IL, USA - Is it legal for IDHS or any welfare agency to use random number generators to determine placement in job aid programs? Also harassment from survey company.

There's two parts to this, the first part is Illinois Department of Human Services and a job placement program they had started a couple years ago, and the second is some persistent harassment I'm experiencing from Mathematica Policy Research, who are doing "follow up surveys" for people who were interested in that job placement program.
The first part, IDHS using random number generators for placement in a job training and placement program. My roommate mentioned to me yesterday when I was telling her about the harassment from MPR that it is illegal for a government agency to make decisions at random or using lottery draw, and all decisions must be made with intent. She's not a lawyer, and I don't seem to be having any luck with my google searching since I just keep getting lottery/gambling related law stuff. I want to know if this is true, and if this has any bearing on my circumstances and if I have the ability to push for legal compensation.
The job placement program I can no longer remember the name of was posited like this: Illinois could no longer drag their feet on the work requirements for SNAP, so they decided to offer a "test run" of a new job training program that you could apply for if you were interested, and you would take part in job skills training which would lead to certification and job placement, and that would replace your usual job searching/application requirements to continue receiving SNAP benefits. I was extremely interested in this program, because the kinds of things that were on offer were training in welding, machining, and woodworking, and other trade skills in high demand in the area.
I went through the orientation and there were some forms and questions to fill out on a computer that was designed to help you choose what you were going to do for your job skill training course. Afterwards, I was taken to a desk in the same room to talk with a case worker, and she filled out the application form on her computer, and told me my placement was dependent upon a random number generator, supposedly to remove bias. She also said if I did not get in due to the random number generator, that I was prohibited from applying to the program again for a minimum of two years. I did not get into the program.
I have no proof that this was truly a random number generator, and I don't even know if I could prove anyone got placement. I have no other information aside from what I was told and what I saw on her screen. I was devastated, but aside from that, had to do the usual "show up every month with 10 'job contacts' to keep getting my benefits, despite working a 20hr a week job, because 20hrs was no longer sufficient to qualify me for not having to seek other employment. They also cut my monthly SNAP from the full $200 to a pittance of $30. I stopped recertifying because there was no point.
As part of the application process, you agree to being contacted by Mathematica Policy Research about "voluntary" surveys so they can gauge the effectiveness of the new program compared to the traditional job search requirements. One was 6-12 months from the date of application, the other was 2 years. They offer $40 gift cards in exchange for your participation, so at the time I agreed and did the first survey. It was mostly asking if I was able to get work, if that was related to my SNAP job contacts requirement, and if I was still receiving benefits.
Apparently it's come time for round two of the survey, because they contacted at the start of September this year. I agreed to do the survey and then they told me it would take 30 minutes to complete over the phone. After answering some very invasive and personal questions about my employment status and other things, I just decided to hang up and not complete the survey. They called back a few times and I eventually just ignored the calls since the call quality was so bad they couldn't hear me tell them I wasn't interested.
My phone also has an issue where often when people call me it goes straight to voicemail even if I have full signal and it's on, etc, and when I finally checked my voicemail a couple weeks later I had eleven missed calls from them asking me to complete the survey. They had also started to send me emails. This feels way too pushy for a survey that is supposedly voluntary, and my repeated ignoring of their calls should have been enough to indicate that I don't want them calling me. I blocked their number and they called from another number. They also sent me physical mail, and at that point I threatened to seek legal action against them for harassment, though I'm not sure it fits the legal definition, I just wanted them to stop contacting me. Then my mom messaged me saying they called her and left her a voicemail, because apparently she was listed as my emergency contact.
It seems really creepy that they'd start harassing my family members to get me to complete a survey that is voluntary AFTER I told them to fuck off. I want them to stop, and I want to know if I have the ability to take legal action here. I can't be the only one who's being harassed by these guys, and I can't be the only person who was rejected from this job placement program that could have benefited greatly from it. If I have no legal grounds that kind of sucks but I also would like to know if anyone has advice to get this survey company to get off my back and leave me the hell alone.

Michigan Wolverines men's basketball: Three Decades of Failure (aka the Curse of Chris Webber)

