl R. "Salt" James on March 28, 1966, in Brooklyn, New York, US, she is best known as a founding member of the rap trio Salt-N-Pepa. Salt-N-Pepa initially was a duo formed by Cheryl James and Sandra Denton in 1984. Two years later, Deidre Roper joined the group who saw the release of five studio albums: Hot, Cool & Vicious (1986), A Salt with a Deadly Pepa (1988), Blacks' Magic (1990), Very Necessary (1993) and Brand New (1997). With such a prolific portfolio, Salt-N-Pepa became the first female rap act to have gold, platinum, and multi-platinum albums, as well as the first female rap act to earn a Grammy. In addition, the trio co-starred in the comedy Who's the Man? (1993). In 1997, Cheryl James worked with gospel artists Kirk Franklin and God's Property on a song titled Stomp for their album God's Property. While a year later, she and her Salt-mates appeared in the VH1's year-long series, The Salt-N-Pepa Show (2007–2008). The trio disabnded in 2002, but reformed after a six-year-long hiatus in 2008. When it comes to her private life, Cheryl James married her long time partner Gavin Wray on Christmas Eve 2000. The pair has two children together.

The People said: 'Comic Kenny Everett looks pale and gaunt in this amazing picture which shows why friends are so concerned about his health . . . two years ago, his gay lover Nicolai Grishanovitch died of Aids.'
There was no proof at this stage. Everett had not stated that he had HIV, and his medical records are confidential. But the hints were very broad. The People's word 'gaunt', used of Freddie Mercury, has taken on the status of a code word. And under the headline 'Zany Comic Kenny 'In Aids Anguish' ', the News of the World said: 'Friends in the gay community say rumours are rife that the zany comic loved by millions is HIV-positive.'
Now that the rumours had been printed, their substance could be confirmed or denied. Everett, who was on holiday in Italy, was due back at his Kensington home that Sunday afternoon. When he got out of his taxi, the journalists were waiting for him.
'There's four of us outside the house,' said Chris Pharo of the Sun. 'We said: 'Well, Kenny, you've obviously seen today's papers.' We said: 'We have to ask the question: are you HIV-positive?' To which he replied, 'Yes'.'
Kenny Everett was born Maurice Cole in Liverpool in 1944; his father, Tom Cole, was captain of a Mersey tugboat. At school he was 'hopeless' and bullied. 'I wasn't really built to be born in Liverpool. . . . I spent most of my time as a schoolboy hiding from the other kids,' he told the Daily Mirror in 1979. He left school at 13, having suddenly decided to become a priest, but was expelled from a seminary in Yorkshire for stealing wine and bread and admitting it in the confessional.
As a teenager, he bought two tape-recorders and spent several years recording himself talking in funny voices and making 'daft programmes just to amuse myself'. He sent one to the BBC, which interviewed him on air and auditioned him as a DJ. He enjoyed it but didn't pass.
In 1967 he heard the pirate station Radio Caroline for the first time. 'Suddenly here was this station with real disc jockeys who were obviously all having a jolly good time.' He sent his tape of daft voices to another new station, Radio London, was taken on, and changed his name to Kenny Everett. Then he started taking drugs - 'I used to rave it up on LSD every weekend' - and developing his 'zany' style, a twerpy, highly-strung patter.
In 1968, he put on one silly voice too many and was sacked for mimicking one of Radio London's advertisers. He moved to the BBC as a disc jockey, but in 1970 was sacked again for making a joke about Mary Peyton, wife of the then transport minister, who had just passed her driving test: 'She probably crammed a fiver into the examiner's hand.'
He had met his wife, Lee, in 1965. High on drugs and depressed, he told her he felt suicidal. She told him to think about how beautiful trees were. 'And I thought, 'Oh yes, the trees are lovely, aren't they?' I'd never really thought about such things.' They married two years later, and stayed together for 14 years, finally splitting up because of Everett's homosexuality, which he tried to suppress for years.
In the 1970s, he worked for Radio Luxembourg (sacked for admitting he'd taken drugs), Capital Radio, and then in television for Granada, before real stardom arrived with The Kenny Everett Video Show, which began in 1978 and gave full rein to his bizarre array of comedy characters.
When his marriage broke up, his wife wrote a book about their life together - she had encouraged him to accept his homosexuality - and in 1985 he went to live with Nicolai and a Spanish waiter, Pepe Flores, in a flat in Kensington. He had attempted suicide a few years before, after being rejected by a man he fell in love with.
