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.

While I don't like Crossroads, I don't think there is much by 1978Irish

to "recover from". Worst case scenario is there are no football games to watch from the sky-boxes or no one wants to buy the sky-box seats. Even then, they have the 3 buildings which I assume were paid for primarily with donations.

They will keep using the buildings for their purposes. Maybe they didn't "need" them (how many of the incredible number of buildings ND has built did they really need) and maybe it is stupid to have the student center so far away from the dorms at a school that requires on campus living for 3 full years, but the buildings are still very nice.

I said it when they built it, but it looks to me like the buildings were built so they could demo the stadium and have a nice quad between them. I wonder if that was the long term goal any way.

I would be surprised if big time ND football dies quickly. 20 years from now, maybe, but for now it will probably be business as usual if we fix the virus.