Hi guys, long time no see. I'm back again with yet another Legacy of Failure.
And this new LoF is heavily inspired by Tree's new LoF for the Maple Leafs. May not be as dramatic by I'll do my best.
And I'm also doing this LoF post because of the dire situation College Sports is in right now. But I'll explain more of that at the end of this rant.
Now, let us begin, with the One Billionth roasting of my favorite College team, the Michigan Wolverines, but in basketball edition.
April 3, 1989 - "Michigan is only 3 seconds away from claiming it's first ever national championship and becoming the first team to win both the Rose Bowl and the NCAA in one year. P.J. Carlesimo can not change, he is out of timeouts...they're gonna have to get the ball over Mills who will try to Harris, the big man on the throw-in...starts when touched, long pass, Walker, Green battle, fires up, it's over! Michigan has won the National Championship!
Well done, Michigan, after your first two attempts failed you have finally climbed to the top of the College Basketball world! Feels good, eh? The basketball National Championship is finally in your hands. With some of your top stars like Glen Rice moving away to the NBA draft, great challenges are sure to rise, but you've still got plenty of time to cement yourself among the Blue Bloods of College Basketball. The Future looks bright for you...
1989 offseason - After leading your team to a National Championship as an interim coach after we told that underachieving fuck Bill Frieder to fuck off, Steve Fisher is now officially your new head coach. Things are looking promising indeed...
1990 - Yes they are as Coach Fisher leads the Wolverines to another strong season at 23-8 and the #3 seed in the West Regional bracket! Unfortunately they are they pounded in the second round by 11th seeded....LOYOLA MARYMOUNT?! AND THEY DROPPED 149 POINTS ON YOU?!! Jesus Christ what a complete slaughter...this has got to be the worst title defense effort I have ever seen in my life!!
Please don't let this be a sign of bad things to come...
1991 - Turns out that Loyola Marymount whooped Michigan's ass so hard that they completely fell to shit and missed the Big Dance. Guess 1989 was a fluke after all...things need to change and fast...
1991 offseason - The Wolverines end up making the offseason splash to end all splashes. They end up recruiting what is arguably the most promising Freshman squad in College Basketball history. With their totally gangsta "Boys 'n the Hood" persona, baggy shorts and Ice-T like personalities, All-American High School basketball star Chris Webber, Juwan Howard, Jalen Rose, along with Texas-sized high school basketball stars in Jimmy King and Ray Jackson, they form a new College Basketball superteam simply known as - the "Fab Five." The rest of the College Basketball world better get ready to protect their balls from being kicked in, because the Wolverine basketball Empire is about to begin...MWAHAHAHAHAHAH!!
1992 - Though not perfect, the Fab Five do not disappoint and finish with a solid 25-9 record and the #6 seed in the Southeast Region.
1992 NCAA Tournament - The Fab Five manage to win Tournament games against Temple and East Tennessee State in the first and second rounds respectively. After narrowly defeating Oklahoma State in the Sweet 16, they make it to an Elite Eight showdown with their biggest rival - those Buckeye fucks from Ohio State. Bring down the hammer.
1992 NCAA Tournament, Elite Eight - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! How do you like dem apples, Suckeyes?!! The Wolverines pull off the upset in OT and make it to their 5th Final Four! Go take your sorry asses back to Columbus, Suckeyes, it's time for the Wolverines to form...the Empire...
1992 Final Four - The Cinderella run for the Fab Five continues as Michigan edges past 4th seeded Cincinnati in the National Semifinal, and on their way to the National Championship game against those fuckers from Duke. Christian Laettner, Grant Hill and Coach K won't know what kind of freight train is gonna hit them! Move over, Blue Devils, here come the Wolverines!!
1992 National Championship Game - Here come the Wolverines as they blow their halftime lead and do absolutely nothing in the 2nd half as Duke goes on to repeat as National Champions and form their own Empire instead. Like seriously, you couldn't even try to make it close? Fuck off with your choking.
Oh well, still a successful season though. Next year you'll get over the hump!
1993 - What did I tell you? The Fab Five make the rest of the Big Ten into their bitch and finish the season with Michigan's best record yet at 26-4 and the #1 seed in the West regional! Onto your glorious future!
1993 NCAA Tournament, Second Round - Ugh, you're already blowing it in the second round against UCLA?! Just get it over with already so I can hit the Molson bottles...wait...Michigan...didn't choke?!
1993 NCAA Tournament, Elite Eight - After defeating Temple you finally make it back to the Final Four, and you have a tough challenge coming up against those Wildcats from Kentucky in New Orleans. I'm not too sure about this...
