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.

Awesome article. ND will benefit along with Arike-she along by Domerduck

with her teammates embody the "what will you fight for" ND brand. Other sports can leverage this and this continues to enlarge the power of the ND brand. Having our athletes have this type of benefit only helps us recruit the best who want to excel in other arenas. We certainly have had ND athletes use their fame to advance other causes . Corey Robinson's "One shirt-One Body" (linked) is another example and his fame (both from his father but also as an ND student athlete) helped expand that. I think these types of forums and opportunities, whether fun or philanthropic, help ND be a special place and wonderful choice for our recruits to be become part the Notre Dame family.
