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.

Gene Corrigan kept Notre Dame out of the Big East in the 1980s because it was the dominant men's basketball conference of the era, and adding Notre Dame would have made it even moreso.
Corrigan was an ACC man and maybe knew he was always going back there. He wasn't about to strengthen the Big East any further.
Yes, he was a fine AD, but let's hold off on the hagiography. His action here resulted in a lost decade-plus for Notre Dame men's basketball and delayed women's basketball ascent.