1993 Final Four - Did you just pull off a shocker against Kentucky in OT without making a single 3-point shot?! Well, I may have faith in you once more! You once again make it back to the National Championship...and you're facing that OTHER ACC powerhouse in North Carolina. You're even ranked higher than they are and have a good shot at winning! Don't blow this again...
1993 National Championship Game - Okay, you're down by 2 with only 19 seconds remaining. Try and at least send this into OT for now...
"Michigan...will have to bring it in-OH HE WALKED!! HE WALKED IT AND A REFEREE MISSED IT!! Webber brings it into the front court, they have no timeouts remaining-OH HE CALLED TOO MANY TIMEOUTS, it's a technical foul! He called a timeout, Michigan didn't have any! He got by with a walk, he calls a timeout, he doesn't realize that's Michigan's 'too many', and so it will be a technical foul, North Carolina shooting, and the ball."
Are you fucking kidding me? Instead of going into a corner you could have attempted a 3 point shot or passed to another open player. For fucks sake, the refs and the Tar Heels were literally HANDING you the game on a silver platter and you blew it yet again. You are utterly pathetic. Complete and utter garbage. I hope you don't make it this far in the tournament again for another 20 years.
May 1993 haunt you for eternity!!
What a truly...pathetic display. YOU BLEW IT!!!
1994 - After that impressive chokejob, the Fab Five devolve into the Fab Four as Chris Webber fucked off to the NBA Draft. Nonetheless, the remaining 4 Fab Five players lead Michigan to yet another strong regular season finish at 21-6 and the #3 seed in the West Region. They make it back to the Elite Eight only to have their hopes and dreams smashed by Arkansas. President Bill Clinton laughs at your pathetic excuse for a basketball team as his Razorbacks go on to win the National Title. The window is beginning to slam shut...
1995 - The Fab Four has now become the Fab Two as Juwan Howard and Jalen Rose have left for the NBA. The Wolverines barely squeak into the NCAA Tournament as the #9 seed in the Midwest region...only to lose to...fucking Western Kentucky?! In OT?! The hell??!
1996 - The Fab Five era has officially ended at Michigan, but the Wolverines still make it back to the NCAA Tournament with an improved 21-10 record and the #7 seed in the Midwest Region. Only to receive a Lone Star State-sized ass whooping at the hands of Texas in the first round.
1997 - Despite another winning record you miss out on the NCAA tournament for the first time in 6 years. You at least make the NIT, and you win THAT tournament's championship game against Florida State?! I...guess that's impressive. Michigan fans, I hate to say it but this is your team's best moment since 1989. Cherish it. Because you're not gonna like what's coming next.
1997 offseason - Michigan then rewards Steve Fisher's efforts for winning the NIT tournament...by firing him before the start of next season during a scandal...which we will explain next. Let's rewind the tape a bit...
1996 - Michigan has plans to rebuild back into a powerhouse. They decide to recruit an upcoming high school star from Flint named Mateen Cleaves. As he and Maurice Taylor are driving to Ann Arbor, they lose control of their Ford Explorer on M-14 and flip over. Turns out they were going to visit a prominent...University of Michigan booster named Ed Martin. Who apparently supplied players with money...and ran an illegal gambling operation...and a money laundering operation...which are in violation of NCAA rules. Oops. Let's hope the NCAA sweeps this whole thing under the rug...if not then you are totally fucked...
1998 - With Steve Fisher gone your new head coach is Brian Ellerbe. Thanks to stars like "Tractor" Traylor and Louis Bullock the Wolverines finish with a strong 24-8 record. They manage to win another tournament game and move on to the next round...where they are then upset by UCLA.
Now is where the real suffering begins...
1999 - Turns out that Ellerbe's first season was a fluke and your window has now slammed shut on your hands. You're terrible again! You turn into a laughing stock by finishing dead last in the Big Ten.
2000 - You are so trash that you lose in the first round...of the NIT tournament...to the Fighting Irish...trash.
2000 National Championship Game - Remember that Mateen Cleaves guy you tried to recruit? Well, turns out he became a contributor to your rival Michigan State's run to a second National Title. May your suffering continue...
2001 - You finish near the bottom of the Big Ten yet again with a 10-18 record. The team is choking so hard that they tell Brian Ellerbe and his choking ways to fuck off.
But wait, there's more!
2002 - Good news is that the NCAA decides not to put sanctions on you. The bad news is...your University's administration decides to do the NCAA's job for them. As a result of the Ed Martin scandal, University of Michigan administrators decide to vacate your entire 1993 season, as well as each game from the 1995 to the 1999 season. Also, your appearance in the 1992 Final Four has been vacated. Not the entire tournament, just the Final Four. Jesus Christ, even after 1993, the College Basketball world is still sodomizing this team with a chainsaw...
