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.

it doesn't cost anywhere near that much by jt
35k per year at a public institution? No way. Perhaps half of that, including all of the other stuff beyond tuition. I will use several schools that I am relatively familiar with--U of NM, NMSU, U of Colorado, CSU and Wyoming. For a student with even decent grades and/or limited financial ability, you're looking at maybe 10k per year. We had one guy at NMSU figure out that he could have actually been going to school for free without football simply because of his grades and how desperate they are for kids.
At Notre Dame? Certainly. And that's the point that should have been made during recruiting over and over and over and over until the coaches and administrators were blue in the face.
