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.

Does anyone know how ND stacks up against by tex29
other teams in terms of utilizing data and player-development technology? For those of you who subscribe to the Athletic (which I highly recommend), there is an article discussing the technology used by teams like Vanderbilt, Wake Forest, and Missouri—none of which has a significant advantage over Notre Dame in terms of resources. To me, it seems like a no-brainer, especially for a team in the Midwest that has limited practice opportunities in the winter. The technology is not prohibitively expensive—an edgertronic camera, for instance, is around $5-7k. And Notre Dame has no shortage of talented students (or alumni) who would, no doubt, love to have the opportunity to crunch the numbers for the coaches. Does anyone back here know the state of our analytical abilities?