2002, continued - With Brian Ellerbe gone, Michigan decides to recruit the glorious....TOMMY AMAKER...oh Christ, you are so fucked...my condolences...
2004 - You finished with a 18-11 record? At least you made the NIT...and you won the NIT again against Rutgers? Well, I'll be damned, at least it's not all torture.
2006 - You made the NIT tournament again but you lose to South Carolina in the championship game. Please tell me there's a light at the end of the tunnel...soon...
2007 - The Tommy Amaker era is finally over, now get the fuck out of here with your losing.
2007 offseason - It's time for us to hire a real head coach again. This John Beilein guy will do.
2009 - John Beilein's effects on the team are very positive, as thanks to new recruits such as Zack Novak, Stu Douglass and DeShaun Sims, the Wolverines FINALLY make it back to the NCAA tournament after 11 years. They make it in as the #10 seed in the South regional and pull off an upset against Clemson in the first round...but in the second round they are then defeated by Blake Griffin and Oklahoma. You've got promise though. Keep it going.
2011 - After a disappointing 2010 season the Wolverines finally make it back to the NCAA tournament, this time as an #8 seed in the West Region. After pulverizing Tennessee in the first round, they clash with their old foe from years past in Duke in the second round...only to be narrowly defeated in the final seconds. Man, fuck those assholes from Duke...
2012 - Thanks to new recruits Trey Burke, Tim Hardaway Jr., and Jordan Morgan, the Wolverines experience their best season in ages and finish the regular season ranked for the first time in 15 years. They're the #4 seed in the Midwest region...and the lose in the first round...to Ohio. Yes...Ohio. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU LOSE TO A FUCKING MAC TEAM IN THE FIRST ROUND ARE YOU FUCKING SHITTING ME...GET ME THE GODDAMN BLEACH.
2013 - Anyway, let's just look at the fact that the Wolverines just recruited the top class in the country for 2013. New recruits Mitch McGary, Nik Stauskas and Glenn Robinson III join Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr. in forming...the new Fab Five. At least this reincarnation won't be scandal ridden.
2013, continued - Michigan experiences their best season since the Fab Five era as they pull off numerous feats, starting of the season 19-1, being ranked #1 in the AP Poll for the first time in two decades and finishing with a 26-7 regular season record. They are the #4 seed in the South region, and they steamroll past South Dakota State and VCU to reach their first Sweet 16 appearance since 1994.
2013 NCAA Tournament, Sweet 16 - Ugh, you're down by 3 against Kansas in the final seconds...just get it over with-you're not choking? You pulled off the upset in OT? Say it isn't so!
2013 NCAA Tournament, Elite Eight - And then you embarrass Florida and finally make it back to the promised land - your first Final Four appearance in 20 years. And you're facing another tough opponent looking to end their own championship drought in Syracuse. Eh, they made it far enough, it's your time now!
2013 Final Four - You manage to take out Syracuse and you make it back to the National Championship! And you're facing yet another team with a lengthy championship drought in Louisville. Hell, some have listed you as an upset favorite to win the title! Bring it home!
2013 National Championship Game - You're up by 12 in the first half...now finish them!!!
Second Half - What?! WHAT?!! You seriously blew a 12 point lead to a Louisville team that was all but handing you the game?! I...I can't even...just fuck off already. Time to hit the bleach again...YOU BLEW IT!!!
2014 - New year, strong start. You're the #2 seed in the Midwest Region and are heavy favorites to win the title. Duke and Wichita State all choked early so you have a chance to make the Final Four again. Don't disappoint...
2014 NCAA Tournament, Elite Eight - You're up by 10 against an 8th seeded Kentucky team. Finish them off-wait, you blew that lead too? What the fuck is wrong with you and blowing leads to inferior competition?! Well, this bleach ain't gonna drink itself...
2016 - After collapsing in the 2015 season, the team is back in rebuilding mode again, but makes it back to the NCAA Tournament. Though you manage to defeat Tulsa in the First Four you are then pulverized by Notre Dame in the first round. The window is shutting again...wonderful...
2017 - Or not! After a sluggish start, new recruits Jordan Poole, Isaiah Livers, German phenom Moe Wagner, and Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rakman, the Wolverines manage to win the Big Ten tournament and gain an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament as a #7 seed in the Midwest Region. After squeaking by Oklahoma State in the first round, they then get revenge on Louisville for 2013 and return to the Sweet 16. Unfortunately, they are edged out by Oregon, a team that hadn't made the Final Four in almost 80 years. Woof.
2017 offseason - Great news! Turns out that due to a sex scandal involving head coach Rick Pitino, Louisville has been forced to vacate their 2013 title! So I guess you can call yourselves the unofficial champions? At least you don't have to hang your heads in shame anymore...yay?
