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.

That's a point of contention right now. by No Right Turn on Red
A lot of FCS coaches/schools feel you either need to be in or out this spring. Those schools opting out of their conference's season but scheduling a few random games are trying to get the best of both worlds: an extended spring practice (way more than the 15 practices they would get for fully opting out), without putting the physical stress of a 6-8 game season on their players.
Coaches believe this path will incentivize more schools to partially opt out this season, which puts the championship in jeopardy.
I think there will be a compromise where these teams opting out may get a few more practices than normal, but not the entire spring like those playing this year.
