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.

Semi-OT: Will A10 be the next conference to sponsor by tf86
Men's lacrosse?
Strictly speculation on my part, as I haven't heard anything to that effect. What is not speculation, however, is that St. Bonaventure plans to add men's lacrosse in 2019. That will bring the number of full A10 members playing men's lacrosse to four: UMass (currently plays lacrosse in CAA), Richmond (SoCon), and St. Joe's (NEC). Seems to me that with those numbers, it makes sense for the A10 at least to explore the possibility of adding men's lacrosse. Of course, they'll need an AQ bid to make it worth their while, but Cleveland State (independent, just completed first year as D1 program) and Detroit (currently playing lacrosse in the MAAC) might make sense as affiliate members.
