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.

Not sure I understand what you mean. Because of by Stonebreaker42
conference tie-ins, a likely unranked UVA team may play in the Orange instead of a team like ND as in years past. ND loses millions in bowl payout (based on last years numbers, there’s a $3mm difference just between Camping World & Citrus, so I’d imagine the Orange is a very big number) and the bowl loses millions of viewers & potential advertising dollars in future years because of assuredly poor ratings this year.
Not to mention playing a lower team in a lower bowl that has potentially twice as many losses is a lose lose proposition. If camping world is our only option, ND should have some pride and stay home.
