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.

Ohio State poised to jump in with both feet by TWO

Ohio State football is a monster program in a major city at a university with a huge alumni base. Ohio State recruiting director Mark Pantoni made note of that on his Twitter account Wednesday hours after the NCAA proposed allowing players to make outside endorsement money. The proposal needs to be voted on in January, the details need to be ironed out and there are plenty of questions about ways this could be abused by some schools or unfairly limited by the NCAA.

But, Ohio State’s pitch was clear -- if you’re a major college football prospect, and you’re preparing to enter a world where you can cash in during college, then Columbus has an awful lot to offer.