2018 - You win the Big Ten Tournament yet again and finish the regular season with a 28-7 record. You are the #3 seed in the West Region. Please let this be the year...
2018 NCAA Tournament, Second Round - Ugh, you're down by 2 against Houston? Just get it over wi-
"At mid court, extra pass...'buzzer sounds'...IN IT GOES FOR THE WIN!!! THE THREE POINTER...BY JORDAN POOLE!!!"
You're not choking...
2018 NCAA Tournament, Sweet 16 - You're gonna lose to Texas A&M?! They haven't made it out of the Sweet 16 in their EXISTENCE for god's sake. Don't tell me you're gonna shit the be-you're not choking?
2018 NCAA Tournament, Elite Eight - Are you seriously trying to hand Florida State the game here? Quit playing down to your competition! Do something for once! Beat their asse-you're...not...choking? You made the Final Four? And you're facing the Cinderella team of the decade in Loyola-Chicago? I'll be damned.
2018 Final Four - After being down by 11 to Loyola-Chicago you come back to beat Loyola-Chicago by 12 and ruin Sister Jean's hopes for a second national title for the state of Illinois. You're back in the Championship game, and you're facing a tough opponent in Villanova. Will this be the year you finally break through?!
2018 National Championship Game - And you then proceed to blow yet another lead and get Death Starred by the Wildcats. Your best season since 1989, and you get turned into a laughing stock once again. Like seriously, you couldn't even make a close game out of this? God, you're pathetic. And as a result of all this choking you now have the WORST ever record in the National Championship game of the teams that have won a National Title at 1-6. You are tied with Duke and Kansas for most losses in the National Title game. To quote Asuka from End of Evangelion, "Pathetic." I'm going to combine this bleach with fabric softener now. It's been ages since 1993 now and College Basketball is still sodomizing this team with a Chainsaw.
2019 - Okay, you may be the #3 seed in the West region again but your window is beginning to slam shut now. Please, do SOMETHING!! You don't. You get embarrassed by Texas Tech in the Sweet 16 - a team that hadn't made it past the Sweet 16 in their existence.
And now John Beilein has decided to fuck off to the NBA. Fuck...here come the dark ages again.
2020 - Former Fab Five alum Juwan Howard is your new head coach, and it turns out that he's not that bad. He leads you to a 19-12 start going into the Big Ten tournament...and then COVID-19 hits and the NCAA tells everyone to fuck off. No tournament this year...
And I'm all out of bleach now. Maybe this team can let me down at my funeral like they have for the past decade...
As a Michigan fan I feel completely broken. Years upon years of failure after that one magical season in 1989. Was this team really worth saving? All of the wasted talent, all of the chances they had to finally end the misery...and for what? A hollow claim to a paper championship in 2013 which Louisville vacated. A 1-6 record in the National Championship game. FOUR straight losses in the National Championship game since the 1989 title. Never ending misery thanks to the Curse of Chris Webber.
But to be frank with you guys, I honestly think 2018 and 2019 were indeed Michigan's final chances to win a second national title. And it's beginning to look that way with the recent COVID pandemic, as the Big Ten has just decided to cancel football for the 2020 season. And if more conferences cancel, it will likely mean no college sports PERIOD this year. So the NCAA Tournament could be cancelled yet again. March Madness is at least 90% of the NCAA's budget revenue, and if the NCAA Tournament is cancelled for 2021, we could see not just the NCAA lose tons of money, but many college athletic departments go under. Welcome to what could be the College Sports apocalypse.
And if you think that the Government is going to bail out any of these athletic departments while this country is still overcoming a loss of a third of it's GDP, I have a bridge in Northern Michigan that I'd like to sell you.
There's no way these athletic departments are getting bailouts right after claiming non-profit status, but had the balls to ask the senate for anti-trust exemptions. Total lack of self awareness.
We could witness the college sports version of the Smoot-Hawley act.
If College Sports does return late in 2020 or in 2021, it's going to look very different, dramatically different, and it may be for the worse.
And as a Michigan fan it makes me sad to think that the Wolverines may never win a title in college basketball or football ever again, especially since this pandemic is gonna have major financial ramifications, and potentially on the well known programs.
We could see the end of College Sports in it's current form, or for good. And this will be a miserable time for fans of teams that are suffering from a major title drought like Michigan and others.
Fuck this year. I'm beginning to think our world really did end on December 21, 2012, and we're all just living in a simulation now.

