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 not my definition of full time, you're not by jt

understanding. That's your definition of full time, which is more stringent than the IRS' definition. You're completely clueless--go look up the actual definition of full time and come back to me. Or don't. Either is fine with me. I find it humorous that you claim that athletes shouldn't get money but yet provide no alternative (other than pulling money from endowments for more scholarships) as to whom should get more money. I can only conclude that you feel that Gene Smith, Jack Swarbrick, Brian Kelly, and guys like that deserve the money. Great. You can keep propping up those kinds of guys. Does not bother me.

You are entitled to your opinion about my claims, that's fine. I don't care one way or the other if you believe me. If it bothers you so and you think that I am exaggerating, feel free to click the "report post" button and type a message to board ops. They know me and how to get in touch with me.
