I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known that I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
-You've made your decision then?
-Not remotely! Because Iocane comes from Australia. As everyone knows, Australia is entirely peopled with criminals. And criminals are used to having people not trust them as you are not trusted by me. So I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.
-Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.
-Wait 'til I get going! Where was I?
-Australia.
-And you must have suspected that I would have known the poison's origin, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me!
-You're just stalling now.
-You'd like to think that, wouldn't you? You've beaten my giant, which means that you're exceptionally strong...so you could have put the poison in your own cup, depending on your strength to save you, so clearly I cannot choose the wine in front of you. But you've also bested my Spaniard, which means you must have studied and in studying you must have learned that man is mortal, so you wouldhave put the poison as far from yourself as possible, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
-You're trying to trick me into giving away something. It won't work.
-It has worked! You've given everything away! I know where the poison is!

DUDE-you have watched the Princess Bride about a 100 times too many . People often resort to sylogism as a last resort and you may say ''it is how title ix is interpretated '' or whatever -but the fact that the first thing people think of when another program bites the dust is TITLE IX should tell you all you need to know '
I wrote my Term Paper for my HPER minor at IU on T IX , I stated then that it would be the death knell for non revenue sports , and those sports are falling .
Personally , I think all sports should be intramural and let the kids get on with getting an education . That way the NCAA couldn't get involved and if you really wanted to prove your basketball team is the best in the land -let the Mafia pay for it -their the ones profiting from both ends .
Remember the first sport to bite the dust has as fine a history as wrestling -Men's gymnastics.