Significant Insider Trading Activity (Last 7 Days)

This is a list of the top 20 companies that experienced the largest change in insider shares in the last seven (7) days. The SEC defines an insider as any officer, director or 10% shareholder. It is not illegal for these people to buy or sell their own shares. In fact, since most of them get paid in stock options, it is expected. However, it is illegal for them to trade on inside information that has not been made public. So for example if there are drug trial results that are bad and not public, insiders cannot dump shares. That said, many people have observed that insiders - in general - seem to have a good track record at timing their purchases. All trades that are marked as part of a 10b5 plan are excluded from this report.

"Popes Three Banks in America" , by Sherman H. Skolnick--Skolnicksreport(July 12th 1999)

----------------------------------------------------------

"POPES THREE BANKS in AMERICA

by Sherman H. Skolnick
At one time the Pope owned three major banks in America, New York, Chicago, and San Francisco. In New York, St. Peter's banker Michael Sindona, ran the Franklin National Bank as a huge gambling device and money laundry. The bank collapsed in 1974 and was taken over by a group of European banks with the Vatican losing supposedly part of their grip.
Sindona was sent to an American prison for fraudulent banking. Later, he was extradited to Italy on more charges. He began talking too much. The Pope silenced him in an Italian jail—murdered with a poisoned cup of coffee. [See: "St.Peter's Banker", by Luigi DiFonzo.] By the way, the same method they used to murder Chicago's first black Mayor, Harold Washington, 1987 and replaced him as Mayor with the Vatican's "man of trust", Richie Daley, son of late Richard J. Daley who had been mayor for some 21 years. Harold when re-elected in 1987 said he was going to take over Commonwealth Edison, the local electric monopoly owned principally by the Vatican, and run it as municipal electricity at a very cheap price to Chicago residents. That was one of several motives to poison Harold Washington. We were the only ones publicizing it through our Cable TV Show later on.
Sindona and his confederate successors also ran, for the Pope, the Continental Bank of Chicago [by about 1996 merged with the Pope's Bank of America], All the Catholic Churches of the Western Hemisphere run their money through THAT bank. After all, the Archbishop of Chicago is also the Treasurer, for the Church, for ALL OF NORTH AMERICA, CENTRAL AMERICA, and SOUTH AMERICA.
In the early 1980s, Continental Bank, through their holding company owed some 20 Billion Dollars to the Japanese including their mafia, the Yakuza who had put in flight capital [hot money]. Continental could not repay, so the Japanese in May, 1984, started a run on the bank and its holding company, Continental Illinois. Result? A consortium of banks, headed by J.P.Morgan and Company, took over— with the Pope losing part but not all of his control. [I was the first to publicly estimate the amount of the bank run, which turned out to be quite accurate.]
The Morgan banks are the front for British Royalty and the Queen, who for over 100 prior years always had a director sitting to supervise Continental. Through Continental Bank, however, the Vatican continued to oversee Panama's General Noriega, and his joint secret business deals with George Herbert Walker Bush. So, when the U.S. invaded Panama,1989, Noriega naturally sought refuge in the Vatican papal office and branch of the Vatican Bank in Panama. The U.S. Military used psychological warfare, including super hard-rock music, to drive Noriega out.
[In his book entitled "In God's Name", David Yallop tells how Italian newspaper editors criticized the Pope for doing nothing about Continental Bank and their links to the mafia. Yallop documents how the previous Pontiff,Pope John Paul 1st,opposing the mafia, was murdered after 33 days in office ]
The Justice Department's record-grabbers have descended on Continental Bank, seeking to destroy incriminating records that would put President Bush in the same jail cell with his CIA business partner, General Noriega. By the way, Panama, under General Noriega, was the ONLY country in the Western Hemisphere run by a dark-skinned person. Noriega was popular with the bulk of those in Panama, who are people of color. It was only the small, white aristocracy there that wanted him removed. They used the branches of worldwide banks there to skim-off loot from dope and gun running. Noriega was really just a small-time, semi¬independent tyrant.
Helping supervise Continental Bank has been the Vatican's "man of trust"[trusted to keep their business secrets], Chicago Federal Appeals Judge Walter J. Cummings, Jr. [he died about 1999]. For many years Cummings was chief judge of that Court made up primarily of banker-judges. Judge Cummings steered cases on to his fellow banker-judges who do NOT disqualify themselves in cases involving their financial interests. Guess who wins in their crooked court? [Cummings was replaced as Chief Judge by Richard A. Posner. See our story, "Chief Crook Enters Microsoft Mess".] ( https://archive.org/stream/GreatestSecrets20thCenturyIII_201903/CHIEF%20CROOK%20ENTERS%20MICROSOFT%20CASE )
For many years the major owners of Bank of America and their holding company Bank America, were the Jesuits and the Vatican, and their long¬ time cronies, the Rothschilds. Like Continental Bank up to 1984, they owed tens of Billions of Dollars to the Japanese mafia, the Yakuza who own most of the other sizeable banks in California. In the late 1980s, Bank of America was faced with a run, so they have quietly given over most of the control to the Japanese Yakuza.
Although the Pope has lost much of the control of the three banks in America, the Pontiff continues as the major owner in nuclear power utility firms in the U.S., including Commonwealth Edison and Florida Power [through a Dutch front for the Vatican, called Robeco.] Under the Atomic Energy Act, it is illegal for a FOREIGN entity, such as the Vatican, to own nuclear facilities in America. The law is not enforced. See: my story "The Electric Scandal".( https://archive.org/details/theelectricscandalshermanskolnick )"

The 2018 Fulmer Cup Awards for Criminal Achievements in D1 Football

The 2018 Fulmer Cup™

Welcome to the Final Standings for the World's Most Prestigious College Football Award Based on Criminal Record, run by /CFB and based out of /TheFulmerCup.
There are over 20,000 Division 1 college football players. As a whole, they have crime rates much lower than the general population. However when they do get in trouble (as 66 did this offseason), they get a lot of attention. For that reason we have The Fulmer Cup™.
The Fulmer Cup is a parody award that tracks the criminal achievements of various college football programs during the offseason and declares a "winner". It is open to all Division 1 football programs (FBS & FCS), and points are awarded based on the level of crime (more details below). The Fulmer Cup season started the minute the national title game is finished and ended the minute of the the first game of FBS Week 0, this year on August 25.
Without further ado, here are your 2018 winners:

The 13th Annual Fulmer Cup Rankings (FINAL)

