I thought the NCAA was essentially dead and toothless

[Extendedcab]

Or are they just really selective?

Slap on the wrist...the NCAA is still dead and toothless

[Political Hack]

A flex of momentary morality in a quest to remain relevant...

They should stick to academic scandals and leave the economic part of the game alone.

That ain't all Penny has going on up in the crime mecca of TN. avoid the area at all costs

[viverlibre]

We would have self imposed the death penalty.

Bad take. There?s some cool stuff going on here but that doesn?t sell news headlines

Yeah, it's just a lazy take. The majority of crime in Memphis happens in 2-3 pockets where the majority of us never go.

You mean the malls?

what causes the crime and who is responsible? I think there are valid reasons for people to avoid the area all together. Cars broken into 7 or 8 times in 2 years in a gated community and these are not the areas you say some folks avoid due to whatever reason.

Yeah, Memphis is moving further to the south and east. Even Germantown now isn't that safe. Not as bad as Midtown or downtown but comparable to 10 or 15 years ago it's gotten a lot worse.

[Political Hack]

Inner city pockets are seeing donations and subsidies dry up, which is going to automatically result in higher crime. It's science.

Result in? Have you not been paying attention? It's been happening for decades and ramped up since the plandemic.

I've got a friend who's parents live in the gated neighborhood that backs up to Ridgeway Country Club, extremely nice neighborhood with multimillion dollar homes. His dad's car was stolen FROM THEIR GARAGE during the middle of the day. I mean it used to be that you knew the areas to avoid in Memphis and could avoid them pretty easily. Nowadays, I don't know if the areas where you would feel safe even exist anymore.

Then Mulroy, the DA turns em back loose the next day if they are arrested. It is an entire trash run city.

Pretty much all big cities but people run with it. Nashville has a lot more crime than people realize but it's kept quiet because it's such a tourist attraction. But if you live there you know where/when not to go.

Wow!! That's pretty damn wild!!

Got a Memphis zip code on my address, not a suburb, but a legit Memphis zip code and I feel perfectly safe existing.

I'm not going to pretend Memphis doesn't have it's problems, but it's not just some cess pool with no hope and no value. It's a lot like Mississippi in the fact that to an outsider, why would anyone want to live there? But then you live there and discover it aint half bad.

[Coach34]

Sooooo- who is committing the majority of these crimes in Memphis?

Is this ban hammer bait?
