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.

The term vile has been thrown around by HTownND
by those who were upset that Jack's name was brought up in regards to this.
Those people should be, Clockwork Orange style, forced to read this over and over to truly understand what vile means.
That our AD helped run an organization where this happened and was allowed to happen is simply unconscionable. That we are still defending him and hunkering down hoping it will pass is a stain of embarrassment that cannot be washed off with national titles (which by the way, ain't happening under the current program setup) and football wins (when not vacated). This shame will last a generation.