NOTE: Team rankings require a minimum of 2 playecoaches; if a team only has one their score is marked as “NR” for Not Ranked, however if anyone else on the team gets cited for so much as jaywalking they'll qualify for the team competition and be ranked.
Rank Program Pts Conf
1 Rutgers 54 Big Ten
2 Kennesaw State 26 Big South
3 Bowling Green 18 MAC
4t Iowa State 12 Big 12
4t Illinois 12 Big Ten
6 Chattanooga 10 SoCon
7t Florida State 9 ACC
7t Arkansas 9 SEC
9 Hawai'i 8 Mountain West
10t Mississippi State 7 SEC
10t Kansas 7 Big 12

In Brief

This was generally a quiet offseason compared to the last few. The total number of players receiving charges we've seen in each of the 5 years we've administered the Fulmer Cup are:
Year Players Charged
2014 111
2015 123
2016 116
2017 136
2018 67
There are a few possibilities for such a dramatic reduction. It's possible that it was just an abnormally quiet offseason, it did feel that way for much of it at least. While half the normal case load seems quite low, it may be just to random chance. It's also possible that the growing notoriety of The Fulmer Cup has motivated D1 compliance departments and players to follow the rules and stay out of trouble. It's probably self-congratulatory to say we've helped here, but it is a possibility. It's also possible that we just weren't as thorough in finding charges this year. With a growing userbase this seems a bit unlikely, but it's also possible.
A few major storylines to follow this year. Rutgers has become the first team in Fulmer Cup history to win the team award for a second time, and they did so with teamwork and following a storyline from last year. While Alcorn State was awarded last year's Fulmer Cup, Florida had 9 players receive 54 total felony charges that were earned during the offseason but not charged until after the season had started. These Florida players were charged with misusing university provided debit cards for credit card fraud, and while the charges came too late to win the cup, they were given a Special Achievement Award after the fact.
A crew of 8 Rutgers players learned from Florida, and were charged with a very similar crime. These charges came in under the 2018 deadline. Brendan DeVera, K.J. Gray, Malik Dixon, Edwin Lopez, Kobe Marfo, Syhiem Simmons, C.J. Onyechi, Naijee Jones collectively netted 23 charges that included promoting organized street crime, money laundering, conspiracy to commit theft by deception, and fraudulent use of credit cards. This case also uncovered that Lopez had been separately charged with possession of marijuana, unlawful possession of a gun, and unlawfully concealing a handgun earlier in the offseason. They say that great artists steal, and stealing Florida's novel mechanism of stealing led Rutgers to a championship this year. It's a much more white collar crime to win the cup for than their 2015 spree of charges centering around conspiracy to commit a riot, but a win is a win for the world's oldest college football team.
The leader for most of the offseason was Kennesaw State, a team entering only its 4th year in program history. A pair of their DBs, Jai'len Edwards and Akebren Ralls were charged with armed robbery, and Ralls additionally ran an illegal gambling house.
North Alabama deserves special merit as they promoted to D1 halfway through the offseason, and only had one qualifying player, but the 3rd most points overall this offseason. Probably not the look they wanted their first year in D1.
3rd place Bowling Green deserves special recognition for consistency: they had 4 players receive charges over 5 separate months through the course of the offseason. No other team had charges in more than 3 months.
We also had a pair of charges bookend the offseason. LSU LB Tyler Taylor was charged with conspiracy to commit a crime serving as a getaway driver for an armed robbery, just hours before the CFP Final. Kansas OL Malik Clark was charged with a DUI just hours after the first games of week 0. Neither of these offenses are eligible, but are worth special notice.
Notable, but did not qualify for team category (only one player arrested):
  • North Alabama: 23 points
  • USC: 18 points
  • Utah State: 15 points
  • Florida: 15 points
  • Wisconsin: 14 points
  • LSU: 12 points
A total of 14 teams qualified for the cup with multiple players, and a total of 42 teams had at least one player receiving points.

Other Special Awards

The Ellis T. Jones III Award for Individual Achievement

Given to the individual player who contributes the most points to his team during the season, OR has the most incredible incident that resulted in Fulmer Cup points. Named after Ellis T. Jones III, a near-mythical student-athlete-criminal who caused an almost immediate rule change to the Cup (that a team requires at least two to qualify).

Individual Rankings (FINAL)

Rank Pts Name Team Position
1 23 Khadedryck Todd North Alabama OL
2 18 Joseph Lewis USC WR
3t 15 Akebren Ralls Kennesaw State DB

Additionally here is this year's All-Fulmer Cup Team! This is evaluated based on position groups, The First Team is:
Position Player Team Points Position Player Team Points
QB Steven Duncan WKU 6 DL Matthew Kenty Tennessee Tech 7
RB Isaiah Cobb Chattanooga 6 DL Kamilo Tongamoa Iowa State 7

OL Sean Foster Iowa State 5 DB Justin Watkins Florida 15
OL Tristan Wirfs Iowa 4 DB Edwin Lopez Rutgers 13
OL Michael Story Mississippi State 3 DB Jai'len Edwards Kennesaw State 11
We had to run a bit of an unorthodox offensive scheme this year. Offensive Linemen for the 3rd consecutive year have been one of the best behaved groups in college football, and we only had 4 qualifying OL this year. Our First team offense consists of 4 OL, 1 QB, 2 RB, 1 TE, and 3 WR. No kickers or punters qualified this year.

