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.

We should abide with whatever agreement we have made. by Piertravlr
If we have agreed to abide with the ACC rules for one year, we should do just that and not immediately ask for special treatment. Not honoring our commitments reflects badly on the University.
One can argue we should not have agreed to the ACC deal in the first place, but that is a different issue.
And switching home games with Navy makes no sense given the financial implications, particularly since Navy is owned by an entity that literally can print money.
Since we are already losing the USC series this year (which is a high profile quality series), taking a break from Navy for one year doesn't really strike me as a tragedy.
