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.

This. And are their students on campus? by ndaero93
Of course this is 100% about money, but if football can play, other sports should clearly be able to play. If you can play football, but not run cross country or field a golf team, there is something seriously wrong.
And for me, the students on campus is another area that I do find questionable. If the schools can't have their student's on campus, then how can they justify fielding athletic teams this fall?
Sure, they may not be able to be 100% in person classes or have housing at 100% regular capacity, but if all the dorms are closed/locked and 100% of classes are on-line - it does raise questions of priorities.
