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.

I think we're going to see some major, major changes soon by jt

they have to get the image/likeness stuff figured out, but realistically I see it moving more towards the NFL model for playoffs, etc.

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of schools break from the NCAA and form their own superconference/league. All you really need is the top 20-30 programs and you can set it up however you want.

There are a ton of schools right now in the NCAA that are living off of the top 10-15%. I've actually been to a lot of non-Notre Dame games in the past year and it's amazing how some places are just ghost towns and likely have the same or even smaller attendance as a good D 2 school.
