A quick definition of simony:

Simony is when someone gives or receives money or gifts in exchange for a higher position in the church. This is against the rules and is considered a very bad thing. It's named after a man named Simon Magus who tried to buy spiritual powers. If someone is caught doing simony, they can lose their right to choose who gets a job in the church. It's also against the law to make any deals involving simony.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Simony is the illegal practice of buying or selling spiritual promotion or positions within the church. This includes buying or selling a benefice (a position in the church) or the right to present clergy to a vacant benefice.

For example, if a person pays money to a bishop in exchange for being appointed to a high-ranking position within the church, that is considered simony. Similarly, if a person pays money to be appointed as a priest in a particular church, that is also simony.

Simony is named after Simon Magus, a biblical figure who tried to buy the power of the Holy Spirit from the apostles. The practice is considered a serious offense within the church and is often accompanied by perjury (lying under oath).

no i think there should be a Law School combine with all new drills except there is still the 40 yard dash
and a sub 4.5 gets you into any t14
LSAT can be one of the drills

So all the D1 athletes will get into a T-14. What else is new?
@TheAdoptedOne: that is called "Dean Poker Night" lol
@ClockworkBlue: I feel like most people could train for the 40 for the same amount of time as they do the LSAT and get close to sub 5 which would be equivalent to a 167+
