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.

ND's Kate (Sobrero) Markgraf Hired as First USWNT GM by dillon77
ND alum Kate (Sobrero) Markgraf has reportedly been hired as the first-ever general manager of the U.S. Women's National Team, according to several published reports (one of which is linked below).
Her first, and perhaps most important, order of business is to lead a search and hire a new coach for the USWNT to replace departing Jill Ellis. There's a degree of urgency because the USWNT, coming off the World Cup win this summer, has to get ready for the Summer Olympics in Tokyo next summer.
Kate, of course, had a great playing career, both at ND and as a long-time defensive stalwart for the USWNT. I've enjoyed her commentary both as an in-game analyst and studio guest.
Great to see ND representation at the "C" levels of women's soccer in the U.S.
Best of luck, Kate.
