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.

Another admirable display of the NCAA's sound judgment by 105Marquette

NCAA suspends the Ferris State head coach for one game after some players smoked cigars in the locker room following their second consecutive D-II title.

The kicker? It's not that the NCAA bans tobacco use (Joe Burrow lit up a cigar after LSU's title game). It's that the Texas high school stadium in which the D-II game was held has a no-tobacco policy. So basically the NCAA is enforcing a local high school district's rule.

I get that the NCAA teams were essentially guests in this stadium, but a nominal fine would've gotten the message across.
