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.

Title IX can be overcome -add Women's hockey or wrestling by NDoggie78
I know, even bigger gift needed. But should it always be about money? Plenty of other sports don't operate in the black. Look at all the sports in which Stanford participates, and their football program doesn't generate the income ND's football program does
And as stanford_07 points out, wrestling is a sport in which our aspirational peers participate, a sport we once had before Title IX, and if I remember correctly, a donor DID earmark money for the program but it got hijacked.
Other football greats who also were exceptional wrestlers - Mike Fanning and the Golics
