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.

It is specifically about whether ND/Navy is the party by bleedsgreen04
cancelling, or whether it is the (actual) Irish coordinators cancelling this event, nothing more, nothing less.
Issuing refunds and giving money back is a separate issue entirely, but one that might wind up depending on how the above plays out.
Dublin and/or Notre Dame (and Navy to a lesser extent) don't want to be responsible for picking up the entire tab on the mess, so now it's become a game of chicken to see who will blink first.
I'm sure that the longer this goes on, the more likely the two parties are to come to an actual agreement.
