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.

How would you have the first... by FL_Irish
...clue about what they require? Are you aware, for example, that there are non-revenue sports that compete in both the Fall and Spring semesters?
Lay your cards on the table. Both and I jt are of the opinion that is fairly obvious you have no meaningful exposure to Division I athletics based on some of your statements. Prove us wrong. What is your exposure? Which of the sports do not require a full-time year round commitment?
Do you have any actual evidence to offer? Or are we still stuck in the land of what you "truly believe"?
