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.

To a large degree you are correct by Section12

but the question then must be asked. Why is Mark Few still at Gonzaga. He's passed on numerous jobs that would have paid him a hell of a lot more money likely 2 or 3 times what he's making. Still he decides he wants to make less and live in Spokane (South Bend of the west) Why? Part of the answer lies in the fact that Basketball is Gonzaga's cash cow and as such gets the coach nearly anything he needs to be successful. In the wrong hands that would be dangerous but Gonzaga found a rare individual in Few and have done everything in their power to keep him. In my lifetime Notre Dame has never shown any loyalty to a basketball coach. Johnny Dee? Rubbed out. Digger? Scheduled out. John McCleod? Kicked to the curb despite having donated a million bucks to the university. The Dead Guy is the only one who left on his own terms.
