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.

"subsidizing women's sports" by jt
why should the football players be concerned with that?
I'm not sure what transpiration is, but that's an interesting line item. 9 million dollars a year for that seems odd, you would have thought I might have heard of it.
And how exactly is paying them more insulting to the student body? How is it any business of the student body?
You seem to be very concerned about what amount of money other people make, which I find odd. Why would you begrudge someone the opportunity to make more money? Do you feel that their talents belong to the state or something? Would you be more comfortable with a socialist or communist economy?
