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.

Post being replied to

1) It is true. by No Right Turn on Red

2) I'm not sure why it's curious. The article, published three weeks after the death of George Floyd, was obviously about Kevin Warren, who Thamel describes as "arguably the most influential and powerful minority in all of college athletics." So it makes sense the focus of the article was on him and what he's doing in the Big Ten.
3) Here are what other leagues are doing for voting initiatives and race and social justice:
a) Pac-12
b) Big 12
c) SEC
d) ACC
e) Big East 1
f) Big East 2
g) AAC
h) MWC

And so on. These initiatives are completely independent of and have no effect on conferences' decisions whether or not to play this fall. There is no conspiracy here.
