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 going to be an interesting six years by El Kabong
That's when the new CFP contract (and a lot of the other media rights contracts for conferences) run out, which should be just about the right amount of time for the powers that be at Southern Cal and UCLA to realize traveling to Piscataway, New Jersey, to play volleyball and soccer games is total crap.
All of the conference-ally mis-matched schools finally will come to the conclusion football needs to be its own entity and handle its own whatevers, and the top football programs will disconnect from the conference model and put together their own league. In the wake of this decision, everyone will re-organize into conferences/organizations that make much more sense for their school, thereby reducing the ridiculous costs that will have sprung up in the meantime.