In 1983, at a Young Conservatives rally, he famously said: 'Let's bomb Russia.' A year later, rehired by the BBC as a DJ, he was fired again for making a tasteless joke about Margaret Thatcher. In 1989 he gave up TV, saying he was sick of all the attention, reportedly cutting his earnings from pounds 150,000 to pounds 80,000.
Since then, he has hosted a weekday show on Capital Gold radio, being zany and irreverent between playing old hits.
Of his ordeal last Sunday, Sharon Ring of the News of the World said: 'He handled it brilliantly. I don't think you can point to a news story which was handled so brilliantly, so wittily, so cleverly.' Still, Everett's celebrity will now take on a new tone: he will be an HIV-celebrity, someone famous for being famous and testing positive for HIV.
There is, as yet, no easy way to avoid this status, no matter how the news emerges. Last week, another famous figure in the British pop world chose voluntary and dignified disclosure in an interview published in the Times. Holly Johnson, the lead singer of Frankie Goes To Hollywood, said that when he first learned that he was HIV-positive he could 'hardly hear what was said to me for fear of the media and what they would do when they got hold of the story'.
He added: 'I imagined the headlines. I was afraid that the first thing they'd say (would be) that this person who'd promoted a promiscuous homosexual lifestyle was, basically, getting his just deserts.'
And indeed this happened, exactly as Johnson predicted. Before the Times published the story on the Saturday, it leaked out to its stablemate, the Sun, which rushed into print on Thursday with large headlines ('I was part of a huge explosion of gay promiscuity, says Holly').
On Friday the Times apologised: 'It is a matter of regret that stories based on the . . . interview appeared in newspapers other than the Times yesterday.' But the Sun was unrepentant. 'The single most important message we should be teaching our kids,' wrote its columnist Garry Bushell, 'is that sodomy kills.'
So a popular figure who is HIV-positive has no real choice. He can be doorstepped and questioned by reporters, or he can 'come out' at a time and in a manner of his own choosing, but the result will be the same: a new kind of fame and some degree of ignominy.
Last week, in fact, it was the involuntary Everett who fared better than the voluntary Johnson. 'The way comic Kenny announced (sic) his personal tragedy showed maturity and a sense of proportion,' wrote Bushell.
In this case, maturity equals humour. 'My sense of humour will be the last thing to go,' Everett said. 'I've been wondering what to put on my tombstone and I think it will be 'No punchline - ring Barry Cryer'.'
He added: 'It's not affecting my work. How healthy do you have to be to play 'Da Doo Ron Ron'?'

Memories of us together;
holding hands at the beach,
walking through moonlit forests,
kissing under the sun set.
Feelings that I had;
a warm feeling, which made
me float above the clouds,
happiness, which lit up
anywhere I went.
Love which flourished
and grew like a field of blossom.
The things we shared;
our love for nature,
our favourite flower
- cherry blossom, a beautiful
flower which only lasted a few
months and didn't bear any fruit –
our love of beauty,
and love songs;
Gone too.
My life;
which I shared with you,
gave to you,
as ephemeral as the
cherry blossom.

MSU Gymnastics Coach Announces "Retirement"
This comes just a day after being suspended amid allegations she tried to quiet athletes who wanted to report Dr. Nassar. The nightmare week continues for Michigan State.
[LOCKED] Tom Brady respects teammate's personal decisions on going/not going to White House
Tom Brady was very tactful today in comments regarding going to the White House. He feels that going to the White House (as the Super Bowl victors) is a great experience, and personally chooses to put politics aside. However, at the same time, he respects that time away from the team is precious, and believes that each of his teammates has the right to choose to go or not go to the White House, regardless of the reasons they have.
Personally, Tom has been to the White House when a Democrat held office (Clinton, after Michigan's national championship), and when a Republican held office (Bush, Patriot's super bowl victories). He missed a couple years ago while Obama held office, because of short notice, and a conflict with a family commitment.
LINK: Tom Brady in favor of "putting politics aside" when it comes to White House Visit
Several observations:
- This is a news story, reported in several MSM outlets.
- As a news story, this is a great example, imhe, of something that tangentially intersects with politics, and also with Michigan. As such, it is reasonable to post about this kind of thing at MGoBlog.
- Having said that, in the same way that Tom suggests "setting politics aside" when going to the White House, obv. readers have to "set politics aside" with this kind of post. Regardless of the political party and position of the current office holder, you go to the White House as a reward/honor.
- Both USA Today and the Chicago Tribune didn't have anything to report regarding Brady and where he stands as regards Trump.
