This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Okay, but at the same time, don't be disingenuous by chicos bail bonds
about the reasons behind decisions. I think it's fair to say we as alumni and/or supporters of ND athletics are often fed a line of crap about why something is done or not done.
When you are talking about an athletic program that is supported in some ways by individual donor contributions, I do believe it is reasonable at times to be given honest assessments of the status of ND athletics. In that sense, it's different than a business which generates revenue from sources other than individual support and often times where there is no emotional ties to the business.