The Coach Mike Haywood "Leading by Example" Award

Given to the coach or administrator who earns the most points and/or gets fired in the most embarrassing fashion. This award does not have to be awarded annually and is completely up to the Committee (also, after leaving the profession in 2010, Mike Haywood is back in coaching at FCS Texas Southern and does qualify for his own award).
This year's award goes to Zach Smith, whose case upended the end of the offseason and is still ongoing with large implications for Ohio State including the suspension of Head Coach Urban Meyer for 3 games. Zach Smith was formally charged with criminal trespass on May 12, 2018 at his ex-wife's apartment, but the investigation that resulted from that uncovered years of alleged abuse dating back to 2009, and other sordid details including sexual relations with Ohio State staffers in Ohio State offices, having thousands of dollars of sex toys delivered to his office, and photographic transmissions of his member from inside the White House. It's an unfortunate story that hasn't fully resolved yet.
6 other coaches were charged with crimes this offseason, including brand new D3 Football program Finlandia's HC Robert Boss, South Dakota State HC John StiegelMeier, Michigan Director of Performance Fergus Connolly, D2 Tuskegee Assistant Ramone Nickerson, Georgia Associate Equipment Manager Kevin Purvis, and Louisville TE Coach Chris Klenakis.

The Paul Dee Memorial Award for High Profile Compliance

"Because high-profile athletes demand high-profile compliance."
Awarded to the conference that, through the fortuitousness of group effort, has the highest point total.

Conference Rankings (FINAL)

Conf Points Conf Points
Big Ten 103 Sun Belt 6
SEC 84 Southland 4
Big South 49 Big Sky 1
Mountain West 39 CAA 0

MAC 18 MEAC 0
ACC 13 Missouri Valley 0
Southern 10 Northeast 0

Conference USA 6 SWAC 0
In Review:
Big Ten beat out the SEC! FBS continued to generally outperform FCS, and every FBS conference was on the board. The Sun Belt was last in FBS, and the ACC was last among the P5.

The Switzer Sweep

This award goes to that rare team that manages to winning a National Championship, pull in a top recruiting class, and win The Fulmer Cup all in one calendar year. Like the national title according to some, this year was a complete split.

More about the Fulmer Cup:

The Fulmer Cup was created in 2006 by Spencer Hall of Every Day Should Be Saturday, and run by his website for six years. In 2014, he permitted /CFB to take over the award and this is the fourth year of its time under control of /CFB and its dedicated sub-section, /TheFulmerCup. Points are awarded by members of The Fulmer Cup Committee, made up of members of /CFB.
The Fulmer Cup is a parody award, like the Razzies and Ig Nobel Prize, meant to track the criminal achievements of various college football programs during the offseason and declare a "winner". It is open to all Division 1 football programs (FBS & FCS), and points are awarded based on the level of crime. The Fulmer Cup season starts the minute the national title game is finished and ends before the first kickoff, this year on Saturday, Aug 25. Winners are crowned in team, conference, and individual award categories.
Players qualify from the moment they enroll at the school (no commits or other recruits) until the depart or are dismissed from the team. For a crime to count, the player has to be on the team, i.e. not dismissed for unrelated things before the crime was committed (but if they were dismissed for a crime that they were later charged for, it counts). On very special occasions, a coach or athletic director arrested, cited or charged would count (as they go up the chain of command): Those are special occasions, and are left entirely up to the discretion of the Committee.
Points must be documented. What is "documentation"? A court record, arrest record, or news article describing the citation, charges, and/or arrest. No arrest, citation, or charges: no points.

More on /CFB & The Fulmer Cup Committee

/CFB ("R-C-F-B") is the college football section of reddit.com, hosting its own community of over 450,000 subscribers and section traffic of over 1M unique hits and 15m total hits per month during the season while also maintaining a Twitter account, @RedditCFB (currently down recently resurrected) with a following of over 130k. It hosts popular game threads, over 100 AMA (interviews) with notable CFB personalities, and does a number of charitable projects. It is run by an independent team of volunteer moderators. /TheFulmerCup is out of a separate subreddit to permit an easier tally of qualifying incidents; it has its own Twitter account, @TheFulmerCup.
The current members of the Fulmer Cup Committee:
This year's Golden Snitch Award goes to the user who submitted the most incident reports that wasn't on the Committee, so congratulations to armadaos_! They submitted 6 reports this year.
