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.

Thoughts on Ivies, Loyalties and Tufts by dillon77

Thanks for the summary from the UVA board...interesting.

A few thoughts/questions for you.

- Ivies. A quarter century ago, Dom Starsia left his alma mater, Brown, to to go UVA. Tillman left Harvard to take over Maryland. Sowell left Dartmouth to go to St. John's/Stony Brook/Navy, etc. Recently, the Ivies are putting more money/endowing these spots (like a lot of schools).
Do you think folks would automatically jump from the Ivies, particularly when you double dip it with...

- Loyalty. Lars Tiffany is also a Brown graduate and seems to have everything he needs there, particularly two very good assistant coaches (at least for now...got to think Kirwin will be lulled somewhere soon)
Charlie Toomey is also a Loyola grad. Would he leave his alma mater?

- Tufts. Daly's got them back in the title game. He's had quite a run there, starting it up and maintaining it.

Shawn Nadelin would be interesting at Princeton. Tough, defensive-minded coach...kind of following the Tierney mode.

All that said, I could see Yale's Andy Shay working well at UVa, along with Daly....
