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.

Here are a couple of possibilities: by MPG

1. Alli Campbell reportedly has a full court behind her family's home. All of her teammates could travel there at their own expense, set-up tents, play hoops by day, and sing contemporary campfire songs by night. ND coaches could not attend, nor could ND contribute anything to this venture.

2. The players could come to South Bend and do something similar, except for the fact that there are no public basketball facilities available at this time. Baskets have been taken off the backboards on campus and in the public parks. Again, ND could not cover any of the players expenses and I doubt that coaches could participate. Could they watch from a distance? I don't know.

3. What if all ND summer classes are offered on-line? My guess is that the players could work with coaches for the number of hours permitted by the NCAA during a summer session, provided that ND opened its athletic facilities and allowed coaches to return to campus. As of today, ND has not opened even the golf courses, despite the fact that the local public courses have been open and doing well on nice days with no health problems reported.

I look forward to learning what was decided today. As of this moment, there are no on-campus learning, housing, or dining options. It has been bittersweet to see scattered groups of seniors posing for graduation pictures on campus this week; a literal case of "all dressed up with no place to go."
