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.

TN fans expect nothing to happen. by Domer84
Listening to sports radio here is instructive of the SEC mindset. The TN fans and the radio guys all expect that there will be few if any penalties for the program out of this. They argue that all the bad acts were committed by the previous coaching staff and "why should we penalize the current staff and players". What BS. Of course, some of those players are still around.
And you are right. No one cares about people, even coaches, paying players anymore. But God forbid a girlfriend writes a paper for a player or goes to a luncheon...
