true, however the Kansas city area has given very little coverage. The national news outlets like to follow pro, it they would give some attention to d2 maybe crowds would pick up. I would much rather to watch the d2 championship or the d1a semi finals over the sewer bowls. or in the case of last week Ariz. stomp Missouri in basketball. NCAA could and should put pressure on the national media for more coverage

The "sewer" bowls, or less important ones are still very important to schools for the money they generate to keep as many sports as possible. It can be the difference in softball for the next season. The SEC has 12 teams going to bowls (maybe 13) that the entire conference will benefit. there aren't too many bowls and they all are necessary for the financial health of all the difference sports for schools depending on it. What they call cup cake games in D1 football are greatly appreciated...

this is a bit stupid, think about it. Citi contracts with mastercard or visa, the stores contract with mastercard or visa not the bank. If Citi was able to do this, then customers wouldn't know if their card worked or not at stores and cause major confusion. This is all just a propaganda move and means nothing.

Re: New Sanders Bill Would Break Up Big Banks

Red Baron ·
I have to agree with dire if these banks know that they won't be bailed out by taxpayers they will act a lot more responsibly. Also I'm skeptical of any one institution no matter how large of being able to bring down the economy. That said breaking up the likes of Citi JP Morgan and Bank of America wouldn't be such a bad thing.

Re: New Sanders Bill Would Break Up Big Banks

Please re-read my original statement. Nowhere did I state the banks should be left as is. I stated that the size and, more importantly, the reason they failed, was the bankers knew the government would bail them out. Now, a politician is advocating a solution that government caused. Ironic, to say the least. Reducing the size of the banks doesn't concern me. Leaving policies in place that will cause the same problems again do. Failing banks should be taken over by the government (as...

O No it really comes down to what the voters in a few swing states like Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia do. Alabama ain't voting for Barry no matter what and California would reject Romney likewise. The effect of the Tea Party, Birthers, Occupy this or that really won't count very much. As for who really matters did you catch any of Jamie Dimon's testimony before Congress? JP Morgan, Citi, Bank of America and their ilk call the shots. Everything else is pretty much sideshow.

I am curious how the championship game goes now that is in Kansas City? I have checked the KCSTAR this week and have not seen one article about it.

We should all do something I started doing a while back to help save the Post Office. When we get those annoying adds in the mail from Citi Bank, and those religious charlatans begging for money, most come with a stamped , self-addressed envelope. Tear off any identifying printed material, and take everything else, add some junk mail that doesn't have a self stamped envelope, and local newspaper adds and virtually everything else that will fit into the envelope, and send it back to them.

Re: Citi's good news leads market to best day of '09

AlabamaSon ·
You guys have got it all wrong. WE did it. Remember Citi got bailout money. So the bailout money turned into a profit and some high paid folks made a little money. Please extend your hand, reach behind you, and pat yourself on the back. Whether you agree with one guy or the other is irrelevant. The market hasn't really recovered and is a long way from getting back to where it was. The dips are probably not over. Citi was just a lightning strike in the middle of a cold dark storm.

Re: bama vs utah in the sugar

OriginalBama ·
Should be a good game. Utah is undefeated which is no small feat, regardless of what conference you play in. They run the spread like Florida. I read yesterday the comparison between Florida and Utah spreads were similar but Florida offense was the spread on steroids. That didnt mean they were, just used steroids as an example. The football world has said the SEC was down this year, which is true to a certain extent. But the SEC still managed to get eight teams in bowls this year.

Markets run on 4 precepts: fear, greed, panic and instinct. Not on logic. The press release by S$P has had no effect on the market and treasuries were actually rising Wednesday. Stocks were slumping on the news that Citi, BofA, JPM, GS and others were going to miss profits as they continue to try and shed the trillions of bad mortgages they are holding.

Re: Clinton's fault?

Here's the rest since you didn't click the link 3 big mistakes Clinton bashing -- like Bush bashing -- is often a cop-out, but Clinton made critical mistakes when it came to dealing with the financial industry. Three poor decisions stand out. The first, in 1997, was a change to the amount of taxes a homeowner had to pay on the sale of his or her home, up to $500,000. That change effectively made buying and selling a home for profit the most compelling investment in America by tax standards.

Overpaid based on what? If you believe in free market economics then there is no such thing as overpaid or underpaid. Do you want gov't to determine how much someone should make? It sounds to me like you do. However, I will add that if you are running a company that has over $300b in annual revenues then a $23m comp package does not seem out of line.

The CEOS pay scale works the same as the cashiers. There is a SMALL pool of people who are talented enough to run a multibillion dollar company, so there is a high DEMAND for those folks and their pay scales reflect that. If there were more folks that could do that job, their wages would fall. Its the same with high paid athletes. There is a high demand for them (people paying to go to the game) so they are paid well.
