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.

Good article in the Athletic about it by ndaero93

I know it is paywalled, but here are a couple points made if you don't have access:
Title: Staples: No Dabo, Florida State is not ducking you and your team

Gist:
1. Dabo is actually trying to avoid playing FSU on 12/12 (just as was stated here)
2. If ND takes care of business, they also should NOT need to play Wake on 12/12 if Clemson is off that week. It would be tough for the ACC to justify making ND play but not Clemson and ND has a right to raise and push that issue.
