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's pretty tenuous as it is by ravenium

I get it, I took Marketing with the football players. Some courses are sort of "easier" than others intentionally. It happens. But it's still a far cry from people majoring in PE or General Studies.

But for every group like that you have a student that takes the harder road. I think Jabari Holloway had like a 3.85 in Engineering. Sure, he gets personal tutors but you have to apply some elbow grease to do that and be a starting player.

Honestly, if we're going to start paying people big bucks, then why make that contingent on being a student? It's sort of an insult to the students and the other sports.

I take exception to your "title 9 boogeyman" on behalf of him. You continually state anyone wanting anything other than your scheme is propping up corrupt ADs, which is certainly not the case. "AD boogeyman" maybe?
