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.

I don't think anyone is denying that players may be eating by MrE

"in the hallway." Although, my follow-up questions would be:

1) how many players, how many times?
2) are players required now to all eat at the same time creating a numbers game bottleneck?
3) what is the existing capacity/square footage and what additional space is required.

I also don't think anyone is denying football players are eating fast food on occasion. I had lunch at Duncan last summer on a drive to Ohio. A table of 5-6 freshmen players were next to me and eating Chik Fil A.

My follow-up questions to that would be:
1) does ND have an issue that other schools do not? Do players at Michigan and Georgia, et al. never eat fast food, in other words?
2) does ND have an accountability or commitment issue with its players (I doubt it, but is that what ND is saying when they push the story that fast food eating is a reason for building a $100M edifice)?