So far, six Patriots players have said they will skip the yet-to-be announced meeting with President Trump. Players skipping the White House celebration is nothing new, of course, and many absences have been rooted in politics, although Brady told Pro Football Talk Live on Tuesday his 2015 no-show had nothing to do with former President Obama.
"It really is a great experience," Brady told PFT. "Putting politics aside, it never was a political thing. At least, it never was to me. It as something that was a privilege to do. It meant you won a championship and you got to experience something cool with your team, with your teammates. Everyone has their own choice."
Brady said the 2015 visit he missed was due to a relatively last-minute notice the ceremony would take place.
"Everybody has their own choice," Brady said. "There are certain years, like a couple years ago, I wanted to go and didn't get the opportunity based on the schedule. We didn't get told until I think like 10 days before we were going, and at that point I had something I'd been planning for months and couldn't get there.
"If people don't want to go they don't want to go and that's their choice."
OP EDIT: My thanks to the Mod LSA. It rapidly became obvious to me with comments that something in the news about a Michigan sports personality intersecting with politics is a topic that is difficult for many posters to comment on without their personal views coming to the fore. - SRK
MOD EDIT - Tom Brady, so we can let the OP sit so people know what he said, but locking this since it is difficult for this one NOT to get political (and indeed, it did very quickly). - LSA

A Modest Proposal for "Paying" the Players
In the comments we tend to go back and forth with "of course/of course not/won't-someone-think-of-the-childen/what-about-the-other-students", so I thought I'd lay out a specific proposal.
The goal of the proposal is twofold:
First, channel some of the obscene money flowing to athletic departments, the NCAA, and bowl committees to the people who make the money train possible.
Second, avoid the quagmire of trying to determine exactly who deserves what.
1. Lifetime free/reasonable-cost health coverage.
This is obviously of most value to our football players, but one thing student-athletes do more of is get hurt. Some of those injuries can have serious long-term consequences, so give them lifetime coverage for those risks. Whether this is health insurance or actual health coverage can be discussed, but I would imagine health insurance would be the better way to go, as health coverage has geographic limitations that aren't always convenient. This in and of itself would soak up a tremendous amount of the money pouring into collegiate sports and give it back in a way that I contend is fair - student athletes incur more long-term health risks than their fellow students, so giving them a benefit to counteract that risk - and has less of an impact than straight-cash payouts.
This has the further advantage of doing the right thing with regards to our increasing knowledge of the price that our student-athletes pay in terms of long-term brain injuries.
2. Allow athletes to profit from their likenesses. If EASports wants a Michigan QB #16, Denard Robinson gets a cut. Again, other students aren't restricted in such a way, so removing this restriction seems fair.
3. Remove the restriction on outside student benefits (i.e. bagmen and boosters). This restriction doesn't currently exist for other students (or, technically, for high school students not yet subject to the NCAA), and hence is also fair.
The last restriction seems like the most likely to cause havoc, but I have a few counterarguments:
a. Those who believe that the $EC is already deploying bagmen for football and that everyone is doing so for basketball should welcome a leveling of the playing field. This is the "it's already happening, and we're losing a battle that's not worth fighting" argument.
b. Those who think that auctioning off the top talent every year would lead to a totally different football landscape ... well, if you take a look at the top 10 teams each year for the last 10/20/50 years, you will find a strong correlation between the wealthiest universities and the most successful. Put simply, they can pay for facilities and coaching talent, and if they make a mistake they can pay to make it go away anyway. What, exactly, will change?
c. I have no doubt there would be a turbulent few years as people gave "f-you" money to top prospects and people decried "the kids these days", but all it takes is one top target who flames out to get people to realize that throwing giant piles of money at 18-year-old boys to play a sport with a horrific flameout rate is not sustainable. It will stabilize pretty quickly (within about ten years, I think) and the Rashan Garys of the world will get injury insurance money to wear someone's laundry, while the others will get new-car money, and not much will change.
d. This has the benefit of not running afoul of Title IX, as the athletic opportunities aren't changing and the university isn't doing any of the payouts.
e. I am not making the argument that our athletes aren't being compensated. I'm making the argument that they are not being compensated adequately. We cannot make the argument that "Hey, it's a business" when a recruit switches his commit to us or gloat over the Nike deal and say "No, it's amateur hour" when we want to keep our sports the way they are.
f. Aside from the moral arguments around "why shouldn't they get what they can?", Michigan has resources it can deploy more effectively than most, so it's to our benefit.
g. Arguing that we shouldn't pay players because it would change things is, at its core, an old-man-get-off-my-lawn argument. Just because it would change things is not a reason to do something if the problem is bad enough, and I think it is. Particularly in light of the concussion issue.
